VIDEO Review: Topeak JoeBlow Booster Pump – Is it a replacement for the air compressor?

“The JoeBlow Booster pump just made it easier to install tubeless tires. No more frustrating leaks because you can’t pump up your tire fast enough to get an effective rim seal. This pump has an integrated aluminum air chamber that stores an air charge of one liter up to 160psi / 11 bar to quickly fill your tires and insure the proper installation on a tubeless rim.” – Topeak.com
