Recommend a track pump

[biker grove]

My track pump has given up on my presta valves. I get to 100psi and it blows off the valve. Can anyone recommend a good one?

Joe Blows work well. Mine's a Joe Blow Max. You have to put a surprising amount of weight on the handle to get up to 100psi but it's very quick.

SKS Rennkompressor is probably the best you can buy.

Why not get something like this if the pump is still OK

Wilkinsons, under a tenner, works a treat!

Totally agree:

Or an Aldi, electric compressor - lets you feel like a pro but SO NOISY!!!

This is what I have and it works a treat

We have a joe blow, had it a few years and no problems yet.
Son uses it for his footballs too!

The beto ones are fine but I agree with @raleighnut that replacing the head is probably better if your current pump's otherwise OK.

Another satisfied Joe Blow customer. I think mine's a Sport II. Seemed expensive when I paid about £30 for it about 4 years ago but has been effective, quick and trouble-free.

Thanks for all your replies. Brilliant. My pump's fine on Schrader valves so I might go for a replacement head first and use my hand pump in the meantime. My pump is a Beto and has been good up till now.

@jefmcg Maybe it's not just mine then!

Yeah, I saw that. Maybe it's not your pump. Maybe you (and @slowmotion) are wusses

My mate got a Joe Blow and it was hard work blowing up the tyres compared to my Rennkompressor. At only about £15 more it's a no brainer. His Joe Blow couldn't get the tyres up to 120psi no matter how hard we tried! Can't remember the exact model he had but be careful if buying a cheap pump to blow tyres to a high pressure. May be fine for MTB tyres though.

I have a lezeyne floor drive. Bloody lovely bit of kit.
