Track pump?

Otherwise Aldi seems cheaper than micromart or whatever.

If this is for seating tyres tubeless, make yourself a coke bottle inflator. I didn't bother for ages, thinking that there was simply no way something so Heath Robinson could possibly work, but I was wrong - it is awesome!

+1 for the coke bottle inflater. Although I didn't have any suitable 10mm plumbing bits kicking around so I spend a few quid to complete the project. It works a treat btw. Basically you've got an air resevoir which is all the compressor really is.

Screwfix - Sumo 2hp / 20litre plus the Metablo 5 piece air tools kit. Works a treat.
