I stop when it reads the desired PRESSURE! Around here we use psi = pounds per square inch. Weirdly enough, my pump's pressure gauge is also graduated in kg/cm^2. I would have used that as a bad example in my courses, since kg is properly used to measure mass, not force. And pressure is force per unit area. (This indicates that the SI system gets misused as much as the U.S. or Imperial system.) -- - Frank Krygowski |

It does raise the question of how short, slight racing mechanics manage to push down the handle on road tubes inflated to awesome bars. I notice my SKS Rennkommprrrressorrrr is rated to 16 bars... of which I use two and a bit, never more than 3 bar Andre Jute When professional photographers had arms like gorillas |

Why not get a GOOD book on bicycle repair and learn the proper basic terminology and repair methods? Plus, with a good book you'd have the information at hand and not have to wait for replies from here. BTW, as Frank stated, using a HIGH volume gas station air hose to fill a road-bicycle tire that has a comparatively very low volume will almost guarantee you'll blow your bicycle tire unless you're very quick at attaching and disengaging the hose. Cheers Don't be such a pompous dickhead, Ridealot. Not everyone pretends to know everything, unlike you. Not everyone grew up on your street corner, and consequently value questions differently, and ask them differently too. In any event, when there are so many people willing to answer questions on any given subject, people with something else to fill their minds have no need to remember minor techie details when all one has to do is ask and be patient for about five minutes.

Don't forget to answer my still-unanswered question on "65 PSI". Unless of course you only want to answer my "joke" questions? The pressure rating on the tire, put there my the manufacturer, is probably to try to ensure that someone doesn't try to pump the tire up to an abnormally high pressure at which it might explode, thus destroying the tire and giving the owner grounds to sue the maker.

Like now for example, what I want to do is add you to my KILL file. But don't worry, there are tons of negativistic lamers there already to keep you company. Well, I've mentioned that you might research your questions before asking them and Frank has even given you a list of books that might enlighten you and now Sir has told you flat out that you do sound like a troll. Perhaps it is you that is at fault and not the growing group that question your intent. -- Cheers, John B. |
