I had the EXACT same issue two nights ago. I have a floor pump with built-in pressure gauge. Ended up figuring out how to inflate but I couldn't get the gauge to work properly!Originally Posted by pikato
I haven't been, but since reading these forums, I know I should. Which is why I went out and bought a tire pressure gauge. Kirk & I finally figured how to inflate the tire--you were right, I didn;t have the valve pushed in enough, but we still can't get the pressure gauge to work, so I still don't know if I have enough air in the tires.
I ended up taking the advice of of a site I found through google: Flick the tire - when it's close to being properly inflated, it should sound like a "ping" and not a "thump".
Don't know if that will cause any problems with overinflation, but my ride went fine the next morning. I need to practice on getting the gauge to work!

Your biggest challenge isn't someone else.
It's the ache in your lungs and the burning in your legs and the voice inside that yells "CAN'T".
But you don't listen. You just push harder.
And then you hear the voice whisper "CAN".
And you discover that the person you thought you were is no match for the one you really are.
