Bike pump and tyre pressure.
I was wondering is there an air pump for bike with 7.5/8 bar capacity?
Because i visited 4 stores and they only had with capacity up to 7 bar.And is it possible to at those extra 0.5 bar with a 7 bar pump?to make it 7.5 pressure on my rear tyre.
And would i have any problems if i'd set it at 7.5 bar on a 25mm tyre with 13mm wheel,and i weight 82kg/1.92cm tall.

Are you talking about a floor pump for home use or are you talking about a mini-pump for use in the event of a flat during a ride?
Most floor pumps that you'd find at a bike shop will reach 8 bar without a problem, then the question becomes whether or not you actually need to go that high (you probably don't want to).
Many mini-pumps are advertised as going that high, but the reality is that you'll reach, "oh **** this - good enough," well before you reach the theoretical max of the pump.

Probably i won't need 8 or above but if i'm planning to buy one that's a bit more expensive with better quality i guess then it's better to buy the one with 8bar or even 10,you know...just in case.

Most floor pumps got to 9-11 bar (130-160psi). I like to pump up to 130psi to seat new tyres but dial if back to 90 or less for riding pressure.
