Thanks for suggestions all - will try the Summer Skull cap as see it has mesh. I had previously dismissed these as I use something when it’s colder.... but that skull cap is warm vs mesh Etc. Doh!!

I will try the bandana solution also but in hot climates, I’ve been known to have sweat dripping from the peak of my cap playing golf so it will be interesting to see how these cope after a couple of hours.....

What, one of these?

Ahh, I mind well of these beasts at the Mildenhall Air Shows back in t'day before the world became security obsessed. always looked forward to them and a great day out with good USAF hospitality, monster burgers, tacos and properly cold cans of fizzy pop etc - !

Anyone got one? How much force does it take to blow a tyre up to 90psi? The one I have at the moment, even with my (8-yr-old) son balanced on top of the handle putting his full weight on it, can only get up to about 40psi.

Very easy to get to 120 psi should you wish.

I have one, good, sturdy, reliable pump, you will have no probs pumping, even over 100 psi.

@BrumJim i’ve got this pump. The pump is the same as you say children struggle to pump up above 40psi. To get up to about 90psi it is about 10-15 strokes of the pump and it gets up to about 120psi before it starts to struggle a little. The head is serviceable and it does both presta and schraeder.

I wouldn’t like to use it for track use where you use high pressures.

 

[Darius_Jedburgh]

IIRC there are two versions of this pump. I think one goes to approx 130 and the other goes to 180psi. Of course there may only be one version now. My supposedly higher pressure one inflates to 90/100psi with no trouble at all. A good pump.

Thanks. I think you answered my question. With my current pump I can get up to 110psi without too much trouble, but my son can only get up to 40 without help. Looks like I will have to wait until he gets heavier before he can do his own tyres.

Blimey, I've got a Lidl special that does 100psi easy...

Hi all, I sweat far too much to wear glasses. When pushing, I get through so much liquid it’s insane. Have never been able to get on with glasses as a result!
Does anybody have any ideas on solutions? Now that I am contending with flies, insects/midges etc, I am tempted to try again.....

Skullcap or cap

^^^^ This.

I use a Castelli Bandana and their headband on really hot days.

I think it's more that the amount of effort required is too much for the 8 year old rather than its too much for the pump, if I read that correctly.

These 8 year olds nowadays, mollycoddled, look at that boy on the Hovis ad on that hill, wasn't even wearing lycra, bet he could have blown your tyres up 😊

Correct indeed.
