Which track pump?

http://www.merlincycles.co.uk/?fn=produ ... egoryId=79 - Blackburn

Or

http://www.evanscycles.com/product.jsp?style=14610 - Bonty

Don't want to spend to much, and I haven't heard of Blackburn as a brand so not sure which would be best?

Any thoughts?

Thanks chaps.

Personally i'd go for the Blackburn one - Its cheaper and has free delivery at Merlin. They'll both do the same job

aldi were doing one a couple of weeks back for about £10 if I remember right. I got one myself and it's excellent. Have a little check in your local aldi before shelling out. Was in LBS the other week and there was a fella getting spieled to death and talked into spending about £30 on an all singing all dancing alloy tubular model.... Was dying to tell him to go 500 yds down the road to Aldi

If it's the same one I've got in my garage (silver) it was £4.99 at my local Aldi (end of the road) and it's bloody good. It fills my tyres up with the highest quality air available....... all for £4.99.

Check them out...

Blackburn have a noquibble lifetime guarantee,and good spares availability.

Halfords were selling the JoeBlow Sport for a discounted price a few weeks ago, you won't have to wait for delivery, and the JoeBlow's have an excellent reputation.

But it does fill the tyre and is doing just fine for me .... for £4.99 it's very good. This may not apply to the original poster, but could help someone on a tight budget. I had no budget limit but thought it was worth a go and it's been fine.

Couldn't agree more!

I bought a £15 Oxford Deluxe track-pump with a bling digital pressure gauge, and struggled with it for two years before realising it was a piece of junk whilst trying to seat my second set of tubeless tyres

Spending a little more on the JoeBlow has shown me what a track pump is really supposed to be like (and seated my problematic tyre with two pumps of the handle :shock: )

There's a place and time for cheap and cheerful tools & equipment, but once they significantly impact upon your workrate, quality of work,or ease of use then it's time to spend that little bit more!

Went with Blackburn one in the end. Thanks chaps.

Hopefully it will last a good few years, and like a poster above said it has a lifetime guarantee... all good to me. Thanks!
