I like it, there is no point in it apart from "I can build/make it" like the start of the British Industrial Revolution

His "standard size" track pump hits 600psi.
I wonder if it's possible to make me a tiny one than can top out at 150 using the same construction methods.

chances are that if its smaller, due to the smaller volume you could hit about 1000 psi. . . if you meant just shorten it you would still be able to hit about 300 psi due to the design

yes, the red one has been completed now and im half way through building th blue one! oh and having a pump which can reach 1000 psi to pump up one of those tyres would take days, you would want low pressure high volume (i.e. large cylinder!)

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
