I got a small compressor from Harbor Freight.&nbsp\\; Metal w/hose &amp\\; guage comes in a nylon case for $19.95. Plug kit w/ reamer and glue from NAPA.&nbsp\\; Plug kit fits in the case.&nbsp\\; If you have it, you'll never need it.&nbsp\\; If you don't....?

SLIME makes some nice compact compressors.

A compressor is the way to go. One bad move w/co2 you lost valuable air!

You don't get many chances to get it right with Co2.

I bought the CO2 inflator, but carry the slime compressor. It takes up a little more room, but you can air up your tire without having to worry if you have enough cartridges. Plus, you would think you could get replacement cartridges at Walmart, but everyone I've been to didn't have the correct ones. I wound up getting them at Office Depot. They keep them under lock and key....
