Uff? iam tire

Haha. You don’t need to panic so much when your screwing the presta valve. The air can’t? escape unless you push the valve down :)

@skoockum She’s talking about the tyres, they? ARE loose against the rim so you might want to go back to pre-school

decent bike!?

skoockum August 20, 2011 at 5:06 am

@DistincTHD No, underinflated tires? aren’t “loose”, not even against the rim, they are underinflated. Possibly soft ..or even spongy, (but that’s a colloquialistic stretch). Anyway, thanks for letting me know what the halfwit contingent has to say about the matter — the grownups will certainly be taking your opinion into consideration.

@skoockum The grownups? Does that mean you’re one Immature Troll? Even if it doesn’t,? you still are. 1. You can’t inflate tyres only the tube so stop saying “Underinflated tyres”. 2. You just used to words in Conjunction that don’t make sense together (halfwit contingent)

Great video i know what its like my cheapest airpump was a Bell black pump wouldnt pump my tires would get to low psi right away even the older swapmeet bought airpumps did a better? job haha right now i managed to snag a Schwinn Digital floor pump usually 19.99 for 7$ and does a hell of a job!

@DistincTHD You have a problem with the term “underinflated tires”? Good. Take? it up with bikeliving\, you silly little half-a-troll.

skoockum September 27, 2011 at 4:21 am

@DistincTHD “You? just used to words in Conjunction that don’t make sense together (halfwit contingent)” sic

Only to a halfwit. ;) Thanks for backing me up.

@iregmail hey, if ya want to know if its punctured you should overfill your tires with air (not too much ) ,take tire wash or just water and spray? it on the tire, one bit at a ttime and where ever you see bubbles thats where its punctured.

@13mellette how much did you? pay for that bike

ukexpat November 16, 2011 at 10:25 pm

NB on? Park Tool pumps, the lever goes down (90 degrees) to lock.

swedengirl7 December 2, 2011 at 9:08 pm

heythisrocks December 18, 2011 at 12:01 am

Pump it baby? yess tighten my nut yes

gnosismonk January 9, 2012 at 11:50 am

just go to a gas station and hold it on and count to 100 that should do it.

no no no, read the tyre for the psi and dial it into a digital tyre pump at the gas station and? it will beep when it reaches the level.

I have a road bike, but? the Thing for the air is smaller than Most Bikes…
What should I do?

MrPeterpott February 7, 2012 at 5:08 am

She didn’t say how to attach the pump to the valve with that silly clamp attachment and she doesn’t explain how? to know when to stop pumping.

BarronTube February 11, 2012 at 8:19 pm

I’ve seen people pump up bikes before. I need? somebody to explain it.
