Not so retro pump question (polite opinions invited)

[scant]

of course they won't last like a bigger one. True of most things isn't it, but the spesh ones i've had just die before they've been worn in. Broken two blackburns too. Superhuman strength doesn't help but still.

LIke this one. It's all carbony. :roll:

blackburns are supposed to hava lifetime warranty, send em back!

I've been let down by gas too many times

Wierd though on the two occasions I've used it on a car it worked perfectly - apart from the clean up of the rims afterwards.

Gas is fine if yo have a pump as back- up.

I have a Topeak that's pretty small but most importantly doesn't feel like it will snap or fall to pieces when I use it.

Blackburn double shot, tiny but pumps up really fast as wide bore and pushes air in both strokes, very low strength required too, mines qbout 14 yer old and is fully rebuildable!

i have never had any success w/ and hand pump that was not huge like the old blackburn mammoth. So i have gone to CO2 100% of the time and just bring a cartridge for every hour i'll be on the bike.
