tired of using up c02 canisters. Need a air compressor - any recommends? And what adapters will I need for the presta valves?
STW help much appreciated as always
..wait until Aldi/Lidl get their next batch in (sign up for the new letters).
Adapter:

Sold in lot of places, even halfords.
Track pump?
Otherwise Aldi seems cheaper than micromart or whatever.
If this is for seating tyres tubeless, make yourself a coke bottle inflator. I didn't bother for ages, thinking that there was simply no way something so Heath Robinson could possibly work, but I was wrong - it is awesome!

+1 for the coke bottle inflater. Although I didn't have any suitable 10mm plumbing bits kicking around so I spend a few quid to complete the project. It works a treat btw. Basically you've got an air resevoir which is all the compressor really is.
Coke bottle inflator coming up this weekend. Cant lose anything trying it out (except an eye I guess). if it doesnt work then the air compressor will be on teh shopping list
Screwfix - Sumo 2hp / 20litre plus the Metablo 5 piece air tools kit. Works a treat.
