Title: Bike Pump suggestions
Post by: 14thStbikes on February 16, 2016, 06:30:53 PM

My Park PFP-8 just went. It was solid, lasted a few years before it starting breaking down. Prior to that I had a Blackburn Air Tower 3. It worked awesome at first, then quickly started leaking from the presta port, then at the base.

Considering another Park, any of the PFP's. Also seeing good reviews on the Topeak Joeblow 2...

Any feedback on durable pumps that you folks have found would be appreciated.

my 17$ Walmart pump has seen its healthy share of use and abuse and is holding up fine. and if a part breaks I can probably roll out to anywallmart and grab myself the pieces I need

Really pleased with my Birzman pump. I had a Joe Blow but kept having problems with the smart head after using it on prestas.
