Not to be missed bik your gear
Used a few times already, handy! Works especially well when you take out the inner valve. Then you get the trickiest tyres on the rim properly.

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.

Essential
Works for what it is intended for, easy to use if you already have a good pump and essential if you do want to fit tubeless tires

Must for any bikes with tubeless tires.
Recommended, especially if you want to tubeless several bikes.

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.

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.

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.

Sufficient
The hose could have been a little longer, otherwise it works 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.

Fine thing. But do operate it with two men.
Cap does not fit valve properly but with two men managed to pop tubeless tire on rim in one go.

Absolutely essential kit for tubeless tyres
Product is excellent, small and compact for easy storage and inflates schwalbe pro ones first time.

It works just as its intended to do, no more puffing and grunting.

Easy solution
Makes going tubeless a lot easier. Worked first time I tried it. Loses points for the price for what is essentially a blow up bottle

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.
