Tyre Pressures

[inaperfectworld]

topeak mini morph. you can get pressure to 100 without much trouble. it has a little pull down for your foot and a flexible attachment so you can use it like a small track pump. worth the money (about£25when i bought mine)

I picked up on the day a cheap £2.99 job from Home Bargains. It's a mini pump and the barrel is metal and it works !!
Better than the crap £12 one my LBS skanked me with when I bought my bike last year.

Although I have a track pump it has no gauge.
I did actually get to use one with gauge and was shocked to see I only have 40psi in my tyres.
Looks like I will have to pump a bit harder !

Any recommendations for a good track pump?

I bought one when I got my road bike a few months ago, but despite the £30 something price tag, it's rubbish. The preasure guage is nonsense. When pumping, unless I hold the valve end at just the right angle, it lets out more air then it puts in....the resulting one handed crouching pumping is inefficient at best! lol

Been using my mini pump but it's fairly hard work, and with no guage I can't be sure I'm getting to the right preasures

If you've paid £30 for a track pump and it's rubbish I should go and ask for your money back.
I got one in a sale at Decathlon years ago and it's still going strong.
