Air compressor for bike tires?

Post by JTyre »

Does anyone have a recommendation for an air compressor? I would like to buy one (used or new) that I can use to 1) seat and inflate tubeless cross tires, and 2) top-up road tires. Money is no object because I'll quickly recoup by exorbitantly charging Rolf and Alan to pump their tires.

I have an air compressor you can come over and borrow anytime.

There is always a sale on at Canadian Tire. The larger the capacity, the more tires you can do without the pump turning back on in the midst of trying to seat your tubeless tires. I have a one gallon compressor, which sometimes I find limiting. There is also often on sale a schrader + presta inflator for $20 with a gauge.

Thanks, Rob. What brand of compressor do you have, and is the inflator something that comes separately?

And, Alan, thanks for the offer but I think I'll take a pass. When it comes to mechanical things like inflating tires, your track record speaks for itself,

John.

I own 4 compressors for work. Blowing up a tire is so easy that any brand can handle it. If you want something half decent that will last the rest of your life and have enough tank capacity then look at one of these.

I have a larger makita that is 12 years old and used daily. Rollie is supposed to be better.
