[Closed] PSA - LIDL compressors

Yeah Im always reaching for the compressor to blow my tyres up...

You would be if running tubeless, I use mine all the time.

I use mine loads for general workshop use blowing shit out and cleaning etc.

I used mine loads over the last week doing 5 tubeless tyres! (well UST and non-UST setups)

I thought that, but then a SKS track pump is in the same ballpark of money. and this will be less effort.

and......

I could probably do without a second rim strip if I could inflate the tyres faster, saving ~30g/wheel so thats about £1/gram saved, which seems to be the point most people give up saving weight.

and.....

Compressed air is usefull for loads of things, like cleaning, powering tools, spraying etc. Although that compressor will struggle to run more than an airbrushing spray gun rather than a full on car spraying kit.

I use one for my tyres - really handy for tubeless.

As for blowing things up, you use a Pressure gauge hand release for it...

really mine was about £10 from Decathlon and has been going for years so far.

I stand correct though on pumping tyres up, Im still back in the good old days using tubes

I got one last time, great for drying chains etc after washing prior to a lube-fest and I look forward to changing tyres. Bloody noisy though.

And you can do car tyres with it.

Its only a PSA dudes -[b] don't [/b]have to buy one 🙂

You see, when I posted a similar PSA a few hours ago for the same thing, I never got flamed 🙂

"Bloody noisy though"

Yep. I bought a compressor a few years ago and used it about twice just for the novelty before getting fed up with the deafening racket it made.

Did I do somink wrong then - I just posted it - perhaps the picture inflamed it 😉

*possibly not worth every penny, and the lidle compressor won't do 250psi
