Giant tubeless sealant refill & check syringe kit


Getting the right amount of sealant into your tubeless tyres to start with is easy. The problem is knowing how much it has dried up or leaked out after a few months, without stripping the tyre off.

This simple but effective syringe kit lets you ‘dipstick’ the sealant level in your tyre by unscrewing the valve core, slipping the pipe into the valve and sucking out the juice. If you need to add more, then simply suck extra out of your sealant bottle, lock the flow off with the mid-pipe valve, and inject it into the tyre.

The press-fit connections are less secure than screw-in fixtures, and you don’t get valves with a sealing ‘mouth’ like you do with MilKit’s similar-looking (but considerably more expensive) kit, so there’s a risk the tyre will unseat when you deflate it. That means there’s no danger of blowback, though, and we like the fact you get a spare pipe to use if/when the first one gums up.

Price $15

Cannondale Trail SL 29 SS

The fat aluminium tubes are a constrast to the skinny items seen elsewhere in the test, but this rigid Cannondale uses them to create one of the most old-school - and lightest - rides here.

KONA SHRED

With a reputation for no-nonsense ruggedness and a background in the always progressive and punishing riding of Canada, Kona have been building hardcore hardtails for longer than almost anyone else. The Shred is the most expensive bike on test but it’s a proper trail tank.

SKS Airbuster CO2 inflator

The alloy Airbuster has a large knob so you can regulate the flow of gas, a mechanical stop to prevent the cartridge being pierced in transit and a dust cap to keep the valve free of debris. While it works with Presta and Schrader valves, switching between them requires a fiddly change of the valve head. The thin rubber sleeve doesn’t provide much protection from cold spent canisters. You can’t insert much of the valve into the inflator head, so you have to be careful to avoid leaks. Price $33 w/16g cartridge
