Well, what did he say we didn't know from the previous video with him about getting a pump ?

Just bought one today. Bontrager Turbocharger. Very very nice. My road bike loses a lot of air pressure because of the very light and thin tubes, but my XC bike has a pair of excellent tubes, and they keep their pressure almost constant for over a week.

@Rikuisthebeast1 the zefal hpx is a nice frame fitting pump to have. whether or not it's compatible with your bike might be an issue, but either way it's still nice to have. they were selling for around 35 dollars on amazon from a niagar bike. the french make some nice stuff.

riding at 120 on an aluminium bike equals a jarring experience and stress on your rims and spokes. Have you ever had a worn rim blow out? 120 Wow! and I've been riding for over 25 years.
