yup she dropped it off yesterday, moaned like a good 'un about having to wait though

if you need the use of my Co2 pump for your ghetto tubeless let me know.
i shall endevour to make it to next weeks meet, need to start getting out more spent most of this winter tucked up inside

I'm not there next week, but enjoy May try track pump first, but thanks for offer, may yet take you up on it

as i say you may have to track down a couple of Co2 carts (it takes both threaded and non threaded) as i've only got the 1 left and may need that in an emergency .

they are pretty much 1 shot wonders though, if you're lucky you can get enough pressure into both tyres with 1 cart then top up with track pump.

Think I found a co2 pump in a bag of old stuff I inherited with a bike while rummaging just now in the cellar. Looks threadless. Looks like you just hold valve against tyre valve and press lever - nothing to grip it on/lock it on like normal pumps - is this right?

although mine has a locking lever it is in no way strong enough to keep it on the valve against the pressure of the Co2, so i still have to hold it on quite firmly.

it's probably about the same hill wise, fair bit shorter in distance though.
