SanDiegoGuy Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Do you use a portable tire air compressor to pump up your wheel ? For my Solowheel Glide 3, I just use the hand held tire pump to pump up the tire. However, I plan to use the portable tire air compressor to pump up my Z10 tubeless tire once I get the tire fixed. I looked on Amazon and there are a bunch of them out there. I was thinking of getting this since it has good review: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07F2LCB33/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=AKNUSI5SDKOF5&psc=1 I also plan to use it for other vehicles such as cars, bikes, etc.... I even thought of getting the hand held one like this one: https://www.amazon.com/Compressor-Portable-Cordless-Ansteker-compressor/dp/B07G995WMF/ref=pd_cart_sspa_dk_ct_pt_sub_1_4?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B07G995WMF&pd_rd_r=68XXPT40VX2J81RXVXJP&pd_rd_w=XPMCm&pd_rd_wg=Ja9i6&pf_rd_i=cart-page-widgets&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_p=e9940bcc-0cba-481d-a16e-afc6c72853f4&pf_rd_r=68XXPT40VX2J81RXVXJP&pf_rd_s=cart-page-widgets&pf_rd_t=40701&psc=1&refRID=68XXPT40VX2J81RXVXJP Not sure which one I should get. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockyTop Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 I would get something with a quick release. (Old bicycle pump style) The screw on type let too much air out when removing. I Was losing 10 psi in the time it takes to remove the screw on type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dingfelder Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Marty used and highly recommended one some time ago, and I know at least one other was discussed and recommended on a thread here. I think this might have been the one Marty liked: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005X7I44O/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_7?smid=A19NVE4G6SOT2C&psc=1 and I think this also was recommended: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B019FIERRO/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_9?smid=AE7V57N13BHCT&psc=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the best money I've spent in awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SanDiegoGuy Posted October 16, 2018 Author Share Posted October 16, 2018 The Fineed Hand-Held Pump Portable Air Compressor has a pretty bad review on Amazon, especially the recent reviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the screw-on type, you need a high-quality model. They have a one-way valve adjacent to the threads. So you essentially lose no air while connecting or disconnecting. At home I use a large compressor, but when I'm on the road I always carry this ultra-portable hand pump that requires no batteries. I've used it many times as have others on our group rides: http://amzn.to/2DwS2qz This model loses no air while disconnecting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno, mine has been excellent so far after a couple of months. The bad reviews seem to be related to the longevity of the internal battery. When/if mine gets to that point, I'll probably rip into it and DIY in a replacement battery. (plus, like all lithium battery devices, if they're selling NOS, new old stock that's been sitting around for awhile, the battery can be degraded) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shemp Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 I use a Slime branded one. It was cheap, it's small, and works well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought the combined gauge version of this one; it has just one drawback but that is a huge drawback. It takes 6 pumps for 1psi on a 16 incher. It's about 5 pumps for each psi on a 700cc28 bicycle tire. Therefore I would consider this a super emergency pump, and it's likely you'll pump it just enough to get you home or pay 20 bucks for that smelly drunk bum to pump it for you.

LanghamP Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 I bought two of the electric pump and promptly lost both chargers duringy move to Alabama. As a replacement, I bought this.

Yup... and one of those bad reviews is mine. Couldn't be more disappointed. Thing crapped out two days past Amazon's return date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HermanTheGerman Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Recently I tried to use this one, which I have already in my car for other purposes: http://bauergroup.com/en/products/breathing-air-sports/profi-line-ii-140-320-lmin/mariner-320-320-lmin/ Unfortunately I wasn't cautious enough, and my (former) flat tube just exploded.

See6 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 I use a compressor at home. But, I have another mounted into my trucks engine bay. I use the ARB for mtn biking and 4 wheeling (airing up) and just today for the my wheel. ARB https://www.amazon.com/ARB-CKMA12-Compressor-Output-Board/dp/B009F49NP0 Also... https://www.excelsports.com/main.asp?page=8&description=Air+Chuck+Elite+Inflator&vendorCode=INNOVAT&major=12&minor=1 I keep one of these and a couple 16g CO2's in all my road bike bags with spare tubes and 20g CO2's with a 2 oz bottle of Stans in the mountain bike. I have not used yet for EUC wheeling. But, they are great for cycling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LanghamP Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 I'm considering simply an airless tire. These get around 6000 miles on a bicycle... probably more like 8000 on an EUC since my experience seems that EUCs are quite gentle on tires (skidding isn't normal). https://tannusamerica.com/pages/tannus-tires Unfortunately the 16 only comes in 1.25 instead of the 1.75-2.25 we like.

Circuitmage Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 I use a Kobalt portable air pump from Lowes. They are cheap but seem to last about 1-2 years. Last night I just noticed my last one is starting to cut off...not sure if it's dead or not. Have not taken these apart to try and fix yet...might do that.

who_the Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Love my portable battery-powered pump, but I'm on my second. The first one stopped charging after a couple of months. So far second one is going strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
