Recommend me a new track pump - check criteria first!

farrina

Hello all

I wonder if anyone can recommend a track pump - would prefer following

Not plastic
Presta valve only required
Valve attachment to be in line i.e to fall vertically in line with valve (I am fed up with right angled versions twisting the valve stem)
Must have pressure gauge.
Double barrel if possible (would compromise on this).

Many thanks

Alan

A Lezyne, meets your criteria except double barrel

I've got a Silca Plus. It's awesome.

May I confirm the actual model of Lezyne that you are both recommending and in the case of the Silca Plus the valve attachment is in line and does NOT have any form of right angle ( fed up of twisted Presta valves)

Cheers

The Silca has a right-angle connector, but it's REALLY easy to connect and disconnect without bending the valve. Just push it away from the valve from the tyre side instead of trying to pull it off.

About Lezyne floor pumps - they're all basically the same - it's the materials that differ.

The 'flip-thread chuck' is an old school, inline, screw on head (it can be reversed for presta or schraeder). There is an optional 'speed chuck' which screws onto the flip-thread chuck and allows you to press-fit onto a presta valve at right angles (for solid disc wheels). The flip-thread chuck has a pressure release button to let air out of the tyre without taking the chuck off.

Thanks to all for your helpful suggestions - looking like a Lezyne on the cards.
