I was at a triathlon last weekend started to air up my racing wheels with my 30 year old pump and it just stopped at a 100 psi. I needed 180 and the pump tops out at 225 psi or so. I was in a hurry and decide to just use my training wheels and it wouldn't pump them up either. I asked a fellow competitor who was running late if I could borrow his, he said no problem. It took like 4 strokes I was at 100 psi. I was like I guess I need to upgrade. He had a summit floor pump. I was impressed.
Back in 89 or so when Greg Lemond was making his comeback, ABC did a story on him and it showed him in his garage airing up his bike using a compressor.
If you have the c3 lithium batteries from another tool, you could use a coupon from the Sears club and get the portable inflator for about $30 dollars ish. I replaced the short hose with a longer hose and added a better presta head. The inflator has a digital gauge with an adjustable limit. I really wish shops offered this as an accessory. European race teams already use this in the Bosch version. It compliments my cordless drill as a favorite tool.
