    No more K-Mart for me

    Fortunately we still had the K-Mart receipt for that Schwinn pump, and they took it back without questions. Yea! The local bike shop consists of a well-respected bike mechanic who works out of his garage late afternoons. He doesn't have a big inventory, but I think that he'll have 2 or 3 pumps. So, I think I'll try the local guy this afternoon before going to Performance Bike. Thanks for the suggestions everyone.

    We've had a JoeBlow, a Pedro's, and a planet bike "sport". The only one which still works perfectly is the planet bike and it was also by far the cheapest. It doesn't "feel" super strong but is great. Highly recommend.
    ...never met a bike that I didn't wanna ride.

    Specialized Air Tool Complete on our floor.

    I don't remember what my frame pump is, but I think it's MTB, has the auto selecting head and comes with a patch kit in case of emergency.

    Good luck in your new quest.
    My bike is my Benz.

    I use a similar Topeak, it's great, very easy to use. I no longer work up a sweat inflating the tires.

    Having the gauge up higher would be nice. I think I got this one because the handles are larger.

    Got this for $30, and it has worked fantastically for over a year.

    +1+1 for the Topeak Joe Blow. I don't have the most expensive model and even my puny 105 lb body can put 140 lbs+ of air pressure in my hubbies TT bike tires without bursting a vein.

    Specialized floor pump--seals perfectly around a presta or schrader valve every time.
