    I feel so dumb. I'm 47 and have been a truck driver for 24 years. I know how to put air in a tire. I bought a new mountain bike and have never used the presta valves. My tires keep getting lower and lower and I couldn't figure out why. I mean I've been putting air in them. The last time I tried the gauge was reading 100 psi. I knew something was wrong then. So I turned to UA-cam. As you probably already have guessed I haven't been opening the valves. LOL. Thanks for the info.

    Thank you for actually showing the pressure gauge. Apparently the only pump I ever bought is leaking gas no matter how hard I try to attach it or how I operate the lever. Been wondering for 3 years now whether it is normal that the gauge keeps dropping and I have to pump like mad. To keep around anywhere the recommended pressure level.

    You didn't mention THE TAP on the Presta valve prior to attaching a charger. I noticed that because I just learned that necessary "trick" in another video where it was pointed out as "non-intuitive," which it isn't. If you don't know that you need to tap the open Presta valve SO THAT IT SEALS, you're in trouble.

    Wait, so the valve lock is engaged in the up position? Every pump I’ve ever had you slide the pump over the valve and then push down to lock it. Is this the new thing? My Black & Decker pump is right in the manual you click the lever down to lock it on. Am I just wacky?

    Hi, great video! I recently purchased a Trek Allant+ 7S ebike with Presta valves on the tires. I had only used Schrader valves before so the video came in handy. I purchased your Bontrager Dual Charger Floor pump to use. The max pressure for my Schwalbe G-One tires is 54psi and they are 2.4" wide. Should I be using the HV or HP setting on the pump? And why is there a pressure release button by the Guage? Thank you.

    I'm looking at the FAQ for the Dual Sport 2.
    It says I can ask a question, but there is no link or other way which I can see to ask a question.
    Not a user friendly webpage.
    My question is whether the Dual Sport 2 (3 & 4 also) come with Schrader or Presta valves.

    Muy útil, la verdad es que casi nunca uso las presiones recomendadas, la mínima ya se siente extremadamente dura para mi gusto, aunque es verdad que tiende más a pinchar, quizá debería probar nuevamente ya que ya tengo un poquito más de tiempo sobre la bicicleta. Veamos si tengo mejores sensaciones que al principio.

    • @trekbikes
      @trekbikes  4 роки тому +1

      Tire pressure varies since the shops would inflate them during assembly. We suggest adjusting your tire pressure to work with the trails you ride on. Lower tire pressure is great for loose surfaces like dirt and gravel where a higher tire pressure is great for pavement.
