I have five sets of wheels set up tubeless. I always dreaded changing tires because of the difficulty of seating the tire with a floor pump. With the Serfas AF-1 Air Force One Air Canister, I get the benefit of a compressor with an easily transportable device. It is super easy to fill the canister with a floor pump and even easier to fill and seat a tubeless tire. Highly recommended for anyone that does not want or have space for a compressor.
This air canister works perfectly for me. Just got it and i'm 3 for 3 seating tubeless tires on the first try. I already had a nice floor pump, and did not want to buy an air compressor for my new tubeless gravel tires or spend the extra money for a nice combo floor pump. Can't recommend this enough if you (like me) already have a nice floor pump that's not designed for tubeless setup.
I bought this to seat my tubeless tires. I was expecting a replacement for my standing floor pump but I guess this works with the existing floor pump. No big deal but, you should know what you are buying. Probably just my inexperience.
This integrated well with my existing floor pump and it works well. The instructions for use are fairly straightforward and easy to follow.
I spend a lot of the summer traveling around the country riding gravel. This canister allows me to easily change tubeless tires without a compressor or bike shop. It allows me to ride and race without worry that a damaged tire will side line me.
Unless you are trying to seat a tubeless tire and don�t have access to an air compressor, this is worthless. It will hold 160 pounds of pressure, but try getting this much pressure with a hand pump. Even worse, mine won�t hold pressure overnight.
Used for tubeless.
