    Some pumps have a gauge that shows the pressure of air that is forced into the tire. Once the tire is at the correct pressure, the pump valve can be removed from the tire, and the cap can be replaced on the tire valve. There are two main types of tire valves to which the bicycle tire pump attaches. These are the Presta valve and the Schrader ...
