Air Pro Cordless Air Compressor

Whether you’re lookin’ to fix a flat tire or pump up a flat football, the AirPro Cordless Air Compressor is ideal because it’s both battery operated and handheld. Great for bikers or brawlers, it provides up to 120 PSi of pumping strength and connects via a 15 inch air hose with locking Schraeder connector.

What’s really beneficial, is that the AirPro comes with two super bright LED work lights built into it so that if you’re stuck on the interstate at night you can not only see what you’re doing, but the lights will help you hunt down any foreign objects which may be sticking out of your tire. In the handle is an easy to read pressure dial and the top contains a hidden compartment for placing a variety of nozzle adapters including a ball needle.

Bicycle Into The Fall, Even Winter, Expert Says

Written by | Saturday, 24 September 2011

“Most tires need to be at 60 PSI, but they can still feel hard at 40 PSI. While it can tell you if the tire is desperately low on air, it may not be apparent if the tire is low enough to hinder performance or risk malfunctioning. “No one can tell if the PSI (pound per square inch) is low by feeling it,” he said. The better tire pumps will have a tire gauge attached. Riding your bike with low air pressure can result in a pinch flat, where slack in the tube allows it to rub against or under the wheel, resulting in a flat. “Make sure your tire pressure is correct,” Barker said. According to Barker, feeling the tire by hand to confirm that there is adequate air is not the best method. Barber also said to make sure you protect your bike from the elements.
