Will this compressor fill my high-pressure road bicycle tires to 100+psi without blowing them out?

I bought it to carry in my RV. These tires take 100lbs and the compressor does the job nicely. It's compact shape works well for the space I have. I purchased the 50' hose along with it and it reaches everything I need to reach from its perch in the basement of the RV. No complaints.

It should.It has a regulator that you can set so it will not exceed whatever you set it on..

Any compressor can blow out any tire IF the regulator is not adjusted to the correct setting! The regulator works fine on the one I bought.

I use my compressor to fill my bicycle and car tire w/o problems. Make sure you set the pressure with the dedicated gauge/knob to the desired/limit pressure of what you are inflating. This compressor is a great buy for the money.

It should work fine for that. And while you could set the regulator down to the pressure you want in your tire, you would better off leaving the regulator at full pressure and using a manual triggered tire inflater (with pressure gauge) at the end of your air hose. Tire inflaters like this often have built-in air bleeder buttons too, allowing you to instantly release excess pressure if you pump in too much.

The pressure gauge used to both read the pressure, and set the maximum pressure, has a max setting of 150psi. The trip needle would probably make it cut out at 148ish. So in theory it should be capable of this pressure. FYI the compressor is fairly slow. I used it on a tire with 20 psi, it took about 3 minutes to fill it to 35 psi.

For changing car tires or the like this compressor should handle it just fine. You can easily get 120 lbs of pressure out of it, but don't expect 150. You may have to wait for the pressure to build up again before you can go from bolt to bolt, but this is a home or light carpenter use compressor.

Any air compressor that will provide 100 PSI will work. The Porter Cable 'paddy pan' compressors, commonly carried in Home Depot & other big box stores are portable & reasonably priced.

I'm sure it would handle it as good as any bike pump can. I use mine with mountain bike tires @ 65 psi, which have a higher volume than the road bike to fill, so it should handle it well even at the higher psi. What makes this pump so nice is the ergonomics of it. You can easily position the pump to maximize your own strength, and as efficiently as possible then fill the tire with a good pressure gauge read out to follow.

I doubt it, it's just a compressor for pumping air into tires. But I don't know for sure, I would try emailing the seller.

My compressor has two gauges. One is for tank pressure and one is for output pressure. They both need to be above 30 psi. However, I usually set both of mine so they are about 70 psi so I can fill up my bike tires. The higher the output pressure, the faster the tire fills.

Yes will work because I am useing it with ARB compressor with 150 psi of pressure

Michael.This compressor was not designed for this job. The volume it produces is far too small to do a tire in a reasonable amount of time. ARB offers a tire inflation kit (part #171302) that can be fitted to any of the larger compressors such as the CKMA12. However, even that model is slow. Expect a 30 minute fill time for a tire. if you have any questions please let us know

According to the specifications shown, the tank is rated for 100 PSI, not 150. So no, in my opinion if you run higher air pressure in your compressor than 100, it would not be safe to couple-in this tank.

I am not sure how much psi as my compressor is too small for it. If you have the air you could use any surface grit or polish

Don't know the maximum air pressure it can pump but I am pumping over 100psi (racing bike tires) regularly. It is slow and the compressor gets hot .. I also lubricated the brass pump head so it can turn more freely. Yes, I am using it but with reservation.

This item is a tire inflation gauge. It is NOT an air compressor! It is attached to a standard air compressor line with a quick-disconnect coupling. Attached to an air compressor it would work fine for inflating bicycle tires.

The compressor has a built in pressure switch. I know it works filling tires directly. Don't know about a tank but it should work the same there. The pressure switch is not adjustable

No.The small tank will not give you enough air.This compressor is only good for inflating tires.

Do not think this will work well for air tools that use lots of air like impact wrenches. For those tools you need a large volume tank. I only use this one for putting air in my motor home tires because it will go to 150psi.

I used it to inflate the tires on my Class A motorhome, unfortunately the 100+ pressures were too much for this unit and it overheated and died. It is a very heavy duty pump, but still not up to the task of inflating high pressure tires.
