have never pumped a tire properly. HELP

[featuretile]

I have a Planet Bike floor pump. It costs $26.49 on Amazon. Here is the link:

It has both presta and schraeder options. I am a small woman and have no problems pumping up my tires. I have no relation to Planet Bike, but I like their products and philosophy. I think they started off in a garage and make quality products at reasonable prices, and donate some of their money to bike causes. Don't let low tires stop you from biking!

This is a great thread I usually totally deflated my tires before I can get them pumped I'm also small and getting them pumped to 110 is hard. I'm going to try getting some air out before I pump to see if it helps....

WE should have a NoCal TE pump party...

Meet in a parking lot somewhere and each person demonstrate our tire inflating method... then set the whole thing to music and submit it to you-tube.

I have a floor pump with the dealies you stand on (so the pump doesn't travel). When I pump I end up doing these wacked out plee-ays (ballet help here) because my legs are long and the pump is short.

I'm 125 lbs and pump to psi 130... unless its wet outside.
