Can I use a bicycle pump to fill air in this?

Has a very large opening to inflate it so would need to find a way to seal when doing so. I used duct tape..

Probably not. The opening is about an inch in diameter. You need a mattress pump or hairdryer. A bicycle pump does have the pressure or the right size nozzle to inflate the mattress.

It's a pretty standard valve. That being said, your regular bicycle pump or air compressor won't work without an adapter. But any standard hand or electric pump that is for pumping air mattresses, etc will work. I used a hand pump that came with an air mattress to pump up my towable. They sell for 10 bucks or less

Shannon, no, it does not come with a pump. A bicycle pump works fine to fill with air.

I returned mine. I originally bought it for my bike tires and it was the wrong type of air pump. So it might be the wrong type for you too.

The ball simply has a little tubular opening in the vinyl into which a smooth (or ridged) conical nozzle will fit snugly. A bicycle pump has a screw nozzle which will not fit the ball. You may be able to find an adapter to fit the bicycle pump but I have never seen one. A pump for an air bed might work though.

I suspect you could but I used a small power air pump...mostly because I had to inflate 11 of them. Might take a bit of strength and time with bike pump. Check for inexpensive electric air pump.

Yes, although it doesn't move a whole lot of air on the pumping, you could pump tires up with it. It just might take a while though but it's really compact. I recommend getting the CO2 cartridge kits. They're really compact and much faster.

I used an electric air pump because it took too long to use a bicycle pump! The tubes are great quality especially for the price!!!!

No you will have to get an electric pump you will never get it filled with a bike pump.

easiest way is to just connect a bike pump hose - not the pump - just the hose and it will deflate slowly - leave in an aerated place because they inside air smells bad - you may have to sit on it to help deflation

An air mattress pump works best. But I have an air compressor, that we wrapped a washcloth around the nozzle to fill. As it is not meant to take a standard air compressor nozzle, this worked best.

You need to use a pump made for air mattresses. Amazon sells them for around $20, maybe less. Be sure to use a pump that (1) has multiple valve adapters, particularly one that is long and skinny--sort of like a needle, but NOT a needle; and (2) has a "reverse" feature that will allow you to suck the air out using the same adapter. Trying to get the air out of the mattress by putting you weight on it and squeezing open the valve will take forever. As far as a bicycle pump is concerned, I have seen (I think I actually own one) some adapters that might work, but bike pumps don't have the ability to pull the air out like most air mattress pumps do.

If you mean the "bean" filled w/air I have seen them at Big 5 sporting goods. Other sporting stores may carry. If you mean the air compressor portion, any bicycle pump will work.If you meant some other part please explain further. I gave the set away to a friend since it hurt my knees. Hope this helps. Carol

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?

You need to provide an air compressor of some kind. I've heard about some success using a bike pump but an electric air compressor will provide the best results

My adult son blew ours up by mouth, and admitted it took a bit of doing, so if you use the mattresses frequently, a pump of some sort would definitely be handy. Unless you have an adapter, I don't think a bicycle pump will work. Pumps for other inflatables (kayaks, air matresses, dinghys, etc.) might work. Coleman sells an inflatable air bed hand pump for around $20 on Amazon. There are electric pumps available too.

Yes you can use any air pump. The shocks come with some small air line and a standard air fitting (like the air fitting on a car tire). So they can be filled or drained just as you would on a car or bicycle tire. Whatever air source you choose to fill them does not have to remain connected. It is mearly used to inflate the shocks up to a desired pressure.
