[QUOTE="Gary Gittleson, post: 151489, member: 3625"] I'm very familiar with the bicycle types. I rode off-road bikes (mountain bikes) for years. One wants a way to keep going out in the wilderness. The thing about the valve is that most such bicycles have Presta valves, rather than Schrader types. Most of these pumps today have a facility for each type. The Presta type is much thinner and quite different in its function, so the motorcycle tube (with the Schrader valve) won't fit the bicycle port. If the pump only has the Presta type, you'd need some sort of adapter. There are adapters for Presta to Schrader. Not sure about the other way. Vic is right. These pumps are slow but will achieve very high pressures. Road bicycles often run their tires at over 100psi. [/QUOTE]
