I've seen a very interesting article a few days ago. It was about how to make a tubeless inflator. I don't normaly jump on these things but after I finished up reading I decided I'll give this a try. I don't have a compressor in my bike shed, so I think it definitely worth a try!

| Everything's here, let's do it! |
- 1 x plastic bottle
- 2 x presta valves (I used tubeless valves instead of valves cut out of old tubes)
- 1 x plastic clip
- 30 cm of plastic pipe (from my local pet store)
- some insulating tape
Drilled 2 holes, tightened up 2 valves, taped up the pipe and put the whole inlator together. It was ready to be tested in about 10 minutes! Quite quick little project, isn't it?!

| Here it is, my brand new homemade tubeless inflator |

| The first pressure test, everything seems to be fine |
So, I hope with the help of this homemade inflator I can make tubeless tyre fitting smoother and easier in the future. Test results will be posted, stay tuned! :)
