Great piece of kit
Easily inflates tubeless tyres and no need to use up Co2 canisters
Pros & Cons
5 / 5
Works well
Just started the tubeless journey, and gradually getting it on all my bikes. The more tyres I tried, the more I realised that it wasn't always going to be easy getting new tyres to seal against the rim. So read around a bit, and invested in one of these. Glad I did, the success rate of getting tyres to seal 1st time has improved greatly and saved me a lot of grief.

A must for tubeless seal, Works perfectly
I could never get a good seal with an ordinary foot pump, and was using CO2 cartridges. The Tire Booster is perfect, 2 tyres fitted front and rear with no problem at all. Well worth having in your workshed/tools

Fantastic
The tire booster, what a time saver. For the life of me I could not pump up my two Schwalbe CX One tyres. My rims are not tubeless ready but with this Schwalbe the tire booster they were pumped up in seconds. Probable the bests products I’ve bought in years. Very happy.

Ideal for slamming tubless bikes, whether road or MTB.
I was able to fit my first tubless tyres easily. There's no need for a compressor, and I can take it with me when I'm out and about, in addition to my bike pump. Make sure that the valve is tight to the tank, as it can be removed. Make sure you use the correct filling pressure for the size of your tyres, and don't forget to brush the sidewalls with soapy water. I advise you to apply the preventive after fitting to avoid soiling your rims. There are syringes with a fine tip that can be used by removing the shell. Finally, I store my wheels with the valve at the bottom so as not to risk clogging it.

Don't go tubeless without it!
I no longer dread the idea of changing a tubeless tire. The main question I ask myself is why I did not buy this tool before. I think it is very pricey, but on the other hand it does the job. First try and tire sat on the bead.

Excellent, does a great job
Was having real problems inflating a tubeless tyre and could not get anything to work. The Schwalbe Tire Booster worked first time, really pleased
Pros & Cons
5 / 5
Indispensable if you want to put tubeless tires on yourself.
The pump is very easy to use and compact. Reusable every time and you choose how much pressure to pump into the cylinder. When inflating tubeless mtb tires do need to fill the cylinder 2 times and "boost" the tire to make the tire "pop".

Upgrade your pump for tubeless!
Brilliant add on to a standard (HP) track pump to blast air into your tubeless tyre to seat it onto the rim. Makes going tubeless a doddle! Once seated you can put the sealant in through the valve tube with the valve removed - replace valve and pump up using an ordinary track pump. Two fittings one for the valve stem and one for the standard presta valve.
Pros & Cons
5 / 5
Good piece of kit. Seated an awkward set of MTB tyres perfectly.
Good reviews of the tyre booster on the internet and great pricing and fast delivery from Mantel. I'd never needed a booster before and managed to seat all my tyres with a track pump. However, one combination of rim and tyre just wasn't working. I tried the Schwalbe booster and it popped two tyres on to the rims first time. I didn't even need to remove the presta valve core. Highly recommend this piece of kit. Seems well made if a little pricey for what it is.

Simple well made and does exactly what it's supposed to
Just pump it up with a track pump then just let the pressure go to seat the Tubeless tyre. Works so well I'm considering a second for travelling.

Does exactly what it says.
I've used it twice and it worked first time on both tyres. I tried inflating the first one just using a track pump but couldn't get it to seal. With this booster it's a simple task.

Perfect for mounting tubeless tires
I mounted my first tubeless on the first try with this easy-to-use device. You need a good foot pump to fill it with air and compress it. Excellent value for money from Mantel.

Works well
Having failed to install tubeless tyres with a foot pump and not owning a compressor went for this tire booster. Bingo, fitted 2 tyres with no problem.

Excellent tool for fitting new tubeless tyres
This tool makes blowing up new tubeless tyres as simple as possible - provided the tyre and rim make a good seal between them this will provide all of the air pressure (and a lot more besides) necessary to seat the tyre.

a must have with a tubeless setup
I had a tubeless setup that I wanted to put back on. With a regular hand pump I didn't succeed. But by using the tire booster I succeeded :-) A cheap and handy solution, ideal for home use.

Practical solution for making tires tubeless yourself
Works well to pressurize a tubeless tire and pop the rim. Suitable for road bike tires as well as heftier mtb and gravel tires (which are a bit trickier to get into the rim all at once) tip, always pump the tire booster up to 10 bar with the lever you can easily regulate it to determine how much air you need to get the tire to pop.

