Anyone converted their Turbo Vado to tubeless tires?

Get a Schwalbe Tire Booster or the Airshot which is the original brand. There is also the Topeak Joe Blow Booster tire pump. I use the Tire Booster with a Makita electric pump. I do have a compressor but generally if you need the compressor something is not fitting right. Edit 2. Don't do this anywhere that does not have a hard surface and easy to clean or over a large plastic sheet. Do not wear your favorite jeans no matter how good you are.

I have the Joe Blow — excellent all-around floor pump! I've only had occasion to use the reservoir feature twice for seating tubeless tires, but it worked well both times. No room for any compressor in my small garage.

One easy way to see how well a tire will seat is if the bead sits on the center of the rim, it will be hard. I have some Schwalbe tires that the bead is as wide or wider than the tire, and it seals with just a regular pump, but it makes it harder to get on as the first side likes to come off while trying to get the second on.

I edited my post but I use a Makita battery air pump with the booster. I checked the prices of the Joe Blow Booster after I posted. I think the Airshot is the cheapest way to go if you already have a tire pump..
