thank you for the many good suggestions. They're we're a couple I wasn't already doing.

sorry the software on my tablet sucks. I really di speak English but I'm not wasting my time fixing this price of junk as king as is remotely legible. Yeah f this tablet.

Don’t expect too much out of a $4 pump. A Topeak Road Morph may cost $50 but it’s capable of far more than 60 psi and it will last a whole lot longer than a cheap pump. I have several pumps that at have been used often and are close to 20 years old. They also are a whole lot easier to carry than a foot pump in addition to being a whole light lighter.
