Air pump

Recommended Posts

I went to a Sports goods store yesterday and found a small AIR PUMP for Baseball, Football , like in the Pic. Now I wonder if this will work for the Bike tire? Its small and has a Schrader Valve tread on the end with a short hose.

Has anyone ever tried this?

The CO2 pump that I use also can be used as a hand pump, which I have done many times.  It's not quick, but it will get the job done.  I'm willing to bet the one you have pictured will also work as long as you are willing to get an arm workout.  With a flat tire, you're not going anywhere so what else are you gonna do??

I had a Hand pump in Australia for the DR650 and it worked relative fast like 60 strokes on a tube tire. Tubless is a other problem.

I  carry a small Co2 inflator kit (Tusk brand) and a small tire pump.

I do to on the BMW and run out of cartridges after the second flat on my last trip. Than one puncture took two plugs and where still not holding air. Had to get a new tire in Pagosa springs Co.

I look for one, for the TT 600 toolbag.
