quite fast top up 4 tyres including unpacking/packing. overall still save time as the nearby petrol station always quite well patronised.

Mine is always unpacked.

Yah, overall still a lot faster. My place nearby petrol stations, the air pumps always got queue when I arrive. Sometimes got cars behind me, pump air also feel like a crime if not done quick enough and FO.  

Own pump just plug and pump, and while waiting can check check tyre and remove stones trap in the treads also.

Normal air is already 78% nitrogen 🤪

Is it just me, but the above posts seems like taken from some forums @Jamesc @Mustank @Fcw75 @Inlinefour like to visit...

Back to the topic, can you all share the type of pump you are using? I am now no longer on RFT (after almost 6 years of not having to worry about flat tyre), so giving it a serious consideration since I like to travel up North.

Try searching online for portable pump but there are simply too much choices, and I reckon actual user feedback would still be the best. TIA.

With regular driving and proper care. Unless you suay suay kena something. If not tyres just go service time do can liao. Even my current condition, not much time I go to pump air

Yep, I go SBF often.

Singapore Bike Forum right? 😆

I have Baseus and Xiaomi, both are fine.

But you will also need a tyre repair kit.

I use 2 types. A cheapie taobao one and a viair one from Amazon. 
mod course there is difference. Ultimately it is for emergency use. And the bugger better work. Viair for the win.didn’t want one which connects to the cig lighter in case the fuse blows. Direct batt connection is the best.

Thanks for the replies. I just loot this (as an interim), since the price is too good to be missed. @Fcw75 you using this same model?

@Mkl22 that Viair unit you recommended seems very solid, but it is very bulky in actual and how long it will take to top up say about 2 - 3 bar, or a flat tyre?

This type ez to use.  But lack of power.  It will heat up easier.

Slime Flat Tyre Repair Kit.

For slime, it is available locally.  It uses tyre sealant which requires replacement every few years.

@Carbon82

my portable pump is a Xiaomi which I bought from Shopee. Used 2 years already. less than $40 during flash sale.

portable air pumps have batteries inside so it was only Xiaomi or Baseus for me. no other funny China brands.

oh so just insert the sealant into the regular valve as a stop gap measure to the tyre shop? But after that how to flush out the slime?

[Atonchia]

As long as not pump methane or hydrogen will be safe.

 

But the specific gravity of nitrogen and standard air is different.

How do you compensate if you use the same pressure?

You see same pressure, different specific gravity = likely different volume. 

Will you get a harder tyre when using pure nitrogen to pump the tyres? 

Say 35 psi for for nitrogen comparing with air? 

How about using Carbon Dioxide?

Which is much denser with larger molecules. Wouldn't using Carbon dioxide prevent leakage?
