Tellers what kind of Tyre pumps do you all use? I bought the littlecblack ones like what was posted earlier in the thread but it not cutting it as it can't give me 70psi. Thanks

^ for my MTB I use a SKS Germany pump.

Bought it in madras road by the corner itself as soon as you enter its the first house opposite the roti shop there is a 3rd world bike shop there but the pumps are good if its SKS germany.

Gets my tire rock solid. But tends to unscrew easy. I however like to use the gas station automatic pumps they work best and cut off when it reaches max pressure.

[hindian]

Hmmm ok cool I was using one of those same pumps self this morning and the bottom part where the connection attaches literally blew out from the bottom of the pump and I stuck it back with crazy glue lol
. I guess I just got a bad pump then. I was thinking to purchase one of those 12v car models as a better way to inflate my tyres but I need to find a good quality one first.

@Hindian, I use this compressor. Its 120v though. Also a Topeak Mini dual frame pump if I ever get a flat while riding.

[hindian]

Cool I like that one. I was in Bhagwansinghs a couple days ago and I saw they have a small home compressor, the tank is round and about the diameter of a dinner plate and it says in the specs that it good for abt 150psi. The price not too bad either imo at $899 as i cud also use it for the car tyres and light duty pneumatic tools.

Bought this from pricemart a few years ago. Works better and faster than the 12v unit.

I torrent those magazines and read them when I can.
Yes I'm going later. Trails might be a little muddy as POS had a lot of rain this morning and the sun is yet to shine through.

[trinibajan34]

What time you going for ?

[bgh]

I try to get there for 5 and get at least an hour ride done. Its raining again in POS however west side looks ok.
Tuesday I got soaked as it began to rain on my final lap during my north/south bank runs.
Had to change in my car, it was a tight squeeze. lol...

[trinibajan34]

sent you a pm with my number , I will try to make it for that time

Nice

[Seeker]

Thanks. Never been on any trails, only road.

It makes a quite a racket while pedaling. From "creeks" and "squeaks".

What's a reputable shop to service it ?

Nice, more stopping power. What happen yesterday?
It was a little wet as it was raining slightly but it was all good.

What you all think about this helmet. it gives a bit more coverage to the back of your head.

Just decided not to come down

[bgh]

no scene. had a police road block in caranage, no problems getting down to the trails but traffic was backup all the way to the base in chag...
By the time I left it was just the usual glenco traffic.

[trinibajan34]

When next you going down ? I looking to go down tomorrow evening, carry my daughter to ride in the bamboo cathedral

[zeeshan66]

Seeker - thanks. I went with a fuji instead of specialized (overpriced trash) and trek and couldn't be happier. Its well worth the splurge.
