tire pump - what kind ?

[subzero]

what type of tire pump do you carry with you.
need to find a high volumne - low pressure manual pump .. where ?

I carry a ten dollar Can tire special that plugs into my pod with a cig lighter adapter.

Yup me too, and if you don't have the power outlet on your quad just install alligator clips and hook direct to the battery. But if want to use a manual air pump the tire sells them too!!!! :d:d

I carry the tire kit from cdn tire that has c02 cartridges, I also carry the slime 12v air compressor. It's very compact and is recommended on lots of forums.

x3 on the can tire pump. also carry a few valve stems too! cant put any air in the tire if you knock off the valve stem in a hole! a rachet strap or tie down thrown in or on the rack as well. that way if you have to, use the tie strap to rap around the tire to get the beads started to seat. 12v tire pumps dont have the blast like a tire shop air line. and if worse comes to worse dig out the can of either and a match stick pop! ready to keep riding!

dont forget that you most likely will not be able to re inflate a tire with the weight of the machine resting on it. try to get the weight off by either stuffing wood or something under the corner of the flat tire. the cleaner the beads and inside the tire to better! other wise you might be stopping further down the trail doing the same thing while not enjoying the ride.

^^^^^^^^^^^Exackry!! I have all those goodies in my box too. You can pick it all up all Princess Auto. Valve stems are only a couple bucks each, don't forget the $2 valve stem puller, it's a b!tch to pull a stem through without one.

I just carry a cheap bike pump from Canadian tire or wal-mart. It takes up alot of room but alot faster than a 12v comp.

ya but who can hold and drink a beer while running a bike tire pump! lol

Cappy tire pump and patch and plug kit.

Use either first to seat the tire.
Hold beer watch this.

only $2 for a stem puller! wow will stop there next time in red deer. see every one we dont drink and drive. just go down the trail and get a flat and spend the rest of the day getting the tire seated again while drinking beer.

a guy at the campground bought a manuel version of a tire machine and was using it to change a set of tires one day. worked good to get the tire off the rim but not so good to break the bead! goes by the nick name philly. not to sure if he s on here.
