After spending about 1/2 an hour trying to pump up my tyres with a mini pump i've decided it's time to stop being such a pikey and buy my own 'proper' pump.
I don't want to spend loads and loads so any suggestions?
Cheap: Specialized Air Tool Road (for Presta valve only) £10, and excellent
Money no object: Topeak Road Morph G - £27 ish, but v. reliable & does presta and schrader (car type).
I have a track pump in my garage, and when out and about I have a small topeak pump with smart head, it works equally well on my MTB and Road bike.
Cost me about £12 from Halfords
After wasting cash on a cheapo pump from Tesco, I bought the Revolution Air Track Pump - £14.67 @ Edinburgh Bike Co-op, and it's been fine. Gets a good review from road.cc too. Though you'd need to spend another fiver to qualify your order for free postage.
Don't worry about cheaper track pumps as long as they can easily deal with both valve types without fiddling and they have a pressure gauge. I've had two in service for yonks, one was a halfords which after 5 years is starting to leak at one end of the hose and the other a decathlon job for £3 from a car boot sale still going strong. Both were/are probably <£25.