Saves a lot of effort and frustration with Tubeless tires
Fitting Tubeless tires was very difficult with my normal foot pump. Unfortunately I couldn't get the tire bead in the right place, no matter how hard and long I pumped. After a lot of frustration I decided to stop by Mantel to get this Tire Booster. And thank goodness, because it was a snap. Also very handy for the next time I have to change my tires! The Tire Booster simply has a Presta valve and is therefore very easy to pressurize. Just make sure you have a valve core remover or pliers! Otherwise you won't be able to screw the booster on. Once that's done it's super easy and fast.

Works better than expected
Used to mount Continental GP5000. 1st time tubeless. Went super smooth thanks to schwalbe tire booster. Highly recommended!
Pros & Cons
5 / 5
Works well!
I had bought these to inflate my tubeless moped tires. I never managed to inflate them with a normal pump and with the Tire Booster it went without a problem. Problem was that both the valve of the booster and the pump head were only suitable for Presta valves. I replaced the pump head for one that can handle both Presta and Schräder valves. So unfortunately, filling the Tire Booster can only be done with the hand pump, and not, for example, with the pump at the gasoline pump. But that was the only downside.

Great device for and reasonable price
Once you get the hang of how it works it comes in very handy when fitting tubeless tires

Highly recommended for lack of compressor and on the go.
Delivered within two days of ordering. I tried it out immediately-it did its job flawlessly. Only difficulty I had with it was to inflate it to its full capacity with regular bike pump, but loaded to half proved to be sufficient. Overall a "Must have" for anyone wanting to ride tubbeless bikes.

Does what needs to do well
It is a fine simple thing that completes its task with verve. Tires are tight under it all at once.

A must-have for gravel riders
Where I could still easily get a 40mm gravel tire on a hooked DT-Swiss rim seated with a floor pump and quick pumping, I knew after 10 minutes that all that swagger was no solution for a 50mm tire on a hookless rim. So since I already had a floor pump, I was looking forward to an external pressure tank that could give me that initial burst of pressure. And this Schwalbe can do that with verve. Very easy to use, and delivers a large enough air volume to seal even difficult tires, often even without having to remove the valve core (I managed without!). Perfect size for "mid-size" tires, but for really big tires like on MTBs it may fall short. Maybe it works in combination with simultaneous refilling?
Pros & Cons

Works well
Plopped the tires on in one go (twist out valve!), so very satisfied.
Pros & Cons

Works as described
Works great. If the tire is previously still lubricated with the Schwalbe Montage Fluid, the tire sits perfectly the first time with only 7 bar pressure.

Very fine solution for getting tubeless tires on the rim properly!
After a very long time of pointless pumping and pulling out all the gimmicks, I still had a flat tubeless tire. I was fed up with this and started looking for the right solution. I already had a good bicycle pump, but without an air chamber. Finally I found the Schwalbe tire booster. Both tires inflated in one go! Really nice. No need to go to the bike shop with red faces, just do it myself:)!
Pros & Cons
5 / 5
Nothing but praise!
Really super easy. Just like that. People talking about the connection being poorly done. Is not true. Feels solid. You do have to have a threaded tubeless valve or it won't work really well because so much bar comes out. But I think they all have that. Hose is short but not too bad. Your pump is at max 25cm from the wheel anyway. Otherwise, you also have such a hose constantly hanging somewhere in the way. Band to attach works well. Just try a few times and it will be tight around the pump. You can also tape it to the pump if you like. If you are not satisfied with the tightness of the cylinder. My tire went right on at 8.5 bar. Cylinder can be inflated to 11 bar. That's enough anyway. Otherwise your tire might pop. With small tires.

A must have when fitting tubeless tires
Easy to use. Use an ordinary bicycle pump to pressurize the cylinder. Then you can pop the tubeless tire on the rim in one go. Not yet used on MTB tires, but used on 33 mm gravel tires.
Pros & Cons

It works perfectly, no compressor needed
I bought it because you can't heel it via the floor pump, by the way if you want the booster you can carry it with you in bike packing bags, it weighs less than 500 grams

