never had to pump mine up before, but finally they need some air.

my bike pump won't work, but I don't want to overinflate anyways.

what do you guys use to inflate your wheels?

J,

I know they sell a pump on their website but can understand not wanting to fork over more $$.  I haven't had to fill mine either so I too look forward to hearing what others do.

I bought one of those small ball pumps, kind of like this https://secure.ssllink.net/~site1063/cgi-bin/saysoccerstore/photos/181.jpg from sports authority for about $4.00.  I keep it under the seat in my truck.

I'ts only been used a couple of times but has definetely been worth the couple of bucks I spent on it.

I got the cheapest plastic 2 hand bike pump I could find, about an inch in diameter and a foot long with a flex tube,  I tested it and it'll work, but I haven't needed it yet. It doesn't take up much space in the box where I keep my cart (unassembled).

I also use the ball pump.  It is plastic, short, light, easy to store and and almost impervious to salt water.  I carry it in the yak all the time.  Bought mine at WalMart for about $4.  Works great.

Your bike pump will work.
Go to Kragen and buy a set of stem extenders. They are only a couple of bucks. Screw them on and you can inflate the tires with your bike pump no problem.
