What kind of portable air compressor do you use. My Pep Boys mini is on it's last leg. "Slime" makes a couple of models. Anybody have experience with the Slime or any others that you can recommend? Harbor Freight?
thanks
yea I have the little one made by slime , since I don't have a lighter I cut off the end that plugs into a lighter and put 2 small alligator clips on it . that little thing works like a champ. it's called the tire top off
The only time I ever had a plug fail, I was riding on the Blue Ridge Parkway. With a relatively sudden loss of air in the back, I pulled into an overlook. As I was inspecting my rapidly deflating tire, the nicest people in the world (from Poplar Bluff, MO) pulled in within minutes, driving an SUV, and asked if they could help me. They carried me to a Walmart that was probably 10 miles away, waited while I bought a Slime pump and a plug kit, and carried me BACK to my bike.
This is the pump I bought. It worked fine. Not super fast, but it pumped up a 16 inch tire from nothing to 40 psig, which is all I could ask for.
I bought the heavy duty one from harbor freight for my Jeep when running on and off the beach and I have used it to help out other bikers and it works great.
