    That made me laugh....thank you!
    At least stroking up and down produces a positive outcome vs a receptacle that costs money down the line.

    Road-Kill, are you honestly saying that your bicycle pump and your CO2 canisters are infallible and can not break down? I have had a Slime compressor, running off my battery, which is “complicated” under your reasoning, for 8 years, and it has not broken down despite the 100% failure rate you claim above. Conversely, I had a bicycle pump that I used for my air bag and it broke after 2 years of use. That’s a real life experience at odds with your theory.

    I can test my bike pump daily or hourly.
    I cant test my CO2 canisters but at least I have a higher percent of getting air then you do.

    really, that is the most lame excuse I've heard for telling someone not to buy a 12 volt electric pump. At least with the 12 volt pump all you have to do is hook it on the valve stem, turn it on and watch the gauge.

    Default Different strokes for different folks

    Always interested in learning more... found this demo on using 16 gram CO2 cartridges to inflate a low profile narrow tire similar to what I believe will be on the new Ryker 16 inch fronts. Seems to take about 6 cartridges at about a buck a piece to inflate, but I guess a backup is always good. The bicycle pump might help a bit.

    Thanks again to those of you that offered up some great options. I will be looking into all of them. Greatly appreciate the positive remarks. Seems there is one person on this thread that would prefer to drag this topic, and any other topic they respond too, down into a session of personal attacks, and just overall negativity! Can’t remember who that is though, I sure hope their life gets better soon so they can smile again and get on with the process of enjoying life! If not maybe they will just leave!

    Again in thanks to all of you for the great ideas. I come to this “bored” to learn from the experience of others that have different experiences than I do. You folks are truly helpful.

    Default CO2

    I carry the CO2 cartriges and thier 'small packaging. They are always in the with the plug kit. Maybe after 10 years I'll get some new ones for a few cents.

    Thank G@d for the "Ignore" button. After ER ( easy rider ) left/got booted, I thought we all were done with this childishness.

    I thought this thread was just a good old fashioned conversation about road-side emergency air.
    I see nothing in this thread that wouldn't be said in person whether amongst friends or strangers.

    more like good old fashioned demeaning of someone for their differing opinion
    and the continued desire to start an argument
    now, where is that "ignore" button Lew L was talking about?

    BRP offers roadside up to $200.00 and I'm told that includes flat tires.
    I also have AAA RV Plus
    That includes 3 yearly roadside calls with (if necessary) towing up to one 200 mile tow and two 100 mile tows.

    Children please calm down.
    Milk and cookies are in the cupboard.
    Remember, you are only reading and not hearing the voice so you at best guessing the tone.
    But please feel free to hit that ignore button as that is its purpose.

    If I bought a failed system and told people I wanted the same thing again....yup, that would make me thick.
    Yes that was my intent.
    KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid)
    I tell everyone to KISS complicated things.....and nobody was ever insulted.
    YOU posted your electric pump failed after just two years.
    If I didn't care I would have said just buy another one or not have posted a response.
    That is my advice.....don't be thick.
    You're no alone because there are lots of people who do the same thing over and over yet expect a different outcome.


    Please put me on block.....PLEASE

    I quit getting good ideas from this thread a day or two ago. I keep checking back to see if anything else useful comes up, but ...... Let this thread die an ugly death and move on. I will not be back for sure.

    I suggest you look up these on Amazon and check out the reviews.
    They get on average 5-33% one star reviews because they have such an extreme failure rate.
    Don't take my word for it.
    Take the HUNDREDS and sometimes THOUSANDS of people who just like yourself wanted a gizmo rather then a hand pump.
