Would this foot pump work with a Boardman bike?

NIMAN

Wondering if anyone knows if these types of pumps come with a nozzle suitable for a Boardman?

Hard to say with the details on the page. What kind of valves are on the Boardman?

I wouldn't think so, I presume your Boardman has a presta valve , I'd say that pump does a Schrader valve, you'd be better off buying a track pump

the little brass thing is a presta to schrader valve


the one that comes with the pump aint great but you will get a proper one in your LBS for about €2

I have this one. Will last forever I think - mines at least 5yrs+ and still perfect. It's rather small investment and overtime you get great value of your purchase. You won't use it on the car as the pump you linked, but who uses that kind of pump these days ? The last time I've seen it being used was 20 yrs ago or so.

Plus you're supporting irish etailer that everyone is praising.

Buy a proper track pump.

Most of those pumps don't go far enough. The one linked to says that the gauge goes to 100psi (which isn't enough anyway) but doesn't say that the actual pump goes to 100psi.

It's a bit like saying the speedo in my car goes to 240km/h - meaningless.

thanks for all the replies folks

Just to add, I have pumped my car tryres with a track pump. Not from flat but from 20 to 40 psi.

In total, get a track pump. Those double barrel foot pumps are useless.
