Bike Tire
Posted on Friday, May 9, 2008 in Bike Parts
how do i pump up my road bike tire? or at least if i need an attachment what is it?
i have the normal pump for regular bike tires, but the road bike i have has a different system for the attachment to the tire and my regular pump dosnt fit on it. do i need and attachment for it or am i just doing it wrong?
This type of valve is called a presta valve, and is common on most road bikes and higher end mountain bikes. Many pumps are convertable between the two, and you can take off the pump head, reverse the inside bit, and use it with presta valves too. If your pump can't do this, the easiest thing to do is go to a bike shop and buy presta/schrader valve adapters. They're usually about $3 each and the people at any decent bike shop will be happy to show you how to use them. After they're installed, you can inflate it with your pump or at any gas station after that.
