Hi guys..

right after having 2 small compressors go "US" I need something that aint gonna break.

Needed for the Trails/touring that goes into my small tailpack ,,gets loads of bouncing around and general trail abuse.

so whats everyones thoughts...

I tried the cycle pump but thats hard work .

Ive got a £3 99 jobby from local petrol station put a plug on it that fits my sockets = BMW - and stripped the plastic casing off it - made a simple guard to cover the terminals and finger trapping bits wrap it in a cloth in a poly bag = Jobs a goodun I have had one like this for 5 years and quite a few miles 10000 and lots of trailing used it about ten times and still works - when its knackered its in the bin and get another Finished lump is about 2 inch x 4 x 4

Thought about one of these: http://direct.tesco.com/q/R.207-9391.aspx

Not the same kudos as a slime etc, but at that price ......

Slime power sports inflator..for me spot on

I have the slime, not cheap but fits under the seat nicely and seems to take the knocks so far, no gauge though. Can't imagine being more pissed off than having a compressor under the seat all that time then when you go to use it it doesn't work

I've seen yours in action :laugh: the look on there faces when you got the compressor out was priceless :laugh: :laugh:

i have this one in the boot of my car but when and if i get my bike i will be purchasing a smaller kind very light strong build and unlike other it dont get warm after so long also quite fast at inflating did my car tyre in 15 mins and i thing thats good just working of a cigerette lighter hope this helps
