Need a new track pump..........

Mozza1

...........anything to recommend/avoid?
Need to goto 140PSI & inflate everything that needs inflating.
Only got a max. of £30 to spend.

passout

Planet X were doing track pumps for £10 - worth a look.

Topeak Joe Blow is pretty good for that money and pretty solid.

yup they're good

The bikehut one from halfords is good £25-£30 and auto valve switching.

Any other reccomendations ? Mine died on Friday after a good ten years loyal service. I'd like my next one to last as long ideally.

Halfords have the Joeblow on sale for 23.99

I can't comment on the Joe Blow, but I have a topeak Mini Morph pump for when I'm out and it's fantastic.

My track pump is a Blackburn Air Tower 2, which is also very good - but a bit hit and miss as to whether the Presta connector will blow off at ~100psi, it's quite fiddly to get it on properly.

just buy whatever your lbs is stocking!

My LBS wanted 40 quid for a Joeblow :shock:

I want a good one - not just any old pump.

Topeak track pumps get good reviews from most places, but you should look for yourself.

I've had the Joe Blow Sprint (34.99 & 160 psi) for a year or so and find it great for bike tyres slim or fat and footballs big or small.

+1 for the Blackburn Airtower 2.

I did have incidences of the Presta connector blowing off at 100psi but think it was a result of the long valve being smooth for half its length. Once I went back to tubes with valves with thread for the full length it stopped happening and its good to 120+psi.

I think it also comes with a lifetime guarantee.

Ta for the advice - went with the halfords Joe Blow cos it was on offer, good reviews and I could pick it up during lunch.

Cheers !
