Joe blow max has done me for last few years still going strong

Silca - The industry standard. Last a lifetime. Spares easily available. The choice of pro's the world over. The 'pista' is the one you want.

Topeak joe blow mountain - great for tubeless setups. Not for high pressures.

Can't beat Lezyne pumps IMO.
Dirt Drive is MTB specific, so its got a big volume and gets up to pressure really quickly.
If you want to go over 80 PSI, then the steel floor drive is great value. It will last for years, much more solid than the Topeak pumps.Posted 3 months ago # -
Topeak Joe Blow Turbo here - feels solid, valve works for presta and schrader. Lever on the valve is a bit stiff so you need to do it two-handed, but it is a reassuringly good fit.

I got bought a bikehut one several years ago. It pumps up tyres and it's cheap. Gauge reads a bit high at lower pressures, assuming my digital gauge is more accurate.

Haven't use the Joe Blow Mountain but the others are all too low volume, well put together but once you've tried something better it feels like using half a pump.
Blackburn Air Tower 2 here- feels like it's going to break in half at any moment, but shifts way more than twice as much air per stroke than my Joe Blow. Far better for anything up to 80, 90psi.

Another +1 for the Joe Blow here. Sturdy and stable (I hate track pumps that fall over all the time!) does my road and mountain tyres equally well and appears to be good quality, having had it for a couple of years now.

my £4.99 one from Lidl has served me well. Gauge not easy to read but I have a digi gauge for the car that works well.

my tyres never go past 30psi so no need for massive pressure pumps.
for me it would seem the silca looks like the winner as ive found one for £26.

I have an old Joe Bow that works well. Also have a newish Lezyne one, which is very efficient, but the gauge is crap - when it says 40, pressure is closer to 50

2nd th3e silca. Got a 10 year old one. Just replaced the leather washer (cost £2.00) and it is working like new.

Topeak Joe Blow here with the TwinHead attachment. It's about 10 years old and still pumps up tubeless MTB tyres no problem and will easily inflate road tyres to over 100 psi. Recently revived with a rebuild kit for only £4!!

Nothing against Lezyne stuff ive got a multitool and its fine, but the pump design isn't great. The thread-on system on presta valves is time consuming (especially with freezing cold hands) and also seems to have an awful habit of taking a removable valve core with it when you unscrew. Ive had it happen to me once (got rid of pump after this) and ive seen it happen to 3 or 4 others ive been riding with or in the workshop.

Had a zefal that lasted years. When that had served its time I went through three Blackburn pumps which were pants and killed a renkompressor in a couple of months. £35 Joe blow has out performed them all. Plus you can actually get the spares, I've seen them on the shelf in the shop, just not needed them.

Topeak Joe Blow Mountain. OK, I'll come clean.
This is my first ever track pump and I used it for the first time yesterday.
I am really impressed. Again for the first time I fitted Stans No Tube system to my old Mavic rims and used old Panaracer tyres.
Pump sealed them very easily.
So far it's a good pump !
