Hey Folks
I was struggling with a mini pump so bought this pump, works great, very easy to use, i have a question, how accurate is the gauge?
I also have a Topeak digital gauge, it seems pretty close to the pump gauge, is that also accurate?
Ha, you might be right that i am making a big deal out of it but....
Its a huge worry, twice now i have been stuck miles out in the countryside, these tubes overlap, won’t the overlap cause a bulge in one part of the tyre?
That explains why the pump wouldnt work.
I pumped them up a little as per the video, they are still too big for the wheel, it overlaps, nothing like in the video where each end meets, i will de inflate slightly later and try again and see if they can at least serve a purpose on getting me home...
I am having problems with my mini pump now, nothing but issues lol
Never used Presta valve before, but i am putting it on the valve, nice and tight, i can pump a little then it feels like air is being stuck somewhere because it gets very difficult to pump, too difficult, the pump will not go...

Bought two of them in 700*32/37 size.
Do they fit better when pumped up maybe, just viewing the video on that page.
I dont have a clue lol
Okay i checked tyres and Oxygen site and they both say 700x35c.
The problem is the Gaadi tubes are 4.2 inches bigger than wheel and the Schwalbe tubes ( which will require wheel loosening to fit ) look like a perfect fit, after measurements the Schwalbe is around 4...
I don’t know tube size for what was already on the wheel, as far as the CST ones which came with the bike but i dont recall them being 4.2 inches over the wheel size, they seemed to be a good fit.
Just measured on the floor, the tube is 83 inches long.
Just checked Schwalbe tubes i also...
Small problem, its as expected a little too big for the wheel, what do folks suggest i do, it looks a little bulky to try and add to whats already there.
Pic enclosed.
Another problem, maybe a problem, i ordered presta valves, it looks totally different to the fromt wheel and i am thinking...
When i was younger i just blew the tyres up, felt by hand but that was a normal bike, i just feel with an electric i have to worry about the spokes and rear wheel more, its always on my mind, when younger there is no fear, getting older theres more fear that something will go wrong when you are...
Okay so if the tube can do 73psi and the tyre recommendation is 55 to 85 psi its obvious the tube cannot handle the maximum of 85psi, both are Schwalbe too, or am i wrong about this?
The Schwalbe tyres were loose from their packaging, not sealed, bit worrying for me, i like to know i am getting...
Mine just arrived, will probably fit later tonight or tomorrow afternoon, before the football comes on, will try the Gaadi before the Schwalbe.
I also got my Schwalbe tubes too, it says on the instructions, five bar pressure, what is this ? What is five bar pressure on a tube ?
I have been looking at several sites and cannot seem to find Schwalbe tubes that fit, can you point me in the right direction, i would prefer Amazon but any will do, i cannot seem to find the right size on the Halfords site.
So the tubes will say 700x35c and thats correct, no small or larger, i want to make sure i order correctly as i cannot buy at the shop so its an online purchase
I am going to get a Gaadi to carry around with me for emergencies.
What i want to do is get some Schwalbe tubes, one for the front, one for the rear, then change the current Schwalbe Energizer Pro Tour tyres to the stock Marathons which have no wear on them and i think should provide similiar...
