Good morning, it’s Makita-san here!
This is a corner where we introduce rare Makita products.
I’m happy to report that the bead on the scooter’s tubeless tire came up successfully. Not bad at all (*’ω’*)
Even with small-diameter scooter tires, compressors can sometimes struggle with this too.
When they do struggle, it’s often because the tire has been flattened during storage.
The recommended tip from the other day is easy to remove quickly, so it gets a double circle!

When bringing out the bead, it’s convenient to switch to the Makita STD screw-in type.
That way, if the bead doesn’t come up, you can support it with your free hand.
If you watch the air pressure, you can obviously tell that air is going in.
The point is, if it stays at zero, there’s no point in continuing to pump air—instead, support the tire so the air doesn’t leak out.
The same applies with a compressor too.
The rear required a little support, but the bead came up easily.
If you’re thinking a compressor is too much for DIY, I think this is really convenient.
