HomerPlata Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Be interested to hear if this is any good - and whether or not it would fit comfortably under the seat on a CBR 600. Nice one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raesewell Posted April 12, 2018 Author Share Posted April 12, 2018 I'll report back when it's charged as for whether it will fit under your seat or not I cannot comment. I have a small tailpack that houses the compressor and some tools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Off the ebay linkProduct size: 45mm * 55mm * 198mmMake something out of cardboard the same size and try it under the seat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerontious Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 I would want one of them examined.. on the inside to ensure that its safe to be transported under a bike seat fully charged subject to that level of vibration. The factory that makes them is fairly reputable (and modern) as chinese factories go... but I would want at least some reassurance. bearing in mind they knock them out at a rate of knots. looks like they produce an infinity of types at 1,000 per day. (The website gives 370 results) And where rechargeable li-ion batteries are concerned.. a lot hangs on quality control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raesewell Posted April 12, 2018 Author Share Posted April 12, 2018 OK folks I have just given it a trial run. I totally deflated my rear tyre set the unit to 42psi and set it running, it took 9 minutes 10 seconds to fully inflate the tyre. It shut off when it reached the preset pressure. I checked the pressure with a calibrated PCL digital inflater and it was bang on 42psi the PCL measures tenths so I was pleasantly surprised with the accuracy. Although the air going in was warming up as we went on, so that would affect pressure and I will check it again later but it would certainly get you out of a fix. It didn't get overly hot in operation, the air tube was warm to the touch but not burning hot as some can be.So it gets a big thumbs up from me.

Nice one, I think I'm tempted to invest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raesewell Posted April 12, 2018 Author Share Posted April 12, 2018 I am performing further tests. I'll get back to you.Edit: I have just performed a further test after the first rear tyre inflation and deflated it again and this time the battery gave out at 10psiBut I am happy at that, if it can inflate one tyre from flat that'll do for me.It was £33.99 and that was one of the cheapest on Ebay there are more expensive ones, I don't know if the more expensive ones have a more powerful battery.

Stu Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 [mention]raesewell[/mention] have you had to use this in the time you have had it? if so how is it holding up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raesewell Posted August 20, 2018 Author Share Posted August 20, 2018 I shelved it in favour of an Air Man compressor. It works but it will only pump up one back tyre with a bit left. I had it plugged in permanently under the seat, when a mate got a puncture I found the charging plug had come out so it was flat. I cured that by using some blue tak to secure it. I then thought the whole thing through again and went for the Air Man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
