*Hand Pumps may require immense strength to reach the required pressure, often they are used to add just enough pressure to get you home or the nearest gas station. Before starting your ride it is highly recommend to use a stand Floor Pump equipped with a pressure gauge to avoid overfill and exhaustion. (IYKYK)
