Track Pump Recommendations please

[MrW]

Mine has finally given up the ghost after many years use, so I need a replacement

Any suggestions? Good buys, bad buys, current bargains?

Cheers

I asked myself the very same question just the other day and I turned up these links:

Don't laugh but I bought a Raleigh one from halfrauds about 4 years ago, about 12 quid down from 17 on special offer and does everything it should

In my bike shop days we had a Kinsman which cost an absolute fortune and doesn't do anything different to my cheapo Raleigh.

I asked this question a while back as my beto one was getting a bit ropey.

Bought a Lezyne with an alloy reversible threaded rather than lever/clip/grip adapter. Has a release vale built in. Steel bodied. Really nicely made with wooden handle. nice to use. Works well with a good clear dial.

£5 Lidl pump for me also. Bought it a couple of years ago and it's still going strong. Mostly metal construction also

Yup easily as sturdy as much more expensive one.

When i said mine was dead all it is is the clip that goes on the valve won't
stay up. Still works but you have to hold it.

So cheap I just bought another and donated old one to a family member.

I had a big grumpy ole man moment with pumps a few years ago. A good track pump seems to have become something no one can make anymore. Finally I bought the Halfords BikeHut track pump and after 3 years its still superb and accurate. Plus they are on offer at the mo at £19.99, 50% off
