Floor/Track Pumps.

[Boon 51]

i have a day off this week so tempted to escape to halfords and try one on there show bikes

Thats a good idea as I'm going to Decathlon today or tomorrow so I might try the same thing and try one of there better floor pumps on one of there bikes..
Gold star for that idea..

I have a Joe Blow Sport 2, I love it, it is robust, stable and most importantly easily inflates my tyres to 120 PSI. I imagine it is also fine for getting 140+ PSI on tub's will see in the new year. One of the best thing's I have ever bought.

That's good to hear. I've got one of these on order as the pressure release valve on my air compressor trips at around 100 psi!

I've got Edinburgh Cycles' own brand one. Works well. I got it on sale which they seem to do quite a lot. Think it was about £8.

I've got this one. It works well, no complaints.

I'm very impressed with mine (a Joe Blow one), first time my tyres have been at the correct pressures, though I have had both tyres puncture on me in the last two days since I pumped them up.

I've just got a Joe Blow Max II pump from Wiggle so that I could keep my old track pump at work as a spare.

It's OK, but I don't see what all the fuss is about them.

I actually much prefer the operation of my 5 year old Decathlon track pump and I might even leave the Joe Blow at work instead TBH.

Identical pump just different branding. Mine has been a cracking pump, still is TBH

My Halfords cheapie does the job, but there's nothing nice about using it.

I once played with one of these in a bike shop and it was far superior:

Under £40 from Wiggle looks a good price, it's nearer £60 in some places.

I've got a Revolution one too, cracking pump and I've not had any problems so far.

I don't know if they still sell it but I've got the one with the gauge at the top, I think I've 6 or 7 years and I can't fault it.

finally got round to going to local halfords and after trying Joe Blow sport 2 that is the one effortless 0 - 115 psi in less than ten strokes and no messing , only little comment gauge on base rather than handle area

+1 for the Joe Blow. I have used the LBS's one a few times and as you say, effortless. Pity I have to make do with my Aldi one!

[UPDATE] I'm actually quite liking the Joe Blow now I've got used to the feel of it's operation.

It still feels harder to pump then my Decathlon one but it's earned it's place for now and my old Decathlon one can stay at work
