It left me stuck on a motorway exit near Madrid with a puncture and no inflating device. I investigated the internals and the seals were totally worn. You can still find it behind a concrete pillar of a bridge where a friendly and helpful policeman professionally ditched it ;-)
Not suitable for intensive use if you ask me... Better take a handpump as backup.

You never told me about that one!!:wave:

Was it the seal in the connector that failed - I packed a spapre connector for mine which you could have had if I'd known yours was failing.
