Of course, if you have a nearby Specialized dealer, you may be able to try the Specialized device in the store, and also save the shipping cost.

The Specialized version may be just as good but once you throw in the shipping cost ($12 from Specialized, Free shipping on Amazon), there wasn't a big enough difference in price to justify trying it. Finally, even though I already own a compressor, I find that the Airshot is so easy to set up and use, that I even use the Airshot in preference to my compressor. But, given the simplicity of the design, I'm sure that I could put together a DIY head replacement. I hope that replacements will be available. There is a small rubber gasket which holds the Airshot inflation head in place. It works very well, is very sturdy and compact for travel, but you do have to remove the valve core from your tubeless valve stem in order to use the special Airshot inflation head which inserts directly into the valve body. I've already seated several tubeless GG tires with the Airshot without a single failure. The Airshot looked like a a solid well made product and I could buy it Amazon and easily return it if didn't like it. The integrated pump solution didn't appeal to me. Like others have commented, I already own several excellent floor pumps and a compressor. Of course, if anyone has more experience, I'd appreciate suggestions and advice.Īfter thinking over the alternatives and prices, I went for the Airshot. Simply charge up the Airshot, and then release a blast of high-pressure air using the release tap to seat tubeless tire beads, or simply top off tires that are already seated. It can be filled and recharged using a standard floor pump. But, since I prefer using my Lezyne's and don't like "Smartheads" I'm more likely to chose the Specialized Air Tool. Airshot is a portable, rechargeable tank for inflating tubeless bicycle tires. If cost was no object and if I didn't already have a collection of floor pumps, I would probably go for the Topeak as a great do everything pump.
Could help with seating difficult tires.Ĭons: No test info. Inflation chuck can either be screwed into tire valve or used as a regular chuck. tested by bike radar - works and is sturdy easy to use bleeder valve to adjust tire pressure Can be switched easily to a regular floor pump to either complete the inflation or be used as a regular floor pump. Pros - Tested by JOM at Gravel Cyclist with very positive review I've looked at several products and here are the pros and cons I see. As a result the Airshot Air Canister has officially gained a spot on my CX race day packing list.Thanks everyone for the feedback and suggestions. It’s not a true replacement for the ease of an air compressor, but it’s portable, effective and it has kept me from having to acquire another floor pump which is especially beneficial when you live in a New York City apartment. Does this make it a qualified business expense? Airshot Air Canister Review: Conclusions Because of its portability, it’s a highly effective and green (no CFCs) solution for blowing out computer keyboards. (Currently shipping with black 3d prints. Front 30x30 and rear underside 20x20 GoPro mount positions allow for both for chase and follow footage. I have discovered off-label uses for this canister. Vert arm profile for minimal prop thrust obstruction with 4-in-1, or traditional flat arm for individual ESC mounting. The canister is light and the hose is short (out of engineering necessity) and when working quickly to set tires, it is easily knocked over. The biggest gripe I have with the Airshot canister is that it can be clumsy to use.
It was surprisingly effective and relatively easy to use. For the four wheels that I set up I never needed to use the canister more than once. Using the Airshot is pretty straight forward, just attach your floor pump to the presta valve on the top, pump it up to 130psi, attach the hose to your wheel and let it rip. Nostalgia aside, the Airshot seemed to be an effective, space conscious, low(er) price solution for setting tubeless tires. I was drawn to the Airshot Canister because of its comforting blue color and it reminded of the old propane tank that my dad had converted into an air tank for filling his go-kart tires. While there are several options for re-fillable canisters on the market, I opted for the Airshot 1.5L air canister. Already having 3 floor pumps, I opted for the latter.
After an exorbitant amount of time combing the internet I found myself with two options, purchase a new bike pump with a built-in chamber for setting tubeless tires such as the Joe Blow Booster or the Lezyne Pressure Overdrive, or purchase a rechargeable air canister that can be re-filled using a standard floor pump. With cyclocross season upon us I found myself with four tubeless wheels in need of new rubber and no access or room for an air compressor.
