Special air pumps for Bikes? k2 curvy BS - Page 2 - SV650.org

I keep one of these under my bike seat for tyre pressure checking (well worth a fiver) and just fill the tyres on the air lines at work.

I use my old bike pump... I counted once, it takes 143 strokes to put a 160 Roadtec to 39psi.

I have a 25 litre compressor too, but I need the exercise

Not quite what the OP meant, but in case anyone wants a 12v airpump to carry with them (touring etc) there's one done by "Slime", like here

I got a cheapo Argos 12v one and took the working bits out of the case so it's even smaller, but if you don't want the hassle and want a neat package...........

Carry an electric tyre inflator on a touring holiday? I think I'd rather use the room take another change of clothes or my sleeping bag!! Not to mention the effort of connecting it all up...

There's a little foot-pump on there which supposedly fits under the seat, though that depends on the bike I guess.

Go to Machine Mart and buy a good 2 cylinder foot pump and a decent tyre pressure gauge and forget about garage forecourts, besides you dont need to fumble about for a 20p piece
