Could I do this safely?

My friend has a slight flat and they only require 35PSI.

    That reminds me - my old man was well annoyed when I left home and took my track pump with me. I hadn't realised that he used it weekly on his m/bike and car! Must get him one.

    I use my Rennkompressor to pump my motorbike tyres. No reason why not, 35 psi is 35 psi, you just need to do alot of pumping if the pressure is well down!

    i used to have a wee italjet scooter and crappy air machine at the garage let out as much as it put in half the time ... old track pump done the job in less then 2 minutes ... car tyre is a bit bigger but as a quick fix ...

    Yes, I do it all the time. It works much better than the air at the service station actually...

    Works a damn sight better than those stupid foot pumps.

    I use mine on our expantion tank here at home to up the water pressure whenever the shower starts to dribble, saves a £30 callout fee. 8)

    Why don't people ignore threads that don't interest them?
