so i got this real good deal again on specialized tri spokes from a guy on craigslist. anyway so i brought them out today to prep them up for the LA triathlon when i realized that my pump wont fit the little pocket where the tube valve fits through.

in other words, what do you use to pump tubes up. a regualr tube head wont fit the small pocket of space where the tire valve fits in! Ive tried a regualr pump, a hand pump (it actually did inflate a bit) but they all make the tire kind of soft still

Go to your LBS and get one of these. You put it on the wheel and then inflate the piece sticking off at ninety degrees.
