On Board Air Options??

[Triathlete]

I was one of those people. I have THIS ONE

These will not re-bead a tire though. About the only thing that will do that is a Co2 tank. To re-bead a tire it takes a stong fast burst of air. But for airing up tires after the trail the above compressor is great. I was fortunate enough to get mine for $25 when the company that makes them first put them out on the market. The jeepers got wind of them and the positive reviews and they sold out FAST at that price. Even at the current price it is still a great value. They have been compaired to the much more expensive Viars.

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!

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!

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.

Yea! We never see 100 degrees here





















































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

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?

Just carry a can of WD40 and do this

Then use small compressor to inflate.
