At Eurocycles we have a wide range of bicycle pumps available both online and instore. If you are unsure of which pump you need you can always contact us, and we will recommend the pump best suited to you and your cycling lifestyle.
A bike pump is an essential tool for every cyclist. With your own bike pump, you will avoid flat tires and always have the correct pressure in your tires. It is recommended that every cyclist should have two pumps for their bike.
- A pump that you can carry on bike journeys, that can repair flat tires commonly known as a “frame” or “mini pump”. The mini pump we would recommend is the Syncros Mini-Pump Boundary 2.0HP. Although this pump is known as a “mini pump”, it is a dedicated high-pressure pump that can inflate a road tire in no time.
- Another pump that is a must have is a floor pump, which is ideal for checking and topping off tires before heading off on adventures. One of the floor pumps we would recommend is the Syncros Floor Bike Pump Vernon 2.0. This floor pump features a strong and steel barrel and base with a composite handle.
Types Of Bike Pumps
- Floor Pump: A floor pump is the fastest and most efficient way to pump up your tires. As it is one of the bigger bike pumps, it will save you time, effort and frustration compared to a small pump. The Raleigh Alloy floor pump is an essential in your kit as it has a sturdy handle, kraton grips and gauge.
- Mini & Frame Pumps: These pumps will make sure you get home if you encounter a flat tire on a bike journey. They are designed to fit in your jersey or hydration pack. The only downside with minis is they require more effort than most pumps, but they will still do their job and get you home or to the nearest place that has a bigger pump.
- C02 Inflators: These are perfect to keep at arm’s length when out and about on your bike. C02 inflators provide a simple, efficient method to inflate your tires when out cycling. The JetValve Inflator & C02 Cylinder Smart System Bottle Cage Mount is suitable for instant inflation of all types of valves.
- Hand Pump: These pumps are designed to be portable and are perfect for emergencies and occasional use. Truflo Micro Hand Pump 3 Fix is suitable for either Presta and Schrader valves. It also comes with a bracket that fits onto any water bottle bosses on your bike frame.
How To Choose Your Bike Pump
When you are purchasing a bike pump, you need to know which inner tube you have. There are two standard valve types, Schrader and Presta.
1.Schrader: These are identical to those found on car tires and are the most common valves which can be found on mountain bikes. They have the same circumference from top to bottom. Usually found on hybrid and children’s bikes.
2.Presta: These valves are found on most road and off-road bikes, are longer and thinner and feature a threaded tip, which must be opened to inflate.
