I've used lots of different ones / brands. It does what it needs to and is so much cheaper. I feel less like I'm pouring eau d'cologne inside my tyres at that price.
What did you do TO / WITH / FOR your bike today!

The well worn tyre inflating gun. This is a straight though gun from the tank with no restrictions or reducers to slow the flow/volume. Press the handle down and full pressure out the nozzle.
The brass fitting in the end is a presta-schrader adaptor, I change it out every few years as the O-ring gets worn.
It doesn't get screwed on, its a push fit as the valve sits nicely in the adaptor, sealed by the O-ring.
Inflates a 2.5 tyre from sitting baggy on the rim to sealed and popped on the bead in ~2-3 seconds.

And where does one buy all this stuff from?

Down on the left!
I lost my little adapter years ago so literally jamb the end of one of these on the valve with less core and it goes pop pop pretty well but as it’s a big compressor, takes a while to load up so use the track pump 99% of the time cause I’m impatient.
Maybe your arms are just really puny from spending all your time in the Zwiftverse

The compressor will come with a hose and some fittings, I reckon this gun is supposed to be a blower. Easily retrofitted to be an inflator.
If you buy a secondhand compressor, you can buy air hoses and fitting from the above shops.
The Presta-Schrader adaptors come from Ali or eBay at 10 for $3.

I don't use a compressor for topping up a tyre before a ride, thats a Lezyne digital pumps job.
If you know you are going to change a tyre, flick the switch in the compressor and in about 1 minute its ready to go.

Zwift is the most flattering. It distributes your weight to the most appropriate places, 85kg of pure muscle.
Got no hair son ? We'll give you some.

Funny how things work out, almost like it was meant to be, but it wasn't.. Should put the frame that the fork was meant to go on together one of these days.

Should have asked the oracle which one to buy... not all sideloaders are made equal, some are so bad they spit the bottle out the opposite side
