Ok so needed a new track pump, got a Joe Blow from wiggle and over 80psi you really have to lean on the pump to get it to inflate anything whereas with my mates £5 aldi / lidl one it's a breeze getting the pressure up over 100psi.

So any ideas what's theproblem with te Joe Blow and what would you recommend for under £30

Cheers

Is it me who now always gets confused between

a) bits of rolling singletrack you're supposed to be able to traverse without turning your pedals.

and

b) things you use to get air in your tyres at home?

You can buy service kits for Joe Blows AFAIK

There's certainly something up with it as mine easily goes up to 120psi & probably a good bit more

BTW park tools sent me a free replacement gauge when it failed after 4 years 🙂

the nicer track pumps were pushing 80 quid* anyway - i'm hoping it helps blast a tubeless / get it seated.

* i fooled myself on that one!
