Sammajoor Posted October 15, 2007 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1hill@aTime Posted October 15, 2007 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotSoBigBen Posted October 15, 2007 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fork-it Posted October 15, 2007 Share Is the whole bomb concept something worth investing in, or would you consider it a luxury? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tumbleweed Posted October 15, 2007 Share 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?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1hill@aTime Posted October 15, 2007 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndreZA Posted October 15, 2007 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
