    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Inflating rear tire with air pump from gas station

I see you got a "G" no chain or sprocket to get in the way should you try from the other side.
I just use a ordinary bicycle tire pump, that way I get the stone cold pressures, I don't have to pay, wait for the compressor to build up pressure, or try to make a good hose to valve connection, and I don't like those funky gauges on the hose which I don't trust anyway.

I carry about 10 of those C02 cartridges when I'm on a day road trip or something...maybe I ought to get a slime pump.

Good idea. If you have a slow leak, you can still get home safely if you have a pump. With CO2, you're very limited -- it takes four or five just to fill a rear tire enough to ride.
 
I use one of those 90 degrees valve adaptors.

The one at the station I use has a longer rubber hose between the handle and the fitting, so i simply go in between the spokes as close to the hub as I can and bend it...goes right on the stem without any troubles.
