Tok 1st Gear January 18, 2017 Share January 18, 2017 When pumping the tire, the air from the pump does not seem to get into the tire. When I remove the pump from the tire valve, can hear a loud stream of air coming out from the pump. Need to go through about 3-4 times before I hear the ting ting sound that the tires are fully pumped. Why is there such difficulty. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watwheels Supersonic January 18, 2017 Share January 18, 2017 What? Simi? What are you talking about? The air pump from the petrol kiosk or your own pump? I assume it's from the kiosk since it produces pinging sound. It is usually caused when the two valves are not properly seated or aligned to form a seal for the air to get thru. Most likely wear and tear on the pump valve....you know, used by so many drivers and even cyclists. Ppl dunno how to properly get it align, starts to use brutal force and it's also exposed out in the open, brake dust getting trapped on the surfaces etc etc. That's why I get my own. The ones used by so many ppl are being abused and not properly maintained. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wear and tear. Go to another petrol station and try. If that one works, then it confirms my statement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watwheels Supersonic January 18, 2017 Share January 18, 2017 i am not suprised....there are some drivers including man who does not even know how to use the pump...... That's true. The units alone will confuse a lot of users. Whether's it's in bar or kPa or PSI. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether's it's in bar or kPa or PSI.First time i use a pump was on a van's tyre....i actually deflated the tyres as i had keyed in the wrong pressure...i pressed in the kpa values instead of the psi.....knn.....air all come out...

inlinesix Supersonic January 18, 2017 Share January 18, 2017 OT a bit . . . sorry How much PSI for pumping bicycle tires? 220 like for my car tires? KNN! Check bicycle sidewall lah. There are so many diff type of bicycle tyre. Both my roadie & Brompton can go up to 110psi. Lastly, don't use petrol station pump for bicycle. It will always be no enough pressure 1. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard bicycle tires need very high air pressure, you just confirm that. the contact patches are merely the size of two thumb prints, supporting the bike and rider, amazing.

Gotta have a flowchart man. If you have diffficulty pumping air at this petrol station, go to another petrol station to pump. At another petrol station, if you also have difficulty pumping air, then it's your tyre valve so you must go to a tyre shop to check the valve and maybe change it. If you do not have difficulty pumping air, then it's the pump at the first station. It's all about Yes or No. Can also go to a third petrol station pump to double confirm.
