Air compressor

No, don't have need for tender since bike in carport, no power outlet. Wouldn't anyway as I did for years and would rather just get new battery a little sooner. Easier!
Also don't like the screw on connector to stem valve. Shhhhhhhhhh and then silence. Take it off.shhhhhhhhhhhhh.
I like the lever type.
Thank you man!

Nice of you to offer it. I will just get one local, even if an adapter is needed. Those hella plugs on compressors apparently all come from UK.
 
I got an adapter, and this one fof $35 shipped..

I use a Black&Decker ASI 500 - it's battery driven, so I do not care for the connector...

For HOME use I bought a small compressor with a tank. It will happily fill a couple of car tyres. Plug it in inside, fill the tank - unplug, wheel it out and Bob's your uncle. Was on sale at the local equivalent of Home Depot. As a plus you'll have air for all sorts of other stuff. I do have power in the carport and garage, but it's useful as hell to have a tank.
 
In fact, I wasn't that sure either.

But at the end that is mostly the smallest problem:

- as we have several cars, motorcycles and bicycles, it is used quite often - we use it as a measuring device, too
- it has a battery level indicator
- the battery is interchangeable

And the most important point: our neighbours found out that I have this device - actually all of them love me even more than before...

Oh, and it always carries the cable to connect it directly to the cigarette lighter in the car, if it really runs out of power...
 
Sounds like a dream compressor!
 
Just bought one of these rechargable ones from ebay. Good quality but will need panniers or backpack to carry it

I had one like this and they are quite large - I recently found one on Amazon UK which is very similar in design but just over half the size.
