*Joe and Franklin*--Is the compressor for only originally seating the tire, or is it for ongoing pumping in air? So, if I have James mount the tire, i'm OK with my standard floor pump for pumping air in?
*Ted--*when you say it doesn't hold air as well, are you talking pumping on a daily or hourly basis instead of weekly, or is it in the same ballpark, but just slightly more often?
