Pumping tires with shock pump?
 

Hi, I have a general question.

Would it be feasible to use a shock pump to pump tires (700x24)? How long
would it take to fill a tire?

I am thinking about acquiring a shock pump for pumping tires as my current
hand pump is not very good. Namely it lacks a gauge and is hard to use
especially at high pressure. Floor and foot pumps are too bulky for my
situation.

Thanks
Peter L.

Topeak Road Morph. Get it for $35 or less. You'll be glad you did.

If you don't mind spending all day pumping a tire and you don't care
about repetitive stress injuries...

I hope you are kidding. Get the Road Morph - Not much bigger than my
shock pump, has a gauge and works very well at high pressure. Mine
pumps up to 120psi easily.

$26.98, About the same cost also! Whatever you do, stay away from that
crank brothers pump - it sucks.

Longer than with a tire pump. Exactly how much longer depends on the
precise comparison of the two pumps. Figure at least double the time
of a tire pump, and note that they're often heavier than most of the
tire pumps that are designed to mount on the bike.

Somebody has already mentioned the Topeak Road Morph; I've got one,
and it's both compact and effective...and it has a hose, which keeps
me from worrying about damaging those @#$%^&* Presta valves.

If you started pumping now, it might be filled by thanksgiving. :)

Get a topeak road morph. It has a gauge and can be used like a mini floor
pump.
