Ideal for slamming tubless bikes, whether road or MTB.

- Jean-philippe, 28 February, 2024

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.

Indispensable if you want to put tubeless tires on yourself.

- Jeankes, 25 June, 2023

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".

Pros & Cons

Compact whole
Dummyproof operation
Swing-off valve
Mtb tires require a little more checking.

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

- Sjoerd, 22 January, 2023

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.

Pros & Cons

Easy to fit tubeless valve
Easy to inflate
Inflates the tire quickly
Expensive solution but cheaper than a compressor

Saves a lot of effort and frustration with Tubeless tires

- Max, 22 September, 2022

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.

Pros & Cons

Easy
Effective
Quick

Used to mount Continental GP5000. 1st time tubeless. Went super smooth thanks to schwalbe tire booster. Highly recommended!

Pros & Cons

Do not need a new pump koepn
Solid material
You can blow out all the air in 1x or controlled
Strap for hanging on floor pump is not ideal.

Works well!

- Cliff, 9 September, 2022

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.

Pros & Cons

Also works on (large) moped tires
Not suitable for Schräder valve

A must-have for gravel riders

- William, 10 May, 2022

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

(relatively) compact
Easy to use
Price/Quality
Floor pump required
Less suitable for really large tires (2.2")

Very fine solution for getting tubeless tires on the rim properly!

- Martijn, 22 January, 2022

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

Does what it needs to do
No more endless pumping

5 / 5

Nothing but praise!

- Mark, 10 January, 2022

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

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.

Excellent tool for fitting new tubeless tyres

- Stephen, 28 November, 2020

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.

Pros & Cons

Guarantees results provided you’ve prepared fully
Minutes instead of fighting poor sealing for hours
Powerful and fast
Could over-inflate and damage a small volume tyre
Gauge needs to go up to 11 bar which is not common
You need a pump to blow the cylinder up

Good piece of kit. Seated an awkward set of MTB tyres perfectly.

- Steven, 6 July, 2019

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.

Pros & Cons

Does the job
Pricey for what it is....but it does work.

Upgrade your pump for tubeless!

- Geoff, 3 July, 2019

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

Good instructions
Good value
Strap to fix onto a track pump

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.
