May 7, 2012 at 20:55 comment added Stephen Touset I would recommend against using a gas station air compressor. They're designed for high volume and low pressure as opposed to the low volumes and high pressure of typical bike tires. If the compressor even can reach high enough pressures, it would likely do so very quickly risking a blowout.

Nov 15, 2011 at 21:05 comment added Brian Knoblauch I'm an ex-air compressor user. Too noisy, too expensive, and require too much maintenance compared to a simple floor pump. I even top off my car tires with the floor pump now (it's a really nice one, moves a lot of air).

Nov 14, 2011 at 12:13 comment added Daniel R Hicks I'd say that, for high-pressure tires, inflating once a week would be almost too rarely -- I'd suggest twice a week with normal tubes.
