Does the "inflation nozzle" allow me to pump the ball up with a bicycle pump? If not, can I purchase an adapter that will allow me to do that?

The ball simply has a little tubular opening in the vinyl into which a smooth (or ridged) conical nozzle will fit snugly. A bicycle pump has a screw nozzle which will not fit the ball. You may be able to find an adapter to fit the bicycle pump but I have never seen one. A pump for an air bed might work though.

The bike's tube has Schrader type of valve. So you will need a pump with adapter for Schrader type.

The short answer is... Yes, it works just fine. I've only used this pump with Schrader valves (same design as car tire valves, and are the most common type in the U.S.), but it should work with Presta valves, too. As for Basketballs & such... You get a "Sports Ball Inflating Needle," latch the pump onto the needle just like you would a bike tube valve, wet the needle a bit (makes it easier), insert it into the hole in the ball, pump to the ball's proper pressure, & remove.

I use an electric pump. You might be able to use a bicycle pump to inflate with the right attachment on the pump. A screw on attachment that is cone shaped might work.

We use a bicycle pump. That is all you need. It pumps up quickly and easily with a bicycle pump. We have launched this tons of times...lots of fun!

Just the bike pump hose. Attached at one end is the valve fittings, the other is threaded to fit the pump. I doubt this will accept "tools" like a pin to inflate a basketball. Just made for bike tubes.

Sorry, I don't have a bicycle to try the nozzles that came with the unit. I've inflated several different types of children balls, pools, even mywife's float for her cold food, but not a bike

Shannon, no, it does not come with a pump. A bicycle pump works fine to fill with air.

Mine had a pump to go with it. Just pump air into the ball as you would on a bike tire.

Hi, this pump should inflate your soccer ball but you need a Sports Ball Air Inflator Needle. Just attach ball inflate needle to Schrader (Not presta )side of pump attachment as you would a tire with a Schrader valve. I tried a sports ball inflate pin with the Topeak Peakini II Mini Pump and there is no problem attaching and locking it in place. I did not have a soccer, football or basketball to pump up though! God Bless!

We used an air compressor with an Air Blow Gun nozzle (http://www.amazon.com/IIT-10010-Piece-Air-Blow/dp/B004GHKASA/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&q;id=1394589490&sr;=8-5&keywords;=air+blow+gun+nozzle). FYI, the nozzle will also attach to most bicycle pumps. We have also used a hand pump from an exercise ball (http://www.amazon.com/action-Floats-Exercise-Hippity-bouncer/dp/B00147OVDA/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid;=1394589622&sr;=8-3&keywor;ds=exercise+ball+hand+pump) to top it off occasionally.

Sorry, I have seen such balls but have no clue what they require for inflation? The pump works great for our air mattress!

I didn't try it, but I would expect it to inflate them very well. You may need to fashion an adapter for the nozzle, as the smallest outlet is about 5/8 inch in diameter. You'll also waste a good bit of battery between balloon changes unless you switch it off in between fillings. But it should work.

No, just use a ball pump. That's what I used. Much faster than blowing it up

It is meant as a sports equipment pump, for balls and the like. It may be used on low pressure tires. If you are looking for something that will inflate bike tires to 40 lbs or more you should consider a pump designed for that. Probably will work in an emergency.

you can use a bicycle pump or just use your mouth. It is very easy to do. Hope this helps you!

Hi There, no I would not recommend this pump to pump balls, as it is designed to clip onto an extruding pipe that comes out of a bike or car tire. Hope that helps
