The Pro Team Compressor comes from Shimano’s component brand and gives you the ability to seat tubeless tyre beads at a lower price than an all-in-one reservoir and pump.

With more and more bikes, aftermarket wheelsets and tyres coming tubeless-ready, tubeless clincher technology is rapidly becoming established on road bikes. Tolerances are getting better so, unlike a few years ago, you’re much less likely to find a wheel and tyre combination where the tyre is impossible to fit or alternatively blows off the rim when inflated.
