+1 on bicycle pump

I had to change tyre on the track twice and it was ok at least not the hard bit. Plus I also use it when changing tyres at home. As bike tyres use little pressure, having 100psi capable pump is bit of waste IMO. Besides u can ride safely with about 15psi so is easy enough plus less things to brake and less chance to drain your battery ...

One more in favour is that I also use it on the mountain bike, so that is at least 3 usages

Even better is when your mate gets a flat, he's roadside trying to read the instructons (never fixed one before), you rock up wondering why he hasn't caught up.

You teach him a man never reads instructions, he protests (you later find out he didn't even read them all) and go about showing him how to repair the flat.

Still a damn good larf

Important part of this is the showing not doing. Why build up a sweat for ya mate when he so obviously needs to learn

Remember they are working with tubless. Don't think is's going to end well with a tube in the picture.

I took my $9 Warehouse pump down to the South Island on my trip and on my first night camping set it up to blow up my bed. It went but wouldn't have blown the skin off of a cup of cold porridge so I need to find another small pump solution now.

Came across this same situation myself this summer. Seems there's two types of 12v pumps out there; High pressure-low volume -i.e. tire pump and high volume low pressure eg. lilo/inflatable pump.

Super cheap auto sells a 12v hi volume lilo pump for $7.95 that will inflate your matress in less than a minute. I carried one on a 7 day camping trip and it worked flawlessly. Its just made of plastic so it weighs virtually nothing.

If anything, it's better than giving yourself an aneurysm blowing up an airbed every night.

Repco has them, they are included as a pack, with a bottle of Slime, approx $90 I recall. Hard to find though. I am tempted to get one, they are tidy and small, good reviews too.

I use a compressed air canister I had made to fit in the storage space, has enough air to fill 3 x 140 rears and can recharge with std bike pump/ compressor at home.
