No, but the Velo Orange Quicker minipump can actually get a narrow tire to 100 psi without too much cursing and anguish. It is also sub 9" and fits in an Adam or Nelson pocket. It's principal defect is that the grip for the stationary hand is too short, meaning that your left hand (if you are right handed) tends to get pinched lightly as each stroke bottoms out. The Quicker is said to have a variable volume stroke, so it ought to work well, too, with fatter, lower pressure tires. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
