Meet Mike W. from Montana

Mike W. is a mountain biking enthusiast and the proud owner of Aurum Suspension, a business dedicated to servicing mountain bike suspension forks and shocks. Based in Montana, Mike was super excited to win the Viair 85P Digital Portable Compressor, which he describes as the perfect addition to his mountain biking adventures. After using the compressor for about a week, he’s already impressed with its simplicity and functionality.

Mike first heard about the contest when he and his employee were checking out Viair compressors for his business. "My employee and I were looking at the Viair compressors a couple days prior to the contest. I then received the email about the contest and entered," Mike shared. Little did he know that he would soon be the lucky winner of a brand-new compressor.

A Perfect Fit for Mountain Biking Adventures

As someone deeply involved in the mountain biking community, Mike has been eyeing a Viair compressor for some time. "I've thought about purchasing one for a while but kept delaying the purchase since there are lots of startup costs for a small business," he explained. Winning the Viair 85P Digital was a pleasant surprise, and it couldn’t have come at a better time.

"The compressor is pretty impressive and only takes a couple of seconds to fill a mountain bike tire," Mike noted. "It was also powerful enough to seat a mountain bike tubeless tire, which usually takes a large blast of air at higher pressure." For someone who spends a lot of time on the trails, having a portable and efficient compressor like the Viair 85P is a game-changer.

A Versatile Tool for Work and Play

Mike’s enthusiasm for the Viair 85P Digital goes beyond his personal mountain biking adventures. He also plans to use the compressor at work. "I own a mountain bike suspension service company and sponsor some races. I provide neutral support for the races, and having a portable air compressor is really nice," Mike said. Being able to rely on the Viair compressor during races ensures that riders can quickly get back on the trail with properly inflated tires.

Mike's company, Aurum Suspension, has been in business for three years and continues to grow. After a career shift from environmental engineering, Mike found his passion in helping mountain bikers get the most out of their suspension setups. "It is really fun to custom valve the suspension for their riding style, body type, and bike kinematics," Mike shared, highlighting the rewarding aspects of his job.

First Impressions of Viair

Despite this being his first Viair product, Mike is already a fan. "This is my first Viair brand product, and I have been pretty impressed so far," he said. The compressor's performance has exceeded his expectations, and it's clear that Viair has gained a new loyal customer.

When asked if he plans to use the Viair compressor at home or work, Mike answered, "Both." He sees the compressor as a versatile tool that’s not only great for mountain biking but also practical for vehicle maintenance. "It makes a great alternative to a traditional bike pump since it's more compact and easily fits in the vehicle. It's also nice that you can use the compressor for your vehicle tires when needed," he explained.

A Satisfied JB Tools Customer

Mike has been a JB Tools customer for some time, and we’re thrilled that he continues to choose us for his tool needs. "I really like JB Tools' selection of quality products, and shipping is quick," he said. When asked if he plans to shop with us again, Mike responded with a resounding, "Of course, you can never have too many tools. Plus, some break or wear out as well."

Winning the Viair 85P Digital Portable Compressor was a surprise for Mike, but it’s clear that this tool will serve him well for years to come. We’re excited to see how it enhances his mountain biking adventures and supports his growing business.
