Description
Compatibility
Designed to transfer air pressure between two tires (e.g., from a fully inflated tire to a flat/low tire) or to help seat beads on tubeless tires. Can be used with most standard automotive, motorcycle, and ATV tires.
Specifications
- Length: 5 ft. braided air hose
- Fittings: Flip-lever locking air chucks on both ends
- Storage: Includes a vinyl pouch
- Durability: Braided exterior for strength (may have minor cosmetic imperfections)
How It Works
- Attach One End to the Donor Tire
- Secure the locking air chuck to the valve stem of a fully inflated tire.
- Connect the Other End to the Low/Flat Tire
- Attach the second chuck to the tire needing air.
- Transfer Air
- Let the air flow from the donor tire until the receiving tire reaches a safe rideable pressure.
- If you have a portable inflator (like the CyclePump), you can refill the donor tire and repeat as needed.
- Seat Tubeless Beads
- Use a high-pressure donor tire to rapidly flow air into a partially mounted tire and help seat the bead.
- Properly lube the tire and rim for best results.
Key Features
- Emergency Aid: Allows you to “donate” air so both tires can be partially inflated, making it easier to ride to a service station.
- Bead Seating: Rapid air transfer helps seat tubeless tire beads.
- Easy Storage: Comes with a compact vinyl pouch for travel convenience.
Additional Information
- Lube Matters: Always use a proper tire bead lubricant (e.g., BeadGoop) to seat tubeless tires.
- Maintenance: Minor imperfections in the braided outer layer do not affect performance.
The DonorHose is an innovative and practical solution for transferring air in off-road, ATV, and motorcycle scenarios, as well as for quickly seating tire beads when away from standard inflation equipment.
