    Teeny-weeny yellow-polka-dot...compressor.

    So, I like riding about, and I generally have all the tools I need to stay on the road.
    I keep stuff like an emergency poncho, baseball cap, stuffable backpack, etc in a little sing-sided swingarm sidebag.



    Because it's little, I needed a small inflator in case I got a flat on the road. I found the AeroStitch mini compressor, claimed to be the smallest in the world, but for $53 + shipping...

    I went to Harbor Freight, picked up their cheap yellow inflator for $10, bought a carabiner ($0.99), and took the shell off the compressor.

    Whaddya know, same as the aerostitch, but this even has a pressure gauge too! Compressor gets hot while it runs, hence the carabiner. Stuff the whole thing in a sandwich bag to keep it relatively waterproof.

    Save money, get the job done, and have fun.



    p.s. my apologies in retrospect about the title. It's friday, fuhgeddaboudit.
