Is refilling the oil a problem? The smaller one claims to be oil free.

The screwfix one I have is also oil free, so no hassles refilling oil.

I know pretty much nothing about compressors, but i think the oil / oil free thing is more an issue if you’re spray painting with it as the oil needs to be filtered from the air before the spray gun if its an oiled compressor.

(but I wouldn’t listen to me).

Just ordered the larger one and some PTFE tape.

Also managed to order a tool chest and a stool for the garage. At least I have somewhere to sit and drink my tea now!

Anyone who buys a compressor to inflate a bike tyre has both too much money and too much “Can’t be arsed” attitude.

£100 or 9p for the Ghetto inflator which works every single time? I have never known anyone to try the Ghetto method and decide it wasn’t good enough. It has even inflated non tubeless tyres on non tubeless rims for me.

I’d love a compressor for the instant inflation factor, but after finding that the ghetto inflator works every single time for the price of an inner tube I really would struggle to justify it.

I dont only inflate bike tyres with mine. I also use it to squirt compressed air at my neighbours cats.

Will it work on a 650B cat? Or should I not take any chances and buy the 100L model?

Prestaflator is available in the UK for £33?

Have you got a link?

On mobile…but try nextdaytyres.co.uk

Cheers. I’ll get one of those at some point as well.

CuriousYellow im guessing that you dont know that you’re not supposed to use tyre levers on tubeless rims as you can damage the bead and then they’ll never inflate?

I’m pretty much inept at anything mildly technical and I recently attempted the tubeless conversion. Glad to say it was very easy. All I used was a cheap track pump from lidl – currently on sale at £5 (including a 3 year guarantee!) and a bucket of soapy water. Inflated my tyres to 35psi first time no sweat. If you’re on a budget give it a try.

i have one of those cheap 25lt .

I wouldnt get any smaller .

brilliant for tyres , dry bikes , car tyres , clean tumble dryer filter, hoover etc …

@haggis1978 did think that, but sometimes you get a tyre/rim combo that is so tight that all you can do is tape twice, lever it up and hope that shit seats. Try Arch EXes on 1.85 Rocket Rons, or 2.25 Nics on Rovals.

@cchris2lou dry bikes you say? Hmmm…

Waiting for the compressor to show up now. Will post a picture once it’s here and of all my monies.

Oh wait, just found some monies lying around cos I so rich. So this one is for barrykellett:
