Less than half price,they would have to be a lot less than that as well for me to buy one,hate them with a vengeance,they where the type of thing they would give us years ago in the army in the emergency repair kits for truck tyres,they take half an hour to pump up a push bike tyre,just imagine how long it took us to pump up a bleeding truck tyre.  :disapp:

Got one that plugs into the socket/ciggy lighter but that seems to go on forever pumping up just a few psi's.

Got it for the bike as they wanted £8 just for bike pump!

I bought an electric one a few years back when I had problems with tyres losing pressure quite often. It took about the same time as the double-barrel foot pump but didn't tire me out. :)

I must check my pressures soon, been a month or two now.

Stupid bugger - he would turn the bike upside down and balance it on the handle bars and saddle - like wot you do when mending a puncture.

Didn't think of that.

I'll take it back and ask for for a longer tube!

Or get a bike with smaller wheels!

I don't believe that's for the bike nor for the car. You're just attempting to disguise your latest performance enhancement device. :whistler:
