Ok, this is probably the best video I have seen on pumping bike tires (it's very detailed) and yes I've watched a ton. WHY? Because my tires won't pump!! I've tried two different pumps and the same thing happens each time. I attach the pump thingy to the schrader valve and when I go to pump it won't move more than a couple of inches. I have zero clue what to do. Can someone please tell me what is wrong with my tires?

Next time on GCN: How to turn on a bike light.

So you're telling me, dustcaps are pretty useless? Well tell this to the leaky valve at my mountainbike...

That's very helpful video
thank you so much

Re: pressure. I just put Schwalbe Lugano 700x25C tyres on my road bike. They recommend max. 5 bar.

I struggle to pump air into the tire and air won't go in but I do not have the same valve as he pumps into can someone help

can someone tell me the model of that bike??

One very important thing missing - when inflating the rear tire, work from the left side of the bike. I learned the hard way the first time I pulled the pump head off the valve and smacked the back of my hand into the cassette.

Thank you so much my tire was flat for a long wile and finally this video saved me from taking it to a professional and paying a lot more money than by doing this.

May I ask? Do you guys deflate your tires between rides? If so, why? I have been doing it ever since day one. Don't know if it's necessary?

A pump that screws onto the valve can pull out the valve when removed, if the tube has a removable valve (as many now do) and you didn't use Loctite or pre-tighten the valve. Very unfun to be stuck in the midldle of nowhere because you can't remove the pump without deflating the tube. A dab of Loctite when packing the spare tube makes all the difference.

All these bitchy comments over a video meant for beginners is why cyclists are seen as insufferable snobs.

It takes Dan 3 minutes to explain how to do the tricky task of wrapping bar tape; and Si 5 minutes to show someone how to pump up a tyre. I guess that's why Dan's "The Boss".

nice.. Thanx

are you taking the Piss 😂😂

There are adaptors from shrader to presta/dunlop style pumps.

what happens to bikes you ride on old videos? does the presenters own it or does it go back to the sponsors?

How do you take your wheels out your bike

next how to...ride without stabilisers:-)
