Happyman108 Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Get a electric airpump from homepro or tesco etc, fix a Coocase topcase with remote/alarm on your motorbike which come with car charger plug........especially useful if on touring trip withour fear of flat tire. https://www.facebook.com/coocasethailand/photos/t.100004998243931/416613041775182/?type=3&theater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mesquite Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Instead of buying air pumps (a good idea, I know), why can't we just buy high quality inner tubes that don't leak? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damole Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Amorn by Computer Plaza has a selection of pressure gauges. I bought one yesterday for 165 Bt that has an adjustable end so is easy to read the gauge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fakser Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I carry an air pressure gauge (100 THB) and a small air pump (200 THB). The one that you position vertically on the floor and pump with both hands, downwards. 10 strokes once a week will do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
featography Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Buy a high volume bicycle pump(~500 baht) and invest 10 minutes to learn how to use the nozzle etc. Next week or month the nozzle isn't going to change. You can take your time in your own garage or carport. No burning sun. No people behind you. Get the pressure correct. A lot of these stupid accidents that have vaulted Thailand up to the second most fatal country to drive in are caused by improper tire pressure. It hurts the gas mileage, wears out the tires, and makes loss of control much more likely. http://roadskillmap.com/ I see SUV and truck drivers all the time one handing the wheel while talking on the phone and one or more tires are nowhere near the right pressure. If you walk out and find a flat that is not able to be driven often times pumping it up will give you enough pressure to drive to a service station and save the hassle and cost of getting a mechanic to visit. And the big plus is you will not be endangering yourself or others by driving a bike with a really low tire. If your too feeble to actually pump for a minute then pay your neighbor kid or security guard 10 baht to pump it. If you have a bigger budget and no arm strength then buy a little air compressor like this. http://www.walmart.com/ip/Wagan-Corp.-Quick-Flow-3-in-1-Air-Compress/14667801 works well IF you have a car to plug it into Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
