• Tried the garden sprayer method before shelling out £50 for a compressor. It has done the trick perfectly on a tyre that would go nowhere near the outside of the rim with a track pump alone and all for a fiver.

    Also given gorilla tape a whirl rather than paying a score for Stans tape.

    Will take it out for a ride this afternoon to see if it all was too good to be true!

  • I tried the garden sprayer method.. didn't work.. I have a small Lidl compressor.. It prob has a 1litre tank.. it's mains powered and fine for paddling pools and the like.. I got a broken compressor off a friend and basically used it as a 25L air store and used the small compressor to pressurise it to 110PSI.. Got my tyres to inflate first time last night..

  • I rarely struggle getting tyres to inflate. Mind you, a 150l 160psi compressor does normally make life a lot easier. It still struggled with poxy Bontrager MTB tyres on Bontrager rims though.
