Air Chuck

Some have mentioned that they have a problem when adding air to tires on the bikes. The proper air chuck will make this much easier and are cheap to purchase , usually only a couple of dollars and can be found at most auto parts stores or online.

Thats the one I've been using for years. The quick way to check pressure or add air is to put the bike up on a center lift. It only takes a few minutes to put the lift under the bike, about the same amount of time it takes me to check the air in my truck.

Brass airchuck can be had at Big Lots or other discount retailers for 99 cents, certainly worthy of a place in your tool box or as JK says in your pocket...can't imagine it being the segway for saving damsels in distress, but ya never know what a good sumaritan he may be.

Harbor Freight is also a good place to buy one cheap.
