I’ve got an old one like this that I use with my compressor. It was hung around the farm unused for years as dad had a better one.

Served me well for the last 10 years since then.

Tyre inflator

Was about to say airshot, but I've just seen the price. The only minor annoyance is the bottom bulges slightly when pressurised so making it easier to fall over.

Cheapo car tyre jobbie and then retro fit a Topeak super chuck to it.

The Park INF-2 is excellent if you can find one 2nd hand. That's what I've got now but the car inflator + chuck solution worked well for me for a while.

Thanks,

Already have the compressor so just looking for the attachment Stu.

Hatter - Sounds like a plan, saw those Park ones, very nice but way too expensive for blowing a tire up! With the topeak adaptor do you just chop the line from something like the draper one that zerocool has linked and reattach with jubilee clip?

Exactly, really easy.

I used the Decathlon head for £4.99

Much better for car tyres too then the cheap rubbish the compressor came with.

Just as above here too - the standard tyre inflator and gauge attachment that is available everywhere:

Toolstation thirteen quid

Plus the rubber hose and head off an old track pump. Thus, it does the bikes, AND still does the car (Schraeder) too.

Really don't like the super chuck myself, I put a cheap bonty track pump end on mine but yep, same principle.

I've got one but can't find my manual for my compressor so can't remember how to set it - I need a lot of air to be dump into the tyre quickly...can't recall which way to screw the knobs on the compressor and I can't find it on the Aldi/Lidl website.
Has been faultless when doing my own tyres with a ToolStation pressure gauge and a track pump head that does both valve types via 2 separate holes - push chuck on valve and lift lever to lock on.
Works well but I reckon I need more volume and a wee bit more pressure as well - but absolutely no idea how to do that.

If I want to inflate Presta valves I just use a £2 brass schader to Presta adapter I bought on eBay or CRC.

I’ve got a standard Axminster (or similar) 50L compressor and it’s always been quick enough to seat any tubeless tyres
