frame tire pump

[melissam]

Perfect response! Now I understand the differences between the two-- thanks to the pictures. I really need to get a floor pump! Thanks again.

You're very welcome! Hope you got your tires pumped up.

that came to my mind immediately. When I was about 7, my mom and I would sing that together. Imagine a 7 year old girl singing "Strangers In The Night"

Gosh, Zen, I'd rather not imagine that.

melissam left out one crucial step: after you push the pump head onto the valve you usually have to lock the head to the valve. This is usually done by lifting a lever on the pump head but sometimes, depending on the pump, you may have to push down a lever.

Yikes, MDHS, I got so wrapped up in the Presta/Schrader thing that I totally forgot to include this step.

I got that song stuck in my head, too, but it was an obscene version I learned from my big brother in the '60s!

Hmmm, this could be interesting to hear. Maybe by PM....
