milKit 2nd Generation - Making tubeless easy - again
Tubeless Booster and drinking bottle in one product - the milKit Booster replaces a conventional compressor, is inexpensive, lightweight and very easy to handle. For more safety and durability,
the improved, second version of the Booster's head uses stronger, more rigid materials and features structural reinforcements which include for example an additional steel ring.
To mount a tubeless tire, a huge air blast is required to force the tire bead into the rim flange and seal it. With a conventional air pump, this works rather rarely, depending on tire and wheel combination. Compressors are often used for this purpose, which can be found at petrol stations or workshops. milKit's Tubeless Booster is now available so that this can be done on the go and without a compressor. A special advantage: the bottle can also be used as a drinking bottle.
Note: The video shows the former, first version of the Booster. The second version includes the bottle with a screw-on top and the Booster head as well.
milKit Tubeless Booster Technology:
The core technology of the milKit booster is the valve-actuated slider that releases the air directly into the valve stem. No hose. No additional valve.
While the Booster is compatible with any tubeless tire valve, it works best with milKit tubeless valves. Because you remove the valve core before inflating tubeless tires (to achieve the highest possible air flow), a conventional tubeless valve does not act as a one-way valve anymore. The patented milKit valves have an additional rubber flap at the bottom that works as an additional one-way valve. Inflate the booster, press it on the valve, remove it, and your tires is installed. No hassle and no stress.
Using the milKit Tubeless Booster:
- Fill the bottle with a normal air pump and then press on the valve.
- The milKit Booster leads the compressed air directly into the valve - no loss of air pressure.
- The Tubeless Booster is so light that you can always carry it with you. Thanks to the included screw-on top, the bottle can also be used as a drinking bottle.
- High safety - tested several times at maximum pressure.
The bottle itself is compatible to conventional bottle holders (∅ 74 mm). The maximum air pressure for filling is 11 bar (160 psi). For using it as drinking bottle a screw-on top is included. The aluminum bottle features the same thread like bottles from SIGG, Laken and many more.
