This video is the reason why, GCN, is the best damn, cycling show ever. It is the cycling show that appeals to all cyclist, from beginners, which is the most important, and to professional elites. From the novice to the snob. A truly democratic show. Imagine doing this task everyday, and not being boring or dull. I have been riding for 40 years, and yet, I still watched this video on how to inflate a bicycle tire. WHY?? Because the way it was explained and presented by Simon and GCN, is a model of how things need to be explain,.Again, KUDOS to GCN!!

Hi, I'm 74, and have been riding since I was 5, off and on (no pun). In 1984 I bought a beautiful, skinny-tire, high end road bike and rode it for about 20 years, thousands of miles. Then since 2007 or so I was just riding occasionally, on vacation on any conch bike available. This week I bought a new Schwinn Cabo cruiser bike, online. It arrived today and I had to put it together and then "adjust" everything. Four hours later, I'm done. I had to release air from the feont tire to get it on, Then I was unable to get rhe air pumped in again. Whether it was just pausing and starting over or watching the video. It's now ready to go and I took it for a spin. Now to install my lights, mirror, bell and basket and I'll be done.

How about a GCN does science on how much pressure is lost during an efficient pump removal because I know that not all the air you hear is from the pump hose.

@ethansloss6854 8 жыл бұрын

It's less than 1 PSI

@exe16 8 жыл бұрын

Depends on how much pressure is there to begin with. On MBT (pressures up to 60psi) it's barely noticeable, but on road bikes (110psi+) it may be up to 5psi if your pump is of the screw-type, from my experience.

@ethansloss6854 8 жыл бұрын

Patrick Arredon I am relaxed and having fun and you seem not. +HaNooo You just illustrated how GCN can make broader range of topics and that's why they present some interest for sponsors and viewers alike. Most of viewers, I believe, would not be digging in old archives. So, topics refreshment videos look reasonable to me.

So helpful. When I was young I used a bike with a Presta valve so was confused when my new one came. And didn’t know you needed to lose a bit of air to find the right fit before fitting the valve (which on my model the flap went up rather than down to lock, opposite of what I was expecting!) Amazing what can stump you when you’ve left something for about 20 years!

+Global Cycling Network exactly, your videos helped me no end when I was starting cycling last year, and thanks to you I now have a good knowledge of my bike and how to maintain it confidently, but I still like to watch these videos to keep that knowledge fresh :)

@theylivewesee1674 8 жыл бұрын

no this was really informative, but you must understand that GCN is growing in subscribers numbers so they have many newcomers to cycling who dont have any knowledge so it is a good idea for them to learn something, I've been following GCN since 2013 and learned so much over the years

hey i appreciate this video a lot. i have an old west coast chopper jesse james bike and after sitting for 15 years the innertubes rotted out so they don't hold any air anymore. my old tubes were schrader and my new ones are presta so this helped me out. making a trip to get an adapter so i can get riding again after all these years. cheers!
