Hi folks.
I have a Blackburn Air Stik[sup]1[/sup] pump which is surplus to requirements. It has seen some use so it is cosmetically not perfect, but it works fine.
I am soon going to be starting a cycling advice website and am busy collecting cycling tips. I already have a big collection, but am looking for more tips which I haven't yet thought of. I'm after simple advice, ideas, or information, nothing too advanced. For instance, Globalti's tip to use talcum powder to 'lube' a tyre to make it easier to get it on a tight rim.
So, your task is to come up with a (sensible!) cycling tip which I haven't heard of before. Post your tips below. I'll collect the names of all of you who qualify and draw the winner from a hat at the end of October. The winner gets the pump and its mounting bracket, if I can find it.
[sup]1[/sup] The pump is the older model with a silver metal body. It is a quality, pretty lightweight pump which is about 11 inches in length when closed. The handle folds back into a T-shape for better grip when pumping. It has a locking mechanism to tighten the grip on a valve before you start to pump. There is an insert in the end which can adapt the pump for Schrader or Presta valves.
