Only way you'll seat a tubeless would be to set the compressor at like 80 lbs. and hope for the best then pull the chuk once it seats. As a previous poster mentioned the flow rate is too slow. I'm going to try it for fun and report back.
This would probably be a good option.
Not trying to steal @Law's thunder (I would buy those if he makes them!) but I found the Pisgah Pad works as a conceptually similar solution to minimally protect the bike and tailgate without a full pad: https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/threads/r1t-and-mountain-biking.831/post-240929
I am but not sure when, I am testing different materials. I will pick it back up after winter, in the spring.
How much padding does that have?
Not a lot (maybe a half inch?) and it only covers the tube/stanchions, so you do want to watch out for wheel contact. Hasn't been an issue for me but I could see how it would be with different steering.
I put PPF above the tail light as well. Potential for tire scratching other parts aside, I'm more worried about the little dents a few folks have gotten in the ridge there.
I'm pretty happy with this Fox pad in size small. I only wish it took less time to put on and take off... but really, I can do that in about 3 minutes.
I have spent countless hours researching the best solution for carrying 1-2 bikes (quick to load / unload) and I think @Law has the best solution on many fronts . PLEASE brother - make a few for us ;->. Everyone goes with the big One Up racks (I have two already from my ICE vehicles - but they are heavy, take up room when off the truck, reverse alarm goes all the time, are expensive, major aero drag at highway speeds with bikes hanging off the back, etc.. ).
I did get the onboard compressor to reseat a tubeless tire, which was previously seated and then I had to replace a valve stem. I alway use a plastic tire iron to move one side of my tire as far to the edge of my wheel as possible. Reseat worked and beads popped into place.......Assegai......
