On Board Air Options??

[JoFotoz]

I have the same unit Billy (Triathlete) does..

....and would agree with him....excellent value even at the $60 price.

Plus...it takes the huff & puff out of blowing up pool toys!

Just carry a can of WD40 and do this

Then use small compressor to inflate.

The question is however, how long does it take? With an air tank its like seconds...

I can air up my 31's from 15 to 40 psi in about 4 minutes each. Not that bad at all. I had a Co2 tank, but living in the desert, the heat would cause the gas to expand and blow the emergency seal. Not fun when that happens...windows fog up and oxygen disapears instantly!

[Marlin]

I run a CO2 tank, and I am pretty sure its hotter here in Charleston than the dessert, we were in the hundreds last week, no problems with my tank venting...it may just depend upon the valve setpoint.

[Triathlete]

Yea! We never see 100 degrees here





















































At least not in our 2 months of "winter".

[Marlin]

I get it, but how often does it get that hot in Britain? Plus, if you ahve the rain guards, keep the windows cracked, and are tinted, then you should have ZERO CO2 problems. I think Bart keeps his in the back too?

[nfpgasmask]

Yeah, I've never had any issues with mine *knock on wood*. Up here in Reno we generally get a week or three where we hit 100+ degrees. But that said, Billy is down in the 135 degree territory. THAT is FARKIN hot.

4 minutes each is just too long.

ya, i was gonna say that AZ is way hotter than SC lol...

i know my parents house in Lake Havasu hits like 120-130..and its by water...
ive heard tuscon is hotter than that...

[Marlin]

I get the idea, I was thinking about how hot it feels. 105 at 80% humidity puts the heat index into the high teens low 120s. No effect on a CO2 tank.

[Triathlete]

Nope Havi and Yuma battle each other for the hottest! We have seen 117 but that is rare. Usually we are 105-110...but, its a dry heat!

SO..

Will a 3 gallon tank re-bead a tyre ??

[alanbradley]

Errr... the trick is not to unbead the tyre in the first place :P

My little Costco compressor was doing a valiant job of retaining pressure, but could never have re-beaded the tyre. Its one of the reasons I cart the big spare with me off-road.

The tanks are a smart solution but the do take up a load of space.

THats true!! they are big. I like the idea of Ldubs setup. I'm wondering if i can make a 'removable' boot build that utilises the seat brackets so if i HAD to i could pull out all the tools and gear and just pop the seats back in. like a 12mm MDF base and build up from there.
