    If you mean Track Pump then Topeak Joe Blow are good enough.

    I have the halfords own brand one (bike hut) which is also effective enough and £10 cheaper.
    Yellow is the new Black.

    This seems like a good deal to me. I've just ordered one.

    I read those reviews for the Blackburn too. The way I see it you won't get a better pump for £36. Plus it has a lifetime warranty, so any problems with the head and you're covered. Evans will match that price btw if it makes it any easier for you should you need a warranty claim.

    I've got the TOPEAK JOE BLOW MAX II TRACK PUMP cannot fault it. You can get them for less than £25 if you shop around.
    Too many bikes according to Mrs O.

    Recently taken delivery of this bad boy,a big improvement on the cheapo floor pump that has given up the ghost.

    I searched the net and I reckon it's the best price.

    My Blackburn floor pump must be ten years old now and never let me down. Blackburn recommended.

    Topeak Joe Blow. Not sure exactly which one (the yellow one?). About £30 and not put a foor wrong since. Also used to pump up my sons footballs with the attachments!!

    Not too long ago I splashed out and bought a Lezyne CNC model - looks a million dollars (didn't cost much less!) and I do like the concept of screw on valve connection. However, my office recently purchased a Joe Blow pump, probably similar to last post ie lower end of their price range, and I can't fault it. In truth, it is more effective at getting air into the tube than my Lezyne and seems to be sturdily built. My Lezyne replaced a Joe Blow which I have had for the best part of 10 years and owes me nothing. The only bit I would check between models is the valve connection which can vary between models. So, I'd give a big thumbs up to the Joe Blow lobby!
