Dear learned UKGSer people,
I’m after (again) another pump / compressor for use in the garage simply to pump up motorbike tyres.
I’ve had a few Halfords foot pumps in the past and another by someone else who’s name escapes me.
Tried a hand held air compressor from Draper, model not known, that came free with a magazine subscription.
The Draper lasted less than five minutes and the others lasted a while but not that long.
Any long term options / ideas appreciated.
I could go for the Airman or the Desert Fox that both got recommendations on this site recently.
I’m unsure if these would take weekly / fortnightly use for several bikes.
I know they need to “rest” every five minutes or so and they can double up to take with me when I’m on my way to Waitrose.
We’re quite posh here and ride right past Tesco’s to get to Waitrose.
I digress.
I’m unsure also how noisy they are and would prefer something quiet(ish).
I could go for a vintage type foot pump although they seem to command good prices nowadays and I’m not the best at mechanical problems
so repairing them may be a stretch for me if they break.
They do look good though.
A Stirrup pump is not an option for me because of an injury.
I could go for a more expensive mains connected compressor but no idea really what would be a good make and model to get.
All suggestions appreciated.
Thank you.
