Can anyone recommend a good, cheap (inexpensive) pump?

My Dunlop double barrel footpump has fallen to bits, after 2 years, about 100 tyres. It was OK, did the job well but once blew a seal which Dunlop posted out for free.

Halfords also have a Topeak track pump, steel with a decent looking head.

A fellow cyclist once helped out with one of the Cyclaire piston type pumps which worked well.

I also have a Muddy Fox branded run of the mill track pump, probably the same as the 4.99 one in HomeBargains. The valve head is a ball ache, the presta rubbers have just fallen to bits, the head never knows which hole to blow air from and the top just blows off the threads.

Any others I should consider, or any recommendations much appreciated.

I love my Lezyne Pump... not overly cheap though at £45 quid (I got mine for xmas last year).

My Lezyne isn't that good. Had a few issues with it, but they do have a very good reputation. I've maybe been unlucky.

Had a cheap JoeBlow which did me for years prior to this one i've now got.

JoeBlow works well for me and spares are availabule.

Joe Blow for me too, the head is really good the spesh pumps get good reviews too!

I have two ssmall lezyne pumps aand i dont like the way you cannot open the barrel to replace the washer/o-ring .Seems disposable :?
Is the track pump you have TK sealed or can you dismantle it to replace washers and the like ?

I have the Joe Blow max 2 from topeak £25 and its not bad
