Hello To All
I have a question, Do you use a mini bike pump?
you ever buy one? and if so what is the best?

What's the difference between a foot pump and a small pump? Is my English betraying me again?Susimi said:I've got a mini foot pump that I use.
I bought it for under £10 a while ago and it's served me well. It's not as nice looking or has a glamorous name on it but it suits me for what I need and I'm happy with it.
I'm considering purchasing a small pump to put on my bike but I'm in two minds about it.
A foot pump is operated by your feet and a small pump is operated by hand.bykster said:What's the difference between a foot pump and a small pump? Is my English betraying me again?
I mean, I use a foot pump as well, but I have no need to carry it around on my bike. I have a friend who's really into cycling and he does have one although he told me he never had to use it.
Ah, in that case I'd like to recant my statement. I actually use a small pump. I thought it was called a foot pump because it was the size of a foot which now I see makes no sense. I actually carried my small pump several times with me, but they've always been use to inflate basketballs since I like shooting hoops sometimes.Susimi said:A foot pump is operated by your feet and a small pump is operated by hand.
All I have is a foot pump and as I say it does me well. I'll probably regret not having a small pump on my bike but I cross that bridge if and when I come to it.
Or more probably, not well versed at translating Mandarin to English.maydog said:What a **** website. I love the testimonials, they appear to be all written by the same person with pretty weak grammar.

I don't carry anything like that when I ride simply because I can't be bothered carrying it and when I do ride I'm very rarely that far away from some sort of civilisation so there's no chance I'll be stuck anywhere.
If you know your going to be riding in a remote area then its always better to be prepared of course, but for other more local journeys I don't think there's any need really. The worst thing that can happen is that you'll have to walk it home or to the nearest shop or garage.
I'm pretty sure that is the MO here! B) Who wants to start a ride then call for a ride home or walk even one mile in cycling shoes and cleats? :wacko:BobCochran said:Fixing a flat on the spot and then resuming the ride is important to me.
Thanks a ton

I'm in love with that bike.Mr. Beanz said:Actually I liked this pump more. Strapped on to the top tube and I never even remembered it was there. It was a full size frame pump and easily hit 120 psi. B)
With the new curved style to tubes, I can't fit a long straight pump underneath, bummer!
