Sammajoor Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 hi so after yesterdays fun out at the reserve i bought some 12g bombs' date=' question: what bar does it pump you tyre to?[/quote'] Abought 7 bar buy the 16 g pumps to 8.5 much better if your'e a dikgat like me
1hill@aTime Posted October 15, 2007 Author Posted October 15, 2007 ok when the moon is directly above us, i'll be lucky to top 64kgs so it should be ok, i heard you should try pump it a bit with you hand pump?
NotSoBigBen Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 Not sure how many bar but sure harder than I could pump with my 'mini' pump by hand! 1H is definitely not dikgat so if 12g's is ok for me he should be fine.
Fork-it Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 Is the whole bomb concept something worth investing in, or would you consider it a luxury?
Tumbleweed Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 as far as i know 12g bombs will give you up to 7 in a road tyre, and the 12g about 6 in an mtb. it all depends on how good your adaptor is. (minor hijack: bb, didn't see you in parys. you there?)
Sammajoor Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 Is the whole bomb concept something worth investing in' date=' or would you consider it a luxury?[/quote'] don't even own a pump to pump tyres just a bomb use it with the MTB and road
Tumbleweed Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 Is the whole bomb concept something worth investing in' date=' or would you consider it a luxury?[/quote'] definitely worth it if you're racing, save you mucho time.
Zoo Cookie Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 Is the whole bomb concept something worth investing in' date=' or would you consider it a luxury?[/quote'] was wondering the same thing.
1hill@aTime Posted October 15, 2007 Author Posted October 15, 2007 are you asking about the whole pump or just inflater?, like BB said, and is very true, i have a pump, i'll take that and the bombs, to the next race, i'm not waisting another 14mins, that's a lifetime and a few groups passing you. My opinion, bombs and races is the way to go, training rides use your pump.
Fork-it Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 Thanks, it seems like a time saver!Approximate cost, device and replacement bombs?
1hill@aTime Posted October 15, 2007 Author Posted October 15, 2007 i just payed R55 for the inflater and R25 per 12g bomb
AndreZA Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 i'm not waisting another 14mins' date=' that's a lifetime and a few groups passing you. [/quote'] Dude, someone must show you how it's done. It look me 8 minutes on Saturday and I was taking my time making sure my bike was standing on a nice grassy patch to that I don't damage my seat or levers. And I'm using a R69 no-name brand pump from Sportman's Warehouse.
Tumbleweed Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 device: R40 to 140you can buy whole kits (device plus two bombs) from anout R130-R180bombs: R15 to R20
Sammajoor Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 i just payed R55 for the inflater and R25 per 12g bomb Our LBS charges R19 per 16g your'e being ripped off
1hill@aTime Posted October 15, 2007 Author Posted October 15, 2007 mampara, the problem was my pump was giving hassles, i have used that pump so many times and have had a wheel fixed in under 10mins easy, this time no luck.
