Any recommendations on a track pump..??

I give up on my exploding aldi/lidl special as not only did it explode once before, but now I've found out its over 6psi out of sync....:oops:

So my 20psi tyres were nearer 30psi.. :lol: :lol:

Got my eye on "SKS Rennkompressor" as the shop I've worked in has had it for 20+ years and swears by it for reliability and quality..

What do you guys/girls use.??

Stay on target...!!

Joe bow, had mine for a year or two with no complaint. I even had to use it on a car tyre with no problems so can't be that bad

I've got one of these - http://www.wiggle.co.uk/lifeline-essential-track-pump/ .... seems to do the job of squeezing air into the tires ;)

Don't buy a Park Tool Pump PFP5 or older version PFP6 they leek after sometime.
There kits to fix, shouldn't need to buy kit for their faulty product.

edit: I got the PFP6

I've used Pedros, Joe Blow and Lezyne, all great pumps. I have the Pedros at home it's about two years old and it's like new paid £15 for it. The Lezyne is at work, a bike shop and it has been used daily by customers for two years and it works faultless!

The yellow joe blow (one in my link) is metal (foot base, outer tube, pump shaft) with some plastic parts (handle). As i said i used it to pump up a car tyre (a very large and almost flat off road jeep tyre) so can't be that bad.

Am i mistaken, or did i see one advertised in one of the MTB mags that will do tubeless?

Think it builds up the air then shoots it into the tyre in one blast?

Did i see it or am i going mad?
