I’m currently using a no-name plastic track pump that was left behind when previous tenants moved out. It works, but the gauge is crude (10psi increments) and it only fits Schrader valves.
I have, however, used it LOADS on presta valves with an adapter over the last year, so decided it’s time to get a better one without an adapter (bit of a faff to be honest). It’ll be put in the car when travelling for mountain biking, and used weekly for the commuter for checking pressures.
Any recommendations, sub £25. Preferably with an easy to read gauge (in 1psi increments rather than 10psi!).
I was looking at these:
Ice Tools
Park Tools
They all look the same to me to be honest, as does the £10 Giro pump they also have in store! Any major differences? Very pleased with my Blackburn mountain pump, and it has readily available replacement seals and bushes. Guessing Park Tools may also be the same?
Also, is it better to get a separate pressure gauge or do you mostly just go by the track pump gauge? Recommendations for a presta gauge if so? Not so bothered about accuracy if resolution and repeatability is good enough.
