Floor and mini pump reccomendations please

supermonkey

I'm looking for both a floor pump and a mini pump.

For the floor pump I'd like a good quality unit with a gauge at the top (Rather than the bottom), effortless pumping power and good durability. I don't mind spending a bit of money but I don't want to spend needlessly. Any recommendations?

The mini pump doesn't have to be that mini just as long as it fits in a CamelBak Mayhem. Rather than super compact I'm looking for pumping efficiency and durability again. Any recommendations on this one as well?

Cheers.

Just had the Crank Brothers Power Pump Pro delivered very impressed with size, just over 6 inch and the build quality. Seems to perform very well for such a small pump. Only snag is pressure gauges faces the rim in use.

SKF compressor for the track pump, topeak mountain morph is excellent, being a mini track pump rather than a full blow mini, and it fits perfectly into a camelbak chaos

I've just bought the crank brothers power pump alloy and its pretty good but it is quite hard to push, on the flip side it doesn't take all that long. its got both high volume and high pressure modes. I found that once i got to 30psi on my 26x2.3 tyres i needed to switch to high pressure but that quickly got it up to 40. looks good too. alu body won't seem to break. as mentioned the gauge is a great feature but faces the rim although is still readable.

i bought it after getting annoyed with a topeak harpoon dx mini pump. it had an extendable shaft thing that kept knocking and didn't feel as sturdy as the new crank bros one. the body got dented quite easily at one point and the frame holder seemed to snap a bit too easily. It's not playing ball when gripping schraeder valves either - as in you can't pump at all. i've not had a look but was happy for an excuse to get a new pump

a friend has a topeak mini pump which puts air in the tube when you push AND pull on the handle which is good i think. didn't seem to take too much effort to get a tyre up to pressure either.

also just bought a topeak joe blow sprint after thinking lidl ones would be ok and it feels 100 times better to use. I'd have thought a track pump would be quicker to inflate the tyre but at least it takes no effort to take it up to 40psi+

i'd recommend both ones i currently have.

Thanks for the recommendations guys. I think I'm going to go for a Mountain Morph as I like the idea of a mini track pump.

For the actual track pump I was thinking about this:

Its predecessor has got very good reviews on MTBR. Anyone have any experience of one or an opinion on it?

Cheers.

From Edinburgh Bike, no problems at all.

£35 is a lot to spend on a track pump, in my opinion

They work just fine on my roadie too

I would secon the Blackburn vote TBH I have both floor and mini and they are reliable good performers.
