free air?

[columbusfzr]

The Shell @ the corner of Sawmill/Snouffer used to have free air, now it's 75 cents. I've had to start paying. I hate having to try to fill my tires in my truck because I'm afraid the compressor will kick off when im on my 3rd tire

Sorry guys, I'm going to bust some balls here....some of you are relying on a gas station for air???

There's few tools you need to carry more on a bike than a tire repair kit and something to refill tires. A slime mini-compressor will fit under your seat or in a tank bag, tire repair kits are tiny.

You're very likely to need one if you really ride, not only for filling your tires but the inevitable tire mishap.

$30 worth of stuff from Autozone and this is a non issue and one less thing to worry about if you're away from civilization....and that's where all the fun riding is, no? You can buy a small $10 compressor from Walmart or Harbor Freight and strip the case off, if the $30 Slime unit breaks your wallet.

And, while I'm at it a decent pancake or small tank compressor is immensely handy around the house or shop....I don't think I work on the bike or the truck ever, without using one...

Just sayin

ETA, Buildit beat me to it, but I know he's an ADV guy so he knows about blowing tires too.

Can you rephrase that? Maybe patching tires, replacing tubes, or knows how to use his gear. Blowing tires sounds so........