Pros & Cons

Works as expected
Without difficulty I was able to pump 7 bar into the booster, which allowed me to get the tubeless tire into the rim. On the other wheel, it took several repetitions before the tire grabbed into the rim anywhere. Of course, that depends more on type of tire and rim.
Pros & Cons
4 / 5
Very satisfied with this product
I have been using this tire booster for a while now. I have both MTB and race tubeless now. With 'difficult' tires build up pressure to 11 bar and then the tire always 'pops'. Always unscrew the valve core, connect the booster to it, and after inflating, unscrew again but do not let all the air out (then the tire sometimes shoots back), but replace the valve core as soon as possible and then inflate the tire to the desired pressure.
Pros & Cons
4 / 5
Good purchase
Booster is simple to connect to the hose of the bike pump through French valve. The extra hose to the booster connects to the valve of the tire. If you have the booster on pressure it can be operated with a valve. You can attach the booster to the bike pump with the supplied Velcro. This is not stable, 2 Velcro straps would be better.
Pros & Cons
4 / 5
In some cases, perhaps easier.
I bought this booster because it didn't work so well with the pump , with the booster it does make a difference although I can't really say it works perfectly. I think it varies from case to case. with me it wasn't airtight well afterwards so maybe it would have worked without. The product itself looks neat and fit my valve just fine.

Good device.
The Tire Booster is a great tool. Powerful enough to insert a tubeless tire into the rim. In my opinion, the head of the hose should be changed so that this tool can also release its air at once on valves where the core cannot be removed. It has trouble with valves where the core cannot be removed. It comes across that the air is blocked. Furthermore, this piece of equipment is powerful enough to put a tire in place where the desired sound, popping, is produced.

An essential ingredient if you have fat tubeless tyres.
After a frustrating few days struggling to convert my tubeless ready tyres to fully tubeless, and hours on youtube, it dawned on me that this was what I was missing. Follow the instructions and the job's a good 'un.

Helps the desperate
I had previously mounted tyres on my 29" mtb wheels with soap and water but remounting a used tyre was a problem, ditto with a new tyre, so tried this booster. First problem, my e-thirteenvalve head was wrong size to accommodate convertor to attach booster, so replaced valve needlessly for stans just to get this connection. With the valve insert still in, no joy in mounting tyre, so removed it for better whoosh. I had a problem getting up to the 150 pound of pressure, one pump gave up around 80, an old car foot pump got me to around 110 and after 2 goes just about mounted the tyre. I had 2 small pops not the big bang seen on videos, but my 29" * 2.2 tyres are bigger than most. I went for this over peers as volume times pressure should mean it holds more air in smaller space as the others max pressure is around 100 - 120. As the pump t inflate it needs higher capacity, this is hard and the instructions say not to inflate it with a compressor. This means an all in one pump/booster would seem to make more sense, where the pump can input the max poundage of pressure. In a review on youtube they had a problem with a feeder pump and just switched t another, I bet it was because most pumps can't get up to 150 pound. Tyre now on, still hard several weeks later with stans fluid in, for which I bought a syringe, so I can insert neatly via valve to top up, rather than break a good bead seal just to inspect and top up the stans fluid. I've had my new bike with tubeless for about 21 months, this was a massive pain, but now resolved I'll continue tubeless, though does make you question it - I have proper e thirteen tubeless wheels, not converted.

Does its job suboptimally
Excellent Tire Booster. However, one must adjust the attachment point of the hose to the valve. With a valve where the core is in, this booster has the necessary difficulty. This can be solved by either unscrewing the core or by not fully tightening the hose and guiding it by hand. It all works then, but easy is different.

insufficient pressure
For mtb tires 29 inch, does not go, not enough pressure to make the tire jump on the rim, returned and refunded , jacket is top ,

Good booster with too few attachments
Despite Schwalbe brand valves, the connection does not fit, allowing air to escape. With some improvisation, we managed to get the air into the tire.
Pros & Cons

Good for race/gravel tires, not mtb.
The pump works nicely in itself but beware: it does not have enough pressure/air for an mtb tire. In the end I still had to use the hand pump to get the tires to pop (Maxxis Ardent Skinwall EXO TLR) Still looking for a compressor.

Not for use with 25mm tires
Bought the Tire Booster to make me DT Swiss pr1600 tubeless with Schwalbe Pro One 25mm tires. This was an extremely disappointing experience. (Would have been better off buying a compressor for a few bucks more.) In order to use the Tire booster, the valve core (French valve) must remain in place. Because of this, the punch is not big enough to inflate the tire. So you remove the valve core but then the tire booster can no longer screw on the valve. (Tubeless valve with no external thread.
