OMG, I stumbled upon a BIG help. Yesterday I cycled twice for an hour each time really easy. The secret is a heating pad. I turned it up to max and when it got too hot I turned it down to med. The pump worked great... Who knew, roasted nuts pumps easier and is less painful.
Anybody else tried this?
It seems about every day or two I see someone else post about a pump they think is broken or it's too hard to squeeze.
I Feel like there should be a FAQ sheet pinned to this forum so these answers are easy for people to find.
Or like a tools and tips thread (punny?) Then again that could become arduous with many pages to sift through over time....
Anyway I'm still 9 days from my inflation appointment.
Using my heating pad daily to help soften things up.
Cheers!
