I’m looking for a new mini pump to replace my old one. When I originally got the old one I was running 28” inner tubes. I’m now running 32” tubeless. I’m not actually sure the old mini pump would be able to pump my 32s
I like to attach the pump to the bike and leave it there. I would like one that is easy to attach and detach
I wasn’t considering am electric pump since it’s one more thing to charge.
FYI, going by Cateye’s tire circumference chart, the 32mm tire will have about 31% more volume than the 28mm, if we think of tubeless tire a circular torus (donut). The volume varies with the square of the tire width and linearly with radius of the tire as measured to the center of the tire.
Yep. It took a loooong time and the pressure was lower than I’d like. Main reason for replacing though is that the mini pump is old and not working reliably
where r is the radius of the cross-section, i.e. half the width of the tire, and R is the radius of the torus and is measured from the center to the middle of the circular cross-section. For 700c tires going to a 32mm width from a 28mm results in a 31% increase in volume. If I round to the nearest integer for the numbers, I get: [(32/28)^2]*(359/354)= 1.32, i.e. a 32% increase. My original calculations didn’t use rounded numbers, so I ended up with a 31% increase those numbers. I calculated R based on circumferences in Cateye’s tire circumference chart.
