Track pump

[RyanMcGrath]

Bought a cheap £15 track pump to pump my road tyres up to 120psi. Got told in the shop the pump I got would be fine. How wrong!!! It pumps to 55psi no more and the packaging stats 160psi!!!!
Took it back. What pump should I buy that will be good enough to pump up to 120psi. I see they vary in price so much. Got told to get a taller pump as it will last longer???

Topeak Joe blow sport or similar It will last you a lifetime plus used by cycling shops so it must be good (and it is)

Had a Joe blow which was ok but lost it and replaced it with a much cheaper revolution one and to be honest I prefer it - it locks on the valve far better than the Joe blow did.
