Tyre Inflator

[granstar]

Garage I use an Arlec pump with gator cables to an old bike battery that I charge up, really portable for zipping around the tintops and bikes.


On the road I got a pocket full of these cause they are cheap (135 degree ... because no one really wants to see my butt crack.) Rarely used as I tend to check tyre pressure before a ride, only would need them in case of a flatty and you gonna get sticky fingers and grumpy anyway in that case.

It's not like I don't use the one at the gas station when I have too, it's just always such a mission when you're dealing with Attachment 334483

I have used a bicyce track pump for years - for the car as well as the two wheelers. I also have a separate gauge. I'll trust the built-in gauge on the push bike tyres, but that's it. The pump is not a lot of work because it's only a top up. I have no ambition of pumping a car tyre up from flat.

Saw the infomercials then read some reviews of how overpriced and crap they are which is how I ended up at Bunnings.

Yeah I got one too but never ended up using it as you still have to go through the process of getting it on. Now that I can inflate at home I’m more inclined to keep good pressure.

What's wrong with buying 2 and leaving them on the bike

I'm with you - thats what I use even though I own a compressor.... I have two "Accu-Gauge" tyre pressure gauges which were spendy but seem to be good quality.

A good option indeed. I have one of those but fitted with a "multi-head" so it can handle car/bike fittings and also the smaller bicycle tyre valves.
Have the innovations kit on the bike, in case of punctures away from anywhere.

I have similar for my mountain bikes. I use it on car and mc tyres as compressor overkill unless you changing tyres. One of cheaper t7 brands, does high volume fast and the built in gauge is only out very slightly but is very consistant.

I love tools.

I have three of everything...cept tyre inflators of which I have four.

I remember those tyre pando's that came in a spray can shake it for a good minute then just put the nozzle on on the valve then empty cotents into tube,inflats whole tyre. Don't know if they still make them?

I also use a bicycle floor pump. It's a relatively cheap one, and I have checked the gauge against a much better gauge and found it to be within about 1 psi.

do each them of take turns at "blowing" up the spare.

I've got one.

No, just going through stages of purchasing different grade crap ones until finally getting a quality inflator. Plus the little 12v that lives in my tail-bag.

Same plan as me.

Gremlins put me onto a good 12v air compressor.

I have added a handy supply from battery just in case.
Also supplies GPS.
