Default Tire Inflator

Any suggestions on a good portable tire pump to keep in my saddlebag?

Not looking for electric but rather a hand/floor pump compact portable type.

I've been using this one for a couple of years.

It's small, about 5x6x2", packs easily, plugs into the tender pigtail and does a damn fine job. The built in light is handy and the 6' power cord gives you plenty of room to work.

I have something similar, but a no-name brand and use it for the bike and car.

For carrying on the bike these cannisters look good.

I carried something similar to this for years. Now I carry an electrical one. These use the little CO2 cartridges. Very compact, inexpensive and durable.

I have been carrying a 12V for about 10 years, under $10 at K-MART. never used it, but it is there. I kinda like the CO2 idea. How many to fill a tire to 38#?

I think it would all depend on how many holes the tire had in it????

Yeah,sometimes you have to pump like hell on a big hole.
Slime makes a mini compressor,about 5"x4"x2",in the case,been carrying it,but other than just topping off,haven't used it much. Hand pumps are bigger than any of the mini compressors,so not much point in carrying one.

We use the co2 cartridges for our dirt bikes when riding Baja. Was out in Glamis riding the dunes with friends when my buddies dune buggy lost air. I had one cartridge. Put it in and made it back to camp. They work well.

Not sure why you don't want an electric pump?
I can't imagine using a hand pump to pump up a tire to 40 psi.

I carry this compact kit in my saddlebag.
