What do you think of this one?

It will have to be purchased at Amazon as I have got a £10 voucher. As my current track pump's gauge don't work with my MTB tyres, (works with the road bike though), I was thinking to buy a separate gauge but when I saw the prices, I thought I may as well buy a new pump.

Don't really want to spend mega bucks. Thanks

    Apart for the handle it looks like the Lidl’s one that I brought for £6.99 that’s ok for the money, why not save the voucher for something else and spend a little bit more for something better, have a look at these.

    Got a couple of those lying around, one in the car and one in the house - work fine. Struggle with really high pressures so I have a chunkier one for road tyres, but also a Beto. They are like Wellgo are with pedals - make pumps for loads of other people rebranded.

    I got my Beto for £7, works fine to about 40psi, after that I can't move it at all, even with all my weight on it!

  • Thanks guys for the feedback. The CRC's options look good. Hmmmm decision, shall I save my voucher for something else and spend another £15... Let's see what the financial manager says now

    I had the tripod Beto pump... Rubbish :/ One of the legs broke within a month and even before that it struggles pumping up my Maxxis to over 30 psi...
  • Mu current pump can pump up 120PSI no problem, but the gauge is not working with my MTB's wheels (works fine with the Road bike). I want to make sure that if I buy a pump it is going to work ok

    Gonna get the Topeak but both are meant to be very good for the price.
