I dunno, you blokes in the US get it easy— http://www.kathmandu.com.au/cycle-floor-...-blue.html

That is what I use and I have power in my garage. It only takes a few pumps to top the tires off.

+1. Bought a compressor and found that it's way easier to use a good bicycle pump like this one. Plus, a bike much more neighborly when filling tires per-dawn. I'm still going to purchase a portable electric pump for the road.

I bought this one.

Fits under the seat and can be powered directly from the battery.

That's the same one I carry around in my tail bag. I tested it in the garage once, but have not used it "for real" yet.

That's a way cool pump, Cormanus... I like it.

Now, tell me if you would, what exactly is a "bloke"?

QuietGuy, I think you would call a 'bloke' a 'guy'. I'm afraid I'm resolutely Antipodean.

I was joking with you, Cormanus... I know what a "bloke" is, my friend.

Sorry... didn't mean to throw you off kilter.
One acronym I don't know is; "MTC"

MTC are my initials and also shorthand for EmptySea

I see... Thank you, sir.

[Cormanus]

No worries, QG.

I use my permanently mounted Battery Tender lead and plug in the 12v female receptacle then plug in my air pump...
