Tubeless fitting without a compressor? Until now, you could labour like Sisyphus - usually with just as much success. With the Topeak Joeblow Booster, you can cheat the gods.

After just 50 strokes, the perfectly readable pressure gauge on the top of the Topeak Joeblow Booster 11 bar. When the switch is switched from Charge to Inflate, the compressed air flows into the tyre via the robust valve head. Even the initial fitting of three-inch wide plus-size tyres is an easy task for the booster. After a few seconds, the pressure gauge shows just under 1 bar. For more pressure, simply continue pumping by hand. The rubberised plastic handle sits comfortably in the hand. For fat tyres, however, the pump cylinder could provide a little more volume per stroke. Particularly clever: the 1.5 metre long hose and the release valve for fine adjustment of the air pressure.


PLUS Easy handling, large pressure gauge, easy tubeless mounting
MINUS Somewhat low volume in pump mode


Weight 3.44 kilos
Price 149,95 Euro
