Right, I only use the Elite TDF air. It is bottled in Southern France. Down side is that it costs 30 bucks per fill!

No really I've never blown a tire with a big compressor but you do have to know what to look for. Like the tire comming off the rim, tube trapped between the wheel and tire, bubble, etc. I do a blast, then check that the tire is on the wheel correctly, then a few more blasts to fill.

The new 50 cents for 2 minute ones sound about the same as a Coleman 30-50 psi compressor. I hate those damn things. Free air was the best thing about gas stations. I mostly use the floor pumps these days.
