I think we are very aware of how to pump a bike, the only thing in this video that anybody could learn is that there are 2 different valves, and they don't even show what they look like. I'm unsubscribing now.

@iSwallowed i third that, not sure how to get it on right

That wheel is missing a couple of spokes.

@GamersWeekly123 I second that, I get everything right to the point of latching and locking the pump head onto the valve -- it just locks on half way, not all the way like in the vid and when I pump it just doesn't inflate - anyone have any tips? Many thanks

Well never! Laugh out loud!
