Mini pumps

Tried using it yet smallfurry?

I doubt it's in Norway yet. Even if it has reached those shores, the customs guys are probably still pissing themselves laughing at the comedy bike pump.

"Look at that tiny thing, how the fuck is that going to pump a tyre above 12 PSI! Ha ha ha ha ha. Ha."

I'm pretty sure that in Norway they'd measure in bar, not psi? They do in Germany.

I'm pretty sure Norwegian customs officers would speak Norwegian too.

It's called artistic licence Oliver.

Don't they speak English with a funny accent?

No, that's you and I, Oli.

Nah. Just you, hippy.

I'm just jealous because I sound like I'm from London.

Awwight geezah, wantsta boiya jellied eel?

Thank fuck it's not that bad.

hippy, you've changed. Is that the opportunist in you creeping out again? ;P

The pump will take a while to get to me as Norwegian post is near exactly 3x slower than any other I have ever used. It wont be stopped buy customs despite being ordered together with some latex inners because it was only 130 NOK.

I only bought it as a get me home pump. 100PSI (7 Bar) is the minimum my tyres should be run at, and the maximum the pump will give (claimed). So for the 30mins a year I'm likely to spend using it, it'll likely be a royal PITA.

I had considered getting a CO2 jobbie but some interweb bullies (Hippy + Tommy), made me feel bad :(

Anyway its green, so win....

Boring post....

I had Belgian waffles and toffee icecream last night....

CO2 carts are for bed wetters, blouse-wearers and obviously ironman triathletes who fall into the former two categories anyway. Good lad.

I'm just curious to know how hard it is to actually get to 100psi with something so small. I think a test run is in order..

Will do. I need the excercise.

Its for the fixed gear, which I tend to take on 60km rides, on country roads. Even running Veloflex's with thin latex inners, I've only had one 'you know what' in 18 months. Even that was when I was running max pressure out of curiosity, and the bead blow off the rim on a bump (i think).

For the record, even if its a real PITA. I'm still happy I went for it, over a CO2.

get a mini morph. done.

close thread.

Its a more gutteral version of this....

So 'bork bork bork 100psi? Bork? ha bork ha bork ha ha!'

HA!

Amen.

I bought one of these following a recommendation from shootthebreeze;

It's a bit big to carry around on the bike, but I was after a pump I could throw into a bag and use at HH and at cyclocross races rather than lugging a full sized track pump around. I misread the gauge last Wednesday and managed to put 140 PSI into my front wheel using it so it's got plenty of grunt.

No, that's you and I, Oli.

You and ME.

I'll grant you the accent but get the fucking grammar correct.

Why is it me and not I?

I'm not sure in that case. One would say "I speak English with a funny accent" (not "me speak English with a funny accent"), so I'm tempted to agree with Hippy?

No doubt Oliver will correct us all soon.

(you should have just said "us", Hippy).

Becasue them's the rules.

To determine it, take the other person(s) out of the sentence and recast it. Then use the same personal pronoun.

e.g.

You would say: "No that's me, Oliver."
not "No that's I, Oliver".

Hence it becomes: "No that's you and me, Oliver".

Ta Da!

[aussie accent] Thats you and me both, bruce [/aussie accent]
[aussie accent] Thats you and I both, bruce [/aussie accent]

Defo 'me'.

Thanks littlefuzzy, I forgot to dumb it down!

Whichever version is correct, mashton is banned :)
