I need a good pump,fnar fnar

I don't know if its because I am just too weedy or what but I struggle getting my tires pumped up to the recommended 120lbs/square inch with my track pump I bought from Halfrauds. Does anyone know a good track pump which you don't have to put your entire weight on to pump those pesky tires?

SKS Rennkompressor is the One True Track Pump aka The Way, The Light[1] & The Track Pump.

Quite a few others are also pretty good though. Reviews here:

[1] Well, the Quite Heavy actually on account of the cast base. Recommended for use in hand to hand combat, as long as you're somewhere you can get a good swing going.

Blackburn Air Tower is what I use, 120psi in 12 strokes, will go up to 160psi if need be and you don't need to be The Incredible Hulk to use it either

McBain_v1- which Blackburn Air Tower do you use? 1/2/4/5?

I've got one of their track pumps too - only one of the cheaper efforts but still has a metal barrel and pressure gauge. Very pleased with it, so no intention of switching away from Blackburn any time soon (after reading the footie news the other day, not something you'll hear David Bentley saying much at the moment ).

I've had a few track pumps in my time and the Blackburns have always been the best (the one I'm using atm is about 12 years old and still fine - I did have an a 10 year break from cycling in the middle though ). When it's time to change I'm going to get the TP-5.
