In reply to Rahul. Hi Rahul. My favourite pump is the Topeak Road Morph G because you can use your body weight to easily get to high pressures. It also has a gauge which seems to be as accurate as my floor pump.

hi Alee
would be cool to have some recommendations of good pumps to carry along too for touring (with a gauge perhaps)

In reply to Ken. It sounds like increased pressure will avoid that happening on your next ride.

I have a Gitane Tandem and last weekend cycled over a Rail Trail (old rail formation). We travelled 10km in one direction up a hill, and then 10km back the same way. On the way up, no issues. (approx 10kmph) On the way down, 2 punctures (approx 30kmph). One rear and one front puncture. Rear first at the 5km halfway point, the front was flat at the end of the day when we packed up. The rear tube was pinched on the external perimiter, the front was pinched on the inside perimiter. I had the both tyres at 36psi all day. I’ll definately increase the pressure and change tyres.

In reply to Wakatel Lu'um. We would appreciate it if you could provide some links to the studies you've read!

I don’t mean to sound negative but I believe it’s now proven that lower pressure tyres are actually less inclined to receive punctures as the tyre conforms better and my understanding is also that tyres pumped to maximum are not actually faster either…this can now be found generally anywhere on the web…
