Air compressors? Which one of these 2?

Thing I need it for right now is seating/inflating a tubeless motorcycle tyre – 4″ trials tyre. Could also get into tooblessing the mountain bikes, air cleaning the bikes and whatever else I find it can do for me. DIY around the house, work on the car, m/c.

Both of these are the same price (and cheaper than the Bontrager Flash Charger – lol), so the heftier one would seem to be the better option, but if the 6 litre one does what I want it to, it being quieter and smaller will be appreciated – garage space is limited.

I’d imagine 6 litres at 8 bar is plenty to get a m/c tyre up and seated?

Then there’s duty: continuous v intermittent. ??

Cheers for any help!

Top one with a larger tank for sure. The smaller tank will be gone in no time and the motor can’t keep up with keeping the tank pressure high. When using it dry your chain after washing for example, the larger tank makes a big difference.

Cheers goyb, I thought that might be the case!

Next up – what air tool for presta and schrader tyre inflation?

Unless you desperately need the space, go for the one with the larger tank. I’ve got a 6 litre one because I don’t have much room to store it and all i’m doing is seating mtb tyres. The larger one will be a lot more versatile and will go a lot further for motorcycle tyres.

That’s what you want.

Dammit. That is what I want!

I’ve just ordered a topeak super chuck instead. pfff…
