[Closed] Decent inexpensive floor pump?

[#6562494]

The rubbery valve bit on my otherwise satisfactory Lidl track pump is pretty grotty now and doesn't always form a decent seal.

Any recommendations for a decent but not dear replacement? Needs to do tubeless.

I've got this one.

Never quite managed to do tubeless first time without resorting to my ghetto inflator but I think that's much more about the tyre/wheel combo than the track pump.

For mountain bikes, tubeless?
Joe Blow Mountain. Just over 30 quid.
Does tubeless very well.

Joe Blow sport (and many of their others) is poor for tubeless- it'll do it but it's low volume, high pressure. Mountain is a bit more but much better. Or for a cheaper option, blackburn air tower 2- quite cheap and nasty, but effective.

Just to drop it in there, Park tool one for £30 seems good plus comes in a good colour !

My 10 yr old Blackburn gave up a few years bk so decided to give PT a try, only time will tell.

SKS Rennkompressor

I know it's £40 but you will have this for decades and it works very well...I gave my Joe Blow away...not a patch on the SKS...

Silca has lasted at least 15 years- new leather washer and a new valve- thats all its needed.

Lezyne steel floor drives are pretty solid. Should think their HV pumps are good also.
