In regards to the tire pumping thread

[colby]

We had a Joe Blow Sport and replaced it from REI with a Joe Blow whatever-the-next-model-up-is when it stopped working. Now, that one isn't working either - it has a leak in it, so it doesn't pump air unless you seal the spot where the bleeder valve is by hand. My 16 year old brother isn't the softest on equipment.

I purchased something that was originally REALLY expensive on Steep and Cheap (a cutter, I think) and it's been good so far, is light, easy to use, gauge and bleeder valve are conveniently located. I also have a separate Serfas floor pump that I bought on Steep and Cheap as well (with a frame mount pump since my husband needed one) and it's been good so far, but much more lightly used (I leave it in my office at work just in case we need it). It seems relatively run-of-the-mill. Time will tell on them both, I guess.

I bought a Specialized floor pump over 5 years ago and it's still working fine. I would highly recommend this pump.

Interesting - thanks MartianDes.

I saw at REI store they have a mini pump with CO2 AND Reg hand pump AND Bleeder valve...damn. :-)

I wished I brought it here, but I still have the old bike feet pump (no hand/ stand up pump), and it still works great..20 years old. It's at my parents' in NJ.
