I need a pump, can anyone tell me if argos sells pumps that fit a bmx valve? There are a few listed online but none say what kind of valve they have, except one thats for MTB - I have no idea what valves they use. thanks

i dont know a lot about mtb's but i'm sure they have the same schraeder valve that bmx's have

from memory there are schraeder and prester ( spelling? ) valves, i think most pumps from argos with have a schraeder fitting, but halfords might be a better bet as they had some ok pumps in there

this does both and is cheap as chips....

and FYI MTB's use Presta Valves - never schrader

try this a £6 more but a quality brand and free next day shipping.
