How do I choose a bike pump?
The pump you choose needs to match or exceed the stated air pressure your tires can handle. If the pump's max air pressure is too low, you won't be able to adequately inflate the tires, no matter how much you pump. Note that road bike tires typically require a higher psi than mountain or hybrid bikes.
Can I use air pump on bike tire?
You can use an air compressor to fill a bike tire much faster than you can with a manual pump, but there are a few things you have to watch out for – especially if you are trying to air up the tires of your mountain bike at the gas station.
How do I fill my bike with air?
To let air out, press down on the tip, which opens the valve. Also, before inflation, press down to make sure the valve is open. For Schrader valves, to release air, press something into the valve to depress the valve core (the little pin inside the valve). To inflate, simply attach the pump and get to work.

Does it matter what bike pump you use?
Generally speaking, if you ride tire pressures higher than 60 psi, you need a high-pressure pump. These will max out between 160 and 220 psi. High-volume pumps, on the other hand, move a large amount of air with each stroke and are made for filling fat tires very quickly.Nov 18, 2021
