hmm....in reference to pumps....
hand pumps do suck more than they inflate, and most of the 12v pumps i;ve
used ARE peices of crap...of course i really should expect them to keep
up witht he job of remounting tires, should i...:) all except one, that a
neighbor had..it was probbly 15 or 20 years old, and HEAVY..not heavy
duty, just heavy! all the lables at worn off, but it was a wonderful 12v
pump...:)
as for foot pumps, yeah they work. and well. it just that they take a while..
like when i had to reinflate my normally 42lb tire from 3lb..<i LIKE my
tiregauge..:) and it probabl took me 20 minutes, and a lot of leg
switching...its not so bad up to say, 25 or 30, but after that, each pump
just doesnt do as much..<yeah, i know why..:) has to do with the fact
that you are no COMPRESSING the air...>
but, that would be my viable solution, i suppose...or drive back to
georgia, and knock off my neighbor, forge the will, and get the pump from
him that way...but that wouldnt be good for my Karma, would it?:)
anyhow, just my 9 cents worth..
