Gentlemen, Gentlemen, Gentlemen, you're doing it wrong. Put one of these https://jacosuperiorproducts.com/col...tire-air-chuck

on this

Amazon Amazon

Those JACO chucks are the Snap On of tire inflation. The 360 degree swivel gets into where you need it and that chuck does NOT come off until you depress the lever. It is an open flow design so it needs to be on a trigger activated filler. Just putting it on an air chuck will free flow out. Last chuck you will ever buy.

Yep, I install them at the first tire change regardless of the bike.

Default bicycle pump

[QUOTE=mag11581;20030162]i bought and use this. makes it much easier than using a tire gauge and pump .


i also have a slime portable 12v compressor with the right angle chuck on it ( was a bitch to find ) but the all in one airchuck seems to be simpler to use . ( for me anyway )[/QUOTE

Get an inexpensive bike pump. Connects like this. 4 or 5 pumps, good to go.

Thanks for the tip! After reading the reviews, I ordered one. Well it arrived today, and I put it to the test. Bike, truck, cars, trailers, mower, blower, and a 1/2 dozen bicycles so far. I can honestly say it's the most versatile, and easiest locking chuck I have ever used. The downside, easy to use at home, on the road, not so much.
