    lezyne road drive, plus the replacement hose with the built in gauge

    medium size pump is fine

    ...or for carbon loveliness/lightness (at a price)...

    Thank you. Good selection. Used a CO2 fill today. Didn't like.

    I can't see why it would be that much use - with a mini pump the idea is usually to pump it up as much as you can before your arms give out...

    Sorry, you misunderstand. I don't do it and I need her to reach the desired pressure.

    I call my wife, who cycles to where I am, she repairs the puncture and pumps up the tyre.

    heh heh

    once i wasn't watching the gauge, i'd gone past 120psi (where the markings stop) before i noticed and quickly let some air out

    btw if you have tubes with removable valve cores, make sure they're *tight* otherwise they can come loose when you unscrew the hose

    Wow, I'm pretty sure I've never got much past around 100psi with my Lezyne mini, but I have Andy Schleck arms.. Obviously I need to find myself a muscly wife.. :)
