Let us be frank and state with absolute clarity that a drum pump is not an example of bike gear by any stretch of the imagination. No one has ever seen a bike that has been constructed with this particular piece of equipment serving as one of its constituent parts. Never has the mechanical function of a bike depended to any extent on this particular piece of equipment. And the reason for this is very simple. That reason is that this particular piece of equipment is not in any way or to any extent to be considered a type of bike gear.
NOTHING CAN BE GAINED FROM SEEING A DRUM PUMP AS A TYPE OF BIKE GEAR
Let us also be clear and state with absolutely no equivocation that absolutely nothing can be gained by the exercise of thinking of this particular piece of equipment as a type of bike gear. Nothing can be gained from this exercise because it is not reflective of reality. This particular piece of equipment is not a type of bike gear and therefore thinking of it as such will cause the thinker to run into problems. This is especially true if the thinker bases some of his or her actions upon this faulty premise.
It is an axiom that the Bike Gear and Stuff Blog strictly adheres to that we must base all of our actions on premises which are based in reality. Any other type of behavior will always result in problems eventually. This is true because reality is real and true and in order to operate within this reality the operations must also be real and true. It might be possible for a person to operate based on faulty assumptions in the short term but over the long term this will always end up problematically.
