Default Tire pumps.......

Just curious what kind of tire pumps do you guys use on your bikes? I've been using a cheap bicycle pump but not sure how accurate it is. Thanks!

I have a small Black & Decker air compressor. It works great for inflating tires.

Have always used air compressors, then check with air gauge.

Thanks guys! Looks like it's time to buy a compressor. Think I'll check out Black & Decker.

This is what I've had for several yrs, after I gave my good one to my Son.

Won't do the power air tools as good as my old one, but it works for me now as i don't do what I used to.

Its pretty good for the average garage usage.

I have a 6 horse 20 gallon Porter Cable compressor at the house and carry a Slime 12 volt air pump on the bike.

I use the small, silver Slime pump. Excellent for the bike and even does a good job on a Porsche's huge collapsible spare. THAT is a true test of a pump! Again, check pressure with a hand-held gauge. Things attached to pumps shouldn't be trusted.
