Hello People,
Here we go again, So far, I've changed my tires ( michelin
T-66's ) and the battery - Westco ( Thankyou again Phil ) based on
the
advice/information from here. This time it's about the air
compressor.
Is there a good, sturdy, light weight compact brand available for
taking along. This is for a journey later this year which
was being planned. I'd be in North Africa heading for the far east.
The cheap 'made in china' brands at the local super market looked
a bit flimsy as far as durability goes.
Thank you,
Brar

Are you talking about air compressors? If so, try taking a simple
bicycle hand pump along. I use a good quality double action one
(pumps air on both strokes) and it inflates very well. It'd take a
few minutes to pump up a completely flat rear tire, but it works well
and is as reliable as a pump can be. Lighter and packs smaller too.
FWIW
