Small air compressor
Hi, bit of a long shot...
I'm after a small air compressor for my garage. For tyre changes etc... If anyone knows of any going please feel free to pm me. Thanks

Re: Small air compressor
Just for blowing up tyres?
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/12-V-300-P...-/140703603234 Or are you looking for compressed air for other uses as well? |

Re: Small air compressor
I've got a couple of those ones, but I'm the same as the OP, I'd like one that runs off the mains in the garage.
I've just struggled getting the car close enough to allow the lead & air hose to blow up the bike tyres

Re: Small air compressor
Every bike should be fitted at the factory with a 12v cigar socket!!

Re: Small air compressor
Ah, thank you! I hadn't even given that kind of thing a thought before... I guess they would be fine for getting the bead on the rim.
Thanks again, I'll look into these a bit more. |

Re: Small air compressor
I had one of these for off roading and one of the best bits of kit to have around.

Re: Small air compressor
Hmm, yeah, tubeless tyres for road bikes may be an issue. They don't shift a lot of air in a short space of time.
