A-Bike Pump

Postby Uno77 on Thu Oct 04, 2007 1:34 pm

I have not yet got my A-Bike. Is it necessary to get the offial pump or can I use a standard bike pump on it? Also, does the A-Bike use a standard valve like on a bicycle or car?

thanks in advance

Highly recommend ordering the pump. I know i can't use my other pumps. The pump from Mayhem works great and is very light weight to boot. If you get it from Mayhem with your bike order, you save on shipping.

The A-bike's tyres use standard Schrader valves, therefore you can use a standard bike pump on it. However, it's important to maintain the correct tyre pressure for the A-bike, so I think you should choose a pump with a pressure gauge. Moreover, the inner tube will be torn easily if you pull out the valve too much when you are inflating the tyre, so I recommend you to use a pump with hose.
This is the pump which I use to inflate my A-bike's tyres.
