[Yeobh]

Anyone know what's the different between a single and a double tube foot pump?

 

My 12v pump uplorry, not replacing it, too noisy.

Yes this is what am looking for, but those leg look flimsy and likely to sink when pumping. Thanks.

Agree. Get hand pump. It's easier and quicker.

Can get from some Sheng Shiong stores or Fairprice Xtra, less than $10.

Ever try before, workable but may hurt leg if slip.

foot pump will slip. Hand pump won't unless real kayu. There's a section for your foot to hold the pump steady.

For convenience and to save one's time it's best one invest in good quality and reliable air pump tool. To buy the cheapest air pump available in the marketplace is sheer waste of money and will indirectly cause more frustration when the tool fails to perform in time of needs.

The best solution in Singapore is to get the air service free from service stations or from your friendly tyre or car workshop.

Getting free compressed air is great for your pockets but not so for your tyres and rims.

For some service stations , I understand , their tyre inflators calibration most of the time is not accurate -maybe due to poor user handling or lack or maintenance. The other problem is the compressed air are not thoroughly dried at the point of dispensing and the end result is you will be pumping moisture loaded compressed air into your tyres.

Over in the tyre and car workshops, most of the compressed air is moisture filtered and and oil mist laden to lubricate the shop air tools while in operations. That is idea for air tools and equipment operations but not so for tyre inflating. Shops mech are so busy most of the time they just plug in the nearest avaliable air hose and start inflating the your tyres , 90% of the time they will pump oil mist laden compressed air into your tyres which is not as bad as moisture.

don't panic if the tyre lao hong when you use these portable pump 'cos it's designed to be such. You need to quickly push it in and quickly lock it to prevent more hong from escaping.

This is one simple way to deflate a tyre before pumping - usually with twin chuck connector.

For hand held professional tyre inflator gauges they are normally designed for 3 functions - deflating, inflating and air pressure reading.

Do you need air supply for this pump? If no, where and how much to get this?

You need to plug the tyre inflator gauge via a air hose to a compressed air outlet.

Thanks for the information.

Thanks for the information.

 

Welcome, your friendly wshop should be able to supply free compressed air. Maybe the shop already have tyre inflator gauge.Check them out.

Being kiv getting a portable pump since last came here.

A fine morning, went to my ride and discovered a tyre flat like prata.

 

Fast leg fast hand, swapped into my donut tyre, hell of ugly.

A petrol station nearby, carted my mended tyre to have it pump.

Unfortunately, the pump wont work with a totally flat tyre.

 

Managed to get a portabe leg pump from a hardware shop nearby.

It takes me around 10mins after constant leg work to get to 230.

 

It cost less than $10 for the pump, but it works!

 

The construction of the pump wasn't strong.

After about 5 mins of contant pumping, somehow it frame start

to change shape. Haha under $10 product, anyway it fulfill it duty.

 

To those who never experience changing tyre,

best get a pipe to extend the handle of the stock tool.

This will provides better leverage when loosening and

tightening the wheel nuts.

the pipe can come in handy when travelling to malaysia ... not being cynical but rather err on the side of caution.
