My £10 Asda track pump exploded this morning so I need to get a reliable fast pump for around the £20 mark. My old pump was always a pain with Presta valves as it took several attempts to attach without leaking, so I want a pump very compatible to Presta. I keep both my bikes at 120psi. I've been looking at the Chain Reaction selection: http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Categories.aspx?CategoryID=262 Thanks
The Joe Blow one is good - probably worth stretching the extra £6 for as it will last you forever. Can't believe how much the price has gone up - I got it 2 years ago for £20. Maybe try Ebay too? ps you can use the wee earth logo with a chain link on it above to make a url a link. pretty handy.
120psi? is that dinky racer tyres? I do believe in hard tyres but I'm still on the air the bike came with and LBS advised 80psi, hybrid with thinnish tyres
My Allez has 700 x 23c Spec Mondos and the MTB commuter has 26x1.0" Spec All Condition Pros. About once a week I top up both sets to 120psi.
Anyone got a Decathlon 7000 Track pump? looking at one today for £21, looked pretty good (metal body, guage etc) but would appreciate a review if anyone out there has one.... Ta
I have same road bike. Crackin for me. But different tyres - the Mondos disintegrate in wintertime no matter how hard you pump them. WHEN that happens, this might be of use! http://www.cyclechat.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=1467
i got a wrench force from harry hall about six years ago (cost £25). brilliant, has schrader and presta and guage goes up to 120psi. still going the business with no degredation of the casing or anything.
Ribble (http://www.ribblecycles.co.uk) have a few offers on track pumps at the moment (no connection with them except as a customer)
the decathlon pumps always seem to be falling apart in the shops - maybe because people are touching them all day long. I'd get a joe blow sport all the time and nerver look back. Or for a portable pump a Road morph is excellent. I can get my tyres up to 120psi easily with it.
