Adam Colins 2 Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Hi All, I am looking for a retract pump or something to adapt 12vlt maybe any ideas... I don't fancy paying £50 for a new one when i know i have one around but cannot for the life of me find it... Any advice would be greatly received... Thanks Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon H Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 I have the same pump, got from amazon i think for about a tenner. You can get them at petrol stations too. I wired up and inline switch and we are good to go. Ignore the pressure gauge though, what it says and the actual truth are probably 30psi apart!

Geoff S Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Why not use a decent pedal cycle track pump? The one I have does both Presta and Shrauder valves, though I only use it for Presta. It has a gauge and will easily reach 100 psi and more if needed. We have 26" fattish tyres on the tandem it takes very few strokes to go from zero to 90psi. The electric pump Donald illustrates looks very like one I bought a few years ago when it was on offer at a local petrol station. It works from the cigar lighter socket but is very noisy and quite slow for car/van tyres but they are much bigger volume than either bike or retract tanks.

Engine Doctor Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Keep an eye on Aldi . They often sell battery powered air pump similar size to an electric drill. Work ok but battery is just so so. I put a lithium battery in it and it's now brilliant . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the perfections of my condition is semi deafness, Well, I'm nearly 77 and also somewhat deaf but a decent pump takes very little effort and, who knows, a little gentle exercise might be beneficial Geoff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
