Which track pump?

Out of these two (unless something else blows them both away, no pun intended):

Joe Blow Mountain:

Or the Lezyne Classic Dirt:

The Lezyne is more money, but tbh I'm looking for something that will last me 20+ years - I'm a big advocate of buy cheap buy twice...

Which one do you reckon? and should I go mountain bike specific?

Lazyne all day long. Their stuff is top notch, got one of the mini pumps and its a work of art(also works well).

But this one in red http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Mode ... elID=36286

Why do you recommend that one over the "dirt" specific version out of interest?

No reason for the Alloy Floor drive over the classic, but for me I would want to spend the extra £5 for a bit of colour 8)

I've had a Joe blow since 1998 and it still works fine, have replaced the valve head once and regreased the innards but I think thats money well spent.

Went for bling and got this bad boy:

Lezyne Alloy Dirt Floor Drive v2
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/330708459717

Its the Version 2 (2012) model which has the Air Bleed System (little button to bleed out for fine tuning)...

Hope to be still using this when I'm old and grey

Good choice on the Lezyne, I have the steel floor drive, and its ace, very nicely made.

Been through 2 plastic pumps before this one, the last one exploded around the hose connection. Never again.

I have had 2 Joe Blows and both failed. First got replaced with the second. Topeak wouldnt replace this. The air bleed botton bleeds all the time. I wont be buying any more Topeak stuff.
