[Closed] Anyone tried the topeak twin turbo track pump?

It looks very impressive. I'm in need of a new track pump and this looks like the one pump to rule them all.

I'll probably wait for it to be discounted though, it's a bit pricey.

Are track pumps so onerous to use that we need super expensive ones? My topeak joe blow is still working fine after 12 years or so I think. MTB or road, it's fine (although I use CO2 for seating tubeless obviously)

Seems unnecessary.  I bought a Boardman one from Halfords for £30, it's superb - beautifully made from all metal, solid as anything, and the whole thing feels like it should've cost £100.

Maybe.

A regular Joe blue isn't really enough to inflate a stubborn tubeless tyre.

CO2 affects sealant and you create a load of extra rubbish/recycling.

My Joe blow mountain is surprisingly hard work to blast all that air and certainly can't do higher pressure.

So... Maybe we need expensive track pumps. Well, they don't have to be expensive, but multi use and easy to use certainly.
