It never pays to be cheap.
Yeah - I had a Joe Blow from TJMaxx, too. Loved it for 2 or 3 years, but my DH and my best buddy both had trouble with it - found it very confusing, and refused to use it after a while. I never saw the problem - seemed perfectly clear to me. But then the head fell apart (literally). It would fall apart in my hand when I took it off the valve, and I'd pop it back together. Until it finally shot one part into orbit somewhere.
So now I have a nice Park Tool brand floor pump, just like my DH's. And he and my friend don't get confused anymore.:rolleyes: I did rather enjoy being the only one who could figure out my pump.
I've been wondering about pumps too, so I guess I'll piggyback my question onto this thread. How about a frame pump? I'm interested in a good one that will get me up to ~100-110 psi.. My LBS coaxed me into getting a CO2 setup, but my waste alarm is ringing like crazy. I'd like something portable that works on human power.
OK. Now this answer is appropriate. :)Quote:

I used my frame pump on the trail recently. It got me up to about 70psi but it took one person to hold the pump in place while the second person pumped.
I cannot recommend a frame pump for a road bike.
I snapped off a presta valve with a hand pump. :mad: I went back to using my old Topeak Master Blaster pump.
