Morning All

I am considering a small air compressor for bike related duties in the garage. What are you using in yours and does anyone have any good tips/advice.

Cheers

Ed

If it's just for tyres.... http://www.singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/ghetto-tubeless-inflator-total-cost-9p

If you want to run tools off it then get as big a resisvoir as you can.

I bought a compressor witha 50 litre reservoir from Netto 2 years ago. Been absolutely brill. Car tyres,bike tyres ,removing brake pistons blowing hoover filters out it gets used for all sorts. Best of all it was only £80.

Lidl and aldi, sell a reasonable one intermittently, though the last lot of Aldi one were still hanging around reduced, a while after they came out (they used to fly out - they may have saturated the market), so maybe have a wander round your local aldi's.
