Hey guys,
So… I’ve been using a small electric pump for my bikes and e-scooters over the last few years.
They are nice, but really aren’t designed to be used as often as I do.
I’m a fan of low-tech gear, so I’m looking for a good quality floor pump that will last the next 20+ years. Obviously, it needs to be serviceable and have easily replaceable parts. And it needs to be accurate, for sure. LOL
I’m reading reviews from Wirecutter and various cycling sites, and they are all over the place with recommendations. I think a lot of their choices are driven by affiliate links, so there’s that.
Does this unicorn exist?
The 50 year old Japanese one at my grandparent’s place while I was over there still works, it uses a clip to hold against the Woods valve, and no pressure gauge so I have to guess when it’s filled by feel.
Looks similar to this random one I found on the internet. Maybe it’s too low tech for your needs.
That’s awesome! The only real features that I’d like to have are a gauge and a non-lever chuck.
The only floor pumps I’ve owned when my kids were learning to ride bikes were those super cheap ones you get at a department store… all plastic, and good for a handful of uses. LOL
