How are you guys airing down and where do you get the parts/kit to do so?

 

I have a valve stem remover. I just take out the stem, let it air down for about 15 seconds the put it back in, check the pressure again. If it needs more out its usually not much so I just push in the stem until its right.

I got the stem remover from Walmart as a kit for like $10

 

you can do something like use a VCR (valve core remover) to air down, use the backside of an air gauge, or use the Staun Tire Deflaters.

I use the Stauns because they are extremely consistant. Somewhat hard to adjust the first time but once they are set all you do is screw them on the valve and it deflates to a predetermined pressure. I have mine set at 12 PSI.

 

a rock......from the ground

 

i just use an the back of an air gauge takes a little longer but its perty easy plus its a gauge

 

i use the backside of my air gauge, its cheap, simple, and did i mention cheap...

 

I air down with my inflater.
Pull the trigger all the way to air back up, pull the trigger half way to air down, and I can watch the gauge to know when to stop.



I have some of those air down things that spin onto each other into one piece, then you unscrew them to put on the four tires, but I like the way I do it with the gauge, more accurate for me.

 

Got a campbell hausfeld gauge at wallyworld that allows you to deflate when checking pressure, I like it the best.

 

valve core removal tool is what i use just pull the valve core

 

Remove the valve core and check the pressure, reinstall core once it is at desired PSI. It's cheap and a lot faster than most of the other systems. The only disadvantage is that you have to watch it all the time, also make sure you carry a couple extra cores in case you lose one.

 

I use the trailhead deflators made by Oasis. They seem work real good and they are accurate.

The only downside to deflators like these are you cant easily adjust. Say you normally run 8psi for the harder trails, but this time out you are just running some fire roads and want to air down to 12psi, you would have to re-calibrate the deflators taking out all the convenience factor.

The deflator Corey has is what I would purchase if I did it again. Elvota uses one of these as well and has been happy with it.

 

i dont know about you guys, but i use my teeth, effective, cheap, and it does the job

 

I recommend this:

x2 - that is a nice unit.

 

x3... I think those are great.


So easy to use, fast, reasonably cheap and very consistent. Plus, as Westy mentioned, you have the ability to adjust pressure for whatever you feel a particular run will warrant.

 

ARB now has a rebadged version of the Currie Deflator. Costs $4 more, but the pouch is nicer. I like the pouch...
