What do I do to fix a flat? I tried a bike pump and the valve was too big, is there a specific size?

Thats odd. I use a standard bike pump to air our tires. Maybe you have the wrong attachment on your pump?

My husband said you need a bike pump with a "schraeder valve" not a "presta valve". We got an awesome bike pump for $20 at Walmart. It has both. I have to air my tires up about one a week. The more air the smoother the ride.

I use my bike pump all the time, it fits fine... Could it be that you didn't lock it after you put the valve in? I've forgotton that step, and the pump definitely won't work until it's locked.Also, one of the best investments I've ever made is the portable air compressor that runs off the car cigarette lighter. I bought it at a local hardware store for around $20, and I see that Amazon has one for $26. I use it all the time for pumping up sports balls, bike tires, and the BOB.

I use a standard bike pump as well... When I had the same problem with a flat tyre, I took the tyre to my local bike shop where I got the right pump. It now lives with the pram. Hope this helps.

The bike pump always works for me but I have changed out all my tubes for thicker more durable tubes from the bike shop. It has helped a lot but I still get flats occasionally.

From what I've done with this pump, I feel that the only way to use this pump with other sized valves would be to use an external converter that could probably be purchased here or at any bike store or department store. It's possible though that there are different "versions" of this product that may come with other attachments, it's just that mine did not. Hope this helps!

A standard bike pump will do - or just take it to a gas station with a pump Be careful though , it only needs 22psi (lots of tires are 30 plus) so don't overfill

Would be overkill for bicycle. Would only fit shrader valve. They have bicycle specific kits that don't have plug kits that would be better.

They don't provide a valve and it would make it much easier if you could just pump it up. Blowing it up took so long that i eventually quit and tossed the wedge out when I got home. You would need a bicycle floor pump and a half hour to pump it up. Getting it flat after it is inflated is a challenge also.

I would recommend getting a standard bicycle tire pump. This pump does not have the ness essay fitting to pump up a tire.

You can get adaptor to go on valve stem so you can fill air anywhere. Adaptor at any bike shop one dollar.

Any bike pump that fits a Schrader valve (the thicker valve size that is also found on all regular car tires) will do the job.

I had to modify a bicycle pump to make sure i get a nice tight seal.....lots of pumping!

No reason to go flat unless there is a hole somewhere!We have been using this Aerobed for years and still giving us a good service without any problem.Check for the leak and a patch would do the job.Good luck.

Jess, sorry this took so long!! Ken is right, I also used Kenda 700X 35/43 Schrader Long Valves. Had to go to an actual bike shop that was an authorized Schwinn dealer. Normal stores that carry Schwinn products will NOT have these tubes, they are too 'special'. Oh, when I went to the bike shop, just brought the front tire with me and the gentlemen found what I needed in seconds. Good luck!!

I don't know. I gave it as a gift to my nephew. He loves it. Have you tried just a regular bicycle tire pump?

Me neither....until now, it is a large valve about an inch in diameter(not like a car/bike tube valve). search amazon for an airhead pump. I would have gotten from amazon but it would not have arrived in time. I got one from Dicks, it was about the same price as amazon.

It's a very long stem vàlve, forgot the name of it, but I always take the old one with me to the bike store for replacement. Hope this helped.

We ran into to that and it was the bike pump we were using, my husband used the connection for the air compresser and that fixed our issue with it. We have not tried to find a hand pump for it yet since the air compresser is handy for us.

The bike has presta valve inner tubes so i would suggest any air pump that has presta valve or you can buy a little adapter for shrader valve that cost maybe $5.

It's a tire not a tube. The tube determines the valve type. This will work with any correct size tube
