I have a genuine innovations air chuck, that I've used once on the road bike. It seemed to work perfectly and is a whole lot easier than pumping

Can't comment on stans flow

I've got an SKS Airchamp, which is very good but takes unthreaded cartridges (can be a pain to get).

Be aware that CO2 [url= http://messageboard.notubes.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=66 ]isn't recommended[/url] with Stan's sealant, at least not the initial inflation anyway.

Don't use CO2 with tubeless sealant, it does something to the latex solution causing the latex to clump together into a solid ball.

Just get a good tack pump.

You can get N2O cartridges which might work if you're desperate from www.creamsupplies.co.uk which is the same company as www.tyreinflators.co.uk just for a different market.

As an aside, I wonder why we use CO2 and not N2 cartridges.

That catering supplies place has [url= http://www.creamsupplies.co.uk/argon-cartridges-non-threaded-pack-of-10/prod_1196.html?category= ]argon cartridges[/url] if you really want something that won't react with sealant.

And whatever you do, don't think about filling a balloon with the N2O and taking in the contents to your lungs, repeatedly 😉

It's nearly as much fun as riding your bike! 😀

i use the decathlon one. It's good, I got replacement cartidges from tyreinflators.co.uk in the larger 16g size.

I use it most often for getting the tyre seated on the rim, then you let it down and reinflate with a track pump easy as you like
