Stompump?
« on: February 20, 2020, 09:43:55 AM »
I'm wondering if anyone's seen this new pump IRL. I like the concept but I'm wondering if it pushes enough air for moto tires.

just looking at it seems pretty small.  I'm sure it could pump up a MC tire but would take forever. I have a Slime mini compressor, hopefully I don't have a flat and dead battery at the same time.

If you have the room, the Air Hawk works very well and has it's own battery.

I bought one of these, if you remove all the extraneous leads there is room for tyre plugs and glue. You set the required pressure and it will turn itself off when that pressure is reached. I've tried it pumping up tyres from dead flat and it did it with no problems. It's mainly used for pumping up air mattresses when camping.

I've found the CyclePump to be very reliable and now has a lifetime guarantee.  I've done two motorcycle and one car road repair with it and the Stop & Go tire plugger kit.

I started this thread because I have a pricey battery-powered pump (forget the brand) that works well but has always made me nervous about running down my battery (and then welding my starter relay shut).

The pump works fine but the built-in pressure gauge has flaked out. It's annoying to think about having to carry a gauge and the pump, and switching between the two. So that got me wondering about alternatives.

The BMW pump has a built-in gauge, which I like. The Stompump has a bicycle frame bracket that could be attached to a case (inside or out) -- I like that.

Anyway it's going to be 18 degrees F tonight so I have some time to think about it. Thanks for everyone's input.
