Thank you so much for this video!!!! IT was super clear, engaging and helpful. I have had my pump for years and never could figure out how to get my bike tires sufficiently inflated. Now, I am back in business!

Perfect! It’s been years since I’ve ridden my bike. Needed this to put air in my tires.
Much appreciated

This was a marvelously clear tutorial video that you have presented. It has helped me confidently learn how to pump air into my bicycle tyres here in England. Thank you very much.

You explain this very promptly and simply I really appreciate that! Lots of other tutorials gave useless information and made it very confusing.

I feel so dumb. I'm 47 and have been a truck driver for 24 years. I know how to put air in a tire. I bought a new mountain bike and have never used the presta valves. My tires keep getting lower and lower and I couldn't figure out why. I mean I've been putting air in them. The last time I tried the gauge was reading 100 psi. I knew something was wrong then. So I turned to YouTube. As you probably already have guessed I haven't been opening the valves. LOL. Thanks for the info.

[JaredToddLittlejohn]

Legit at a bike stop right now and this absolutely helped. Thank you for this video!!!

[duradura]

Thank you. I never know how to use the airpump until I saw this video.

[RitaWil]

The best video. Ironically the Trek rep I spoke with recommended another video on YT, when this one was the best.

[sharonarkoff]

Great video. Clarified how to use the pump perfectly.

[Nateasya]

Who knows this would be really helpful?! Thank you so much!!

[RavishankarAyyakkannu]

Thank you ! Very useful video. I just learnt how to use the pump for my kids bicycle.

[odalizhinojosa]

Thank you so much for the video! Had no idea there were different types of valves, thought we got a defective bike😅. Now we are riding smoothly!

This is a absolutely helpful video. I put air in my bicycle tires last week. Me and Wheels(my bicycle)are ready to roll.

[YG-rrzv]

Wow, that was so easy, quick & informative and straight to the point!

[yulianamiranda]

Saved me a trip to the bike shop. Thanks!

I have been looking for the name of the Schrader valve all day thank you!

[wolfgangscorpio]

You didn't mention THE TAP on the Presta valve prior to attaching a charger. I noticed that because I just learned that necessary "trick" in another video where it was pointed out as "non-intuitive, " which it isn't. If you don't know that you need to tap the open Presta valve SO THAT IT SEALS, you're in trouble.

Thank you for this. My old hand-pump has gone the way of the dodo, and the big electric plug-in thing my husband has is not my style. Now I know what to get and how to use it when I get it.
