Most of the rattling on zippers comes from the metal tab hitting on the loop. You’d need to jam something in between those two pieces to get good result or replace the tab with strings that you can get at pretty much every outdoor store.

Seth, about the air canister for seating tubeless tires. I made one from an old kitchen fire extinguisher, a tubeless valve and a replacement hose and chuck for a floor pump. It is twice the volume of the water bottle you tested, so it blasts enough air in to seat the tire and it cost me $10 for the valve and $4 for the pump hose and chuck. Add $1 for the hose clamp I used to attach the new hose to the extinguisher hose. The extinguisher already has a trigger valve to release the pressure explosively. It is built to do that. If you have to replace a home fire extinguisher because it is expired, just clean it and convert it to a useful tool.

The funny thing is that a Milk-it Booster is like $65 on sale. Meanwhile, a Milwaukee M12 portable pump with battery and charger can be found on sale for less than $99. I can easily mount any stubborn tubeless tire with the Milwaukee with almost no effort, just remove the valve core and put on the little attachment for inflating pool toys. It is also capable of pumping up car tires, any sort of ball, and inflatable pool toys. It's also super compact, taking up less vertical space than the otherwise useless "Blaster".

I find that when trying to seat a tire bead, it helps to put a strap on the tread, which keeps the rubber expanding easier where you want it at the bead. Done this with motorcycle tires for years, especially when changing out tires on trips in the front of a hotel. Makes smaller pumps more useful in that regard.

I've had an Airshot inflator for a few years and think it has a few advantage over the product shown here. First, it can screw onto the valve, giving you a better seal (better than what Seth shows here). Second, the pump can stay attached to the inflator, so you an add more air as you like once you've release the inflator. I've seated a number of tires so far with the Airshot, and I really like it and would recommend.

I've been wailing on a pair of nylon saddlebags on my E bike for over a year, through a seattle winter and I haven't even felt the need to silicone spray or sno seal or wax them.

The Airshot's locking design seems to be much better, you thread it directly where the valve core was and release the air only once it's secure. Additionally you can leave the floor pump on, so for truly nightmare tires you can release the air the keep pumping for non-stop airflow.

2:00 it just seems like it doesn't have enough volume to be able to do it. If it was a bit larger it probably would be able to do it. its also going to be dependant on the tire like tire size, width, and how hard it is to seat the bead. The bigger the tire and the wider it is its going to take more volume, and if the tire is one of those thats very difficult to set the bead on that is just not going to be enough. You could takes some dish soap and rub along the tire where it's going to have the most friction when setting the bead to make it a little more slippery, plus ot will help seal when you're trying to set the bead.

i have my own trick of seating a tubeless tire on the rim, if you have any old floor pump you can rip the cable hose out and then you can put the end that was attached to the floorpump on your presta valve and put the other end on a tire like a dj tire that can go up to 80psi (just any tire that can hold high pressure) then the air from the dj tire gets transfert to the tubeless tire that needs to be seated and thats enough air to seat it

I bought a bag of 50 of the compressed towels about 6 years ago. I'm problem good for another 6 years or more. I carry some on camping trips. I use them as a wash cloth when I lose or forget mine. I stopped carrying toilet paper and used this in an emergency, then packed it out in the trash.

I love these videos. Many of the products I've purchased were because of your reviews.

A place I used to work at had a promo item that was a beach towel pressed into a small puck... It was meant to be dunked in water at the beach, it would pop out and you could leave it out to dry while you went swimming... The building we were at had a roofing issue and the roofers were working on it but they goofed, had to call it quits for the day and left the sketchy roof on it's own for that nights monsoon-level thunderstorm!! When I got to work the next morning, word got out that the IT company on the 2nd floor had suffered water damage, so I ran to the warehouse and was relieved to find both open crates intact with a massive puddle of water next to them... We were litterally inches away from towel apocalypse in the warehouse!!!

Thanks Seth, Always love watching your bike gizmo reviews to see what new “reinvention of the wheel” people come up with. For me, the reinventing the wheel winner is the Milkit air/water bottle ! $65 USD is an obscene price for a water bottle considering I can get one at a thrift or dollar store for under five bucks, would it hold 160 psi? Probably not. But then what am I doing? Am I filling it with water for a ride or am I filling it with air in case I get a puncture and need to reset my tire? It seems like you need a magic eight ball to know what the day is going to look like depending on what you fill your water/air bottle with. A paintball CO2 cannister at 800 PSI with inflation adaptor will seat your bead in seconds every time with multiple uses before running out. Huge fan of your channels, inspirational, informative, and always entertaining! Keep up the amazing work!!😁

I have a different brand of the air pump "booster". It works great for smaller volume tires. You probably need a bigger one for anything over ~50mm.

If you're talking about the Robert Axel you should do a review of Old Man Mountain racks on a full suspension bike.
