Mini pumps

I had first written "me and you" and then thought that was wrong because you are supposed to put the other person first or something.. then swapped it for the you and I thing. Considering the volume I type and the fact I'm working at the same time, I'm doing ok. I see more mistakes in newspapers and those fuckers get paid to write shit.

I think Lezyne pumps are the very best.

Whichever version is correct, mashton is banned :)

I knew I was taking a risk. Oh well, this place is ovaaaaaahhhhhh.

Hang on, I'm still here.

I propose we refer to mashton as 'that lanky cunt'.

I was going to offer that you are lanky too, andy. But I imagine that the lack of riding due to being a daddy has turned you into a fat, greasy slacker?

Nope, I'm still a lanky cunt too. :-)

i am a scrawny cunt - allegedly on the interwebz

Anyone over 5'8" is a lanky cunt, who is using too much of the worlds resources to gain such altitudes.

For shame!

You do realise that incudes me? The day someone calls me lanky is the day is the day Beth Ditto is considered to be wasting away..

Shhhh, don't bring this back from the dead.

^ I wish I never clicked that link

get a mini morph. done.

close thread.

thread really should be closed

it's such a a good pump that i use it for regular tire inflation. 100+ psi no problem.

+1 Me too... I have the slightly bigger one, the Road Morph... It's got a pressure gauge and everything. Yeah it's my main pump... 140psi? No probs...

It’s taken me a while to react to this, as I didn’t know the answer fully. A bit of research was required, and I'm not sure I've got it right.

No, that’s you and I, Oli.

You and ME.

I’ll grant you the accent but get the fucking grammar correct.

Why is it me and not I?

I’m not sure in that case. One would say “I speak English with a funny accent” (not “me speak English with a funny accent”), so I’m tempted to agree with Hippy?

No doubt Oliver will correct us all soon.

(you should have just said “us”, Hippy).

[aussie accent] Thats you and me both, bruce [/aussie accent]

Defo ‘me’.

I had first written “me and you” and then thought that was wrong because you are supposed to put the other person first or something.. then swapped it for the you and I thing. Considering the volume I type and the fact I’m working at the same time, I’m doing ok. I see more mistakes in newspapers and those fuckers get paid to write shit.

‘You and me’ is correct in this case. At first, I thought it had to be because ‘I’ is the nominative of the first person singular personal pronoun and only used for the subject of a sentence, not an object. However, that sentence is an identity statement and given that the sentence doesn't have an object, it would be a rather strange case of object usage in a sentence.

I don’t know the grammatical term, in English grammar, for a noun phrase like the one in which this occurs, and I’m not sure how contemporary English grammarians would analyse it—couldn’t find anything and it’s a long time since I did any of this, so this may be wrong. However, it seems that the reason is the strength, in English, of a sort of equivalent to the French ‘forme tonique’ of a personal pronoun:

http://66.46.185.79/bdl/gabarit_bdl.asp?id=3406

It seems that there are certain cases where in order to add emphasis, the form ‘me’ ('moi' in French) is used instead of ‘I’, but I don’t think that ‘me’ in this case is grammatically the same form (although it obviously sounds the same) as the ‘me’ that is required in phrases like ‘to me’ or ‘for me’, i.e. what may roughly be described as a vestigial form of the original Old English cases (dative and accusative having faded in unsystematic modern English grammar).

This may well stem from Norman influence—don’t know if that’s the case, though. I don’t know whether there are particular rules for this form, either—it seems that for the purpose of determining whether it’s the non-’forme tonique’ (‘I’) or the ‘forme tonique’ (‘me’) depends on applying your general familiarity with the language to the method that mashton uses:

Because them’s the rules.

To determine it, take the other person(s) out of the sentence and recast it. Then use the same personal pronoun.

e.g.

You would say: “No that’s me, Oliver.”
not “No that’s I, Oliver”.

Hence it becomes: “No that’s you and me, Oliver”.

Ta Da!

Anyway, this guess may be completely wrong, and corrections by proper grammarians would be appreciated.

Thanks for the analysis Oliver, 'tis much appreciated.

For those of you who would like a précis of the above: Me fucking rulez.

What we need is a pump off.

Just to add.. I bought a lezyne little pump. It's so bloody small and easy to use- loving the connection hose, having ripped off two vavles with my blackburn recently it's nice to have something that actually fits a presta valve properly.

Just waiting for a flat now!

The Specialized Windpipe that I use is underated I think. With 2 stage pumping, it can be attached to a tyre that already has 120psi in it, and can be effortlessly increased to 140psi. should one need/wish to do so. Max 220psi.

Also, the guage is very accurate, and certainly more legible than the very nice Lezyne (with guage). 300psi.

whats the difference with HVG, HPG, HP,HV? I presume high pressure, high volume. whats the G?

G = with built in Goodness (or Guage if you like......I prefer Goodness).

i just bought an Archies Ninja, what pump would fit in the pump loops? I have 2 pumps and neither fits :-(

I have one of these.

It's good cos it's a cO2 inflator and hand-pump in one.

Does the trick but build quality is mediocre.

buggered if I know. Mine is v small, cost about 27 quid from cycle surgery and goes up to 120psi... thats about the extent of my knowledge. It's a hand pump at the end of the day—*it's never going to replace my track pump. So as long as it gets me home ok at 120psi then I'm happy—*my last pump could probably only manage about 70 or something shit.

booo - £60 fanny pack and your pump doesn't fit?
