Shot Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 I had to stop riding for a few months and my back tire went flat. I have a good quality Birzman pump, but no matter how fast I pump, I can’t get the little thingy to catch of the other little inside thing. I tried some soap and water (watched a few you tube videos), but no luck. Any suggestions are much welcome. BTW, I am a bit new to cycling Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonoi Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 You need something like this http://www.trekbikes.com/us/en_US/equipment/cycling-accessories/bike-pumps/bontrager-tlr-flash-charger-floor-pump/p/11881/ or an air compressor in order to get a good seal. Whilst not impossible, a normal track pump doesn't normally have enough to seat tyre in to the rim correctly.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good info, and thanks for that. Much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
