I'm glad nobody was at my house listening to the cursing on Saturday
when I couldn't get my floor pump to work. I'd been having some problems
with a foot pump I use for the motorbike so have been alternating
between that and the bike floor pump. On Saturday I went to pump up the
MTB tyres but couldn't get the pump connection to fit to the valve.
Tried every MTB tube I had and same thing. Came to the conclusion that
using it on the m'bike had stuffed it. Went to pump up the m'bike tyre
yesterday and realised the lever on the pump connection folds in to seal
on the foot pump, but out on the floor pump. I'd been tryign to connect
the bloody thing in its sealed position! Grrrrrrrrrr!
