How do you inflate tyres?

Answer 1

Be sure the pump you are using has a Presta head on it. If your pump doesn't have both, an adapter is available at bike shops for around a dollar.
The Presta valve must be manually unscrewed before attempting to inflate, to permit airflow in either direction. The screw, located at the tip of the valve, remains within the valve housing even after it is unscrewed; unscrewing the valve permits the plug to move up and down within the housing. It must be unscrewed before attaching a tire pump.

Once unscrewed, tap the tip of the valve to allow a small bit of air to escape to release the air seal in the valve.

With the pump in place, lock the pump head on with the lever on the pump. Most pumps will be locked with the lever in the up position.
As an added measure, before pumping, you might brace the valve by hooking one finger around the valve to reduce the chance of damaging it during inflation.

Pump with a slow, strong and steady motion to reduce fatigue (yours) until the desired tire pressure is reached. Change the lever to the unlock position to remove it.

Once the tire pump is removed, the valve should be screwed down to prevent accidental air leakage. A screw cap provides protection to the valve top, although the cap is not necessary to keep air from leaking.

Answer 2

1) identify which valve you've got, there are Schrader(like on a car), Presta (considerably narrower, manual seal) and Dunlop, (easily serviceable). 2) Find/buy a pump with the correct nozzle for your valve 3) locate the pressure recommendation on the tire, memorize this and try not to exceed it. 4) Attach nozzle to valve and inflate until pressure recommendation is reached.

Answer 3

Schrader valves are the same as the valves on car tires. How to inflate depends on what pump or compressor nozzle you have. Some have a small clamp that'll hold the nozzle in Place by itself. Others are simply pushed against the valve to open it and let the air through.

Answer 4

Unless you have adapter, or is able to make one - you can't.

Answer 5

You use a pump, with a nozzle that fits the valve of the tube. There are a couple of different types. www.sheldonbrown.com, www.bicycletutor.com or www.parktool.com will tell you how.

Answer 6

Unscrew the protective cap. Unscrew the small locknut on the valve spindle. Depress the valve spindle to unstick it. Connect pump, make sure you have the right nozzle. Inflate.

Answer 7

you need a sutible bicycle pump. you remove the cap on the tire, attach your pump and use the action on the pump. remove the pump air should not release and re attack cap ! :)
