Hill Mk 4 Adaptors

[sjs]

Sorry, as this is a bit off topic, but I have a Hill pump for my air rifle and I want to use it for pumping up the tires of a bicycle. The adaptors I have for air guns do not work on the bicycle tires and I cannot tell from the Hill website if any of their adaptors will. I sent them an email just now, but I thought one of you guys might know already.

The hill pump is a high pressure low volume pump. It would not be very efficient airing up a tire. For what the adapter parts would cost if you could find them you could buy a buy a bicycle pump. They are about $10.00 to $15.00 anywhere.

Thank you. I needed to know that.

Like the above post said. Wouldn't it be cheaper to get a bike pump? They are like $10 and will pump up to 100psi. They have more volume so it would be faster to pump up the tire. An pcp hand pump have little volume cause it has 3 to 4 stages of compression to be able to get up to 3000-4000 psi. Try using a pcp hand pump to pump a tire. It will take like over 1000 strokes just to get up to 30 psi on a tire.
