Thank The Lord for track pumps

[alan]

Since last Saturday I have for a variety of reasons found it necessary to inflate both tyres on all the bikes in the garage culminating this afternoon in doing those on Marj's mtb.
I had forgotten how much pumping is required for those 2" knobblies

Yes I am that weirdo you see on the slicked up MTB BTW, with a track pump strapped under the lid of a courier bag

Yet an other great work out there for you

An old Torygraph article on the Dun Run claimed one old guy was carrying a foot pump.

Either I've seen you or you're not the only person to do this!

I do hate using my mini pump, even though the pocket rocket is reasonably good as minis go. Even with track pumps I have to put all my weight on them towards the end (no strength in my weedy arms).

The happy medium is a good quality frame pump such as the Zefal HPX.

I carry one of them on the Longstaff.

Feh.  Topeak Road Morph (or Mountain Morph for those of the Fat Tyre Persuasion).

They are also pretty good for launching bottle rockets, as we demonstrated again with the Scouts last night
