You can change to any size you want. Single speed or double speed also can. Just need to change your chain length.

Hello everyone,

I have a query about floor pumps. My pump does not pump for the first few strokes. The first few strokes are very light, with no resistance at all. Only after a few strokes, that the pump begin to push air into the tube. Is this a sign of pump failure?

TIA for replies. :)

Pressure =force/area

I using similar pump by lezyne haha.
My only issue when i pump my RB is that i need to release some air from my tubes before i pump.
Yes, so do I!
Normal lah. 2 reasons for it.
1) Presta valve maybe stuck, so by releasing the air, you are also "releasing" the valve.
2) Pressure in the tube is high, you will need to use a higher pressure from the pump to force open the valve to pump. Shd see how my guys who are 60 kg need to jump on the pump to get the air in:s13:

So, by releasing air, its much easier to pump.

I need to let go all the air from the rear wheel of my roadbike in order to get air going in. Non of my other wheels needs to do this including the front wheel of the same road bike. :s22::s22::s11:
