I know it is stating the obvious, but I have to accept that Buying the cheapest item you can find very rarely works out affective.
I needed a pump for my new bike and after trying really hard accepted that my foot pump and 9 V compressor pump were not going to work, so looked at investing in a new track pump. as with everything in biking, I have realised I am significantly out of touch with today's prices!
I was lucky enough (so I thought) to find a Bell track pump in Asdas for a reasonable price, but as you can imagine it was rubbish. It leaks and does not provide an adequate seal on the Valve. It will probably be returned
Finally I used the search facilities on this forum, and a couple of others and splashed out on a Joe blow sport 2 (£30 Delivered from Evans)
Having just pumped up my tyres I can only comment on how impressed I am. I attached it, couple of pumps, then disconnected when it was at the right pressure all as simple as it should be I guess.
Sorry, bit of a ramble but for me (and maybe a few others) it was a point that I will learn from!
