Can I top up or adjust the pressure with my track pump or do I need a compressor?
Wheels are on my new bike and been set up by LBS and already seated - it’s just it’s been sitting for 3 weeks.
Thanks!
Yes. Compressor only really needed to seat them. They all run on air. Crack on.
Thanks qwerty!
As above, crack on. I've only ever used a track pump including to seat the tyre. Yet to find a combination that's not been east to set up.
Just remember to wear your special tubeless pants when you do pump it up.
And these days I usually seat my tubeless tyres with no more than a track pump. We live in amazing times, not like the old days of frantic pumping and sealant explosions

That.
As above. Compressors really only needed when the tyre/rim don’t like each other or there’s a problem with the tape that’s being ignored. A decent high volume track pump should seat a tubeless setup and be all that is needed for maintenance. Obviously, your favourite trail mini pump will be fine for trail side adjustments too although won’t have enough oomph to reseat the tyre should you ever need to - hence ‘always carry a tube’ or now, the milkit booster.
Cheers.
I wasn’t quite sure but JoeBlow’d it up.
Tubeless pants you say?
