Floor/Track Pumps.

[Boon 51]

I did do a search but I have to say not a lot came up and I'm looking for a floor/track pump.
I wanted a Joeblow either the Sport 11 or Sprint but cant get free postage from amazon, wiggle dont do them but they do others and evenscycles are well dear in price.
So what have a got as a good alternative..
Got ant ideas..coz I'm stumped..
The last resort is I'm coming to the UK in Jan next year but I dont know if a track/floor pump will fit into hand luggage..
PS hope I dont get a pucture as I have no pump at the moment.

Cheers

I brought one from Decathlon in Ankara, and I'm sure you have Decathlon over there. Don't you have some good LBS's?, something very much lacking here.












something totally lacking here.

Don't buy a cheap pump; they usually have fat barrels for MTB tyres meaning you need muscles like a gorilla to achieve road tyre pressures.

Thanks for the link and I have just looked at them but it seems that they are no longer available... if I've read it right.
The two others they show one is £56 and the other is £90 something.. Shame.

Cheers

It must be due to your location as I'm showing them in stock and ready for despatch at wiggle.co.uk

I can recommend Joe Blow, I've tried other track pumps and it's an experience similar to trying to push open a lead door with a stick of boiled celery.

Can't you look at the bike shops in Mallorca ? - plenty there to choose from.

I got my red steel bodied one from Halfords, cost about £23 IIRC

I think they have a Spanish wiggle but they might not have the stock as the UK one..

Hi Andrew..
I've set my heart on a Joeblow but I might have to go up the price scale a bit...

Oh up is probably no problem, just don't go down

Just by chance do you know if the Joeblow Mega Morph floor pump is good for 120 psi..

Alas I don't, but the yellow Joe Blow I bought for £35 from Halfords has no problem at all.

....nice analogy, reminds me of someone attempting to fire a wax candle through a barn door, only it worked
