The Prestaflator is a really neat addition to your home bike shop. It is an attachment for an air compressor for use on bike (and even car) tires. <\/p>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

It uses a Silca pump style pump head, that threads on to the handle. And there is an available schraeder style head too.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

The gauge is easy to read and has a large rubber bumper around it, to keep from cracking the glass if you happen to drop it.  <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

It is rated up to 150psi.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

When inflating presta tubes just keep in mind you can put pressure in, but you cannot use it to bleed pressure out. There is a pressure release valve on the handle that is used for release air from the Prestaflator, not the tube.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

It is great for use when you are swapping out tires, or putting on tubeless tires. I don’t use it every day, but I have had it for almost 2 years and it has grown on me. I check the gauge against an external gauge I have and it is spot on. <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

The only drawback is that you have to turn on your compressor, I have a little Husky Air Scout that I use it with. That thing is LOUD, so I rarely power it up to just top off my mountain bike tires. But when I am changing a flat or swapping out my studded mountain bike tire it is nice. For $39 it sure makes your air compressor more useful, since I only used it on my car tires before. For a well made tool like this that is an amazing deal. <\/p>\n
