Have had 2 hand pumps this year, both have broken. Can anyone recommend me a decent pump that will fit into a backpack, i have presta valves and its this part of the pump that keeps breaking
Thats my latest one and i cant get the presta valve to workI bought one of these from ebay, had to use it for the first time today when got a puncture, worked brilliantly, and for £4.29, you can't argue:

I and others on here use and highly rate lezyne mini pumps, I've got the alloy drive but Id probably get a road drive if I had a nice road bike. top peak pumps also get well rated on here.
Without sounding nasty, are you flipping the locking mechanism up or down before pumping. (Needs to flipped up)Thats my latest one and i cant get the presta valve to work
Flipping it up once its on the valve :P no air seems to go through the presta part though, only the other valve (which i cant spell haha)Without sounding nasty, are you flipping the locking mechanism up or down before pumping. (Needs to flipped up)
