Title: bike pump from argos
Post by: Glen on March 30, 2009, 01:02 PM

I need a pump, can anyone tell me if argos sells pumps that fit a bmx valve?  There are a few listed online but none say what kind of valve they have, except one thats for MTB - I have no idea what valves they use.  thanks

from memory there are schraeder and prester (  spelling?  ) valves, i think most pumps from argos with have a schraeder fitting, but halfords might be a better bet as they had some ok pumps in there

this does both and is cheap as chips....

and FYI MTB's use Presta Valves - never schrader

personally i would avoid Argos.....

try this a £6 more but a quality brand and free next day shipping.
