A decent air pump and tyre plugging kit is essential if you like your days out or commute. A puncture can seriously ruin your day, whereas with that set up you’re on your way inside half an hour usually. Be interested to see what one you went for.
Mine’s the Airman Tour. Been pressed into service three times in the last two and a half years and has been as good as gold.
Yep, not only did i also purchase a brand new plugging kit to keep in the top box, but it is the AIRMAN TOUR pump i bought.
Good to hear some more positive feedback before i even used it.
If anyone else is interested, beware that there is a slightly cheaper version, but that one doesn't come with the crocodile clip adapter cable that is needed to attach it to your battery.

Had a try of the new air pump yesterday.
What a lovely bit of useful kit that is. Everything about it was better than the previous one i tried.
The end of the pipe screws onto the valve, rather than faffing about with the push on lever type, it inflated the tyre very quickly with little effort, and the compact size of it means it packs away nice and tidily in the top box in a pouch that comes supplied with it. The pressure dial also matched my electronic pressure gauge as well, which you'd think would be standard, but it really isn't. I normally pump my tyres up at work and the readout on that one is different, so at least now i can have some sort of standard i can stick to with ease.
As i mentioned before, if you get one make sure you get the kit that has the crocodile clip adapter cable in it, as it is a special connector. It comes with a cigarette lighter adapter as well if you need it for your car tyres. (the one in the link above, i couldn't find it cheaper anywhere else)
After looking around for a while online for a pump i found that with most there were a lot of negative reviews when i looked more into them, it wasn't as straightforward as you'd imagine, even more so as my previous one had failed so miserably in every way which was somehow still being sold in a lot of places.
This one had all positive reviews though and now i can see why.
Gets the thumbs up from me.
