Which bike pump do you like/use?

[jdubble]

I can tell you which pump I absolutely hated.... We had a Silca - fancy retro Italian pump, lots of coolness factor. I wanted to throw that thing out of the window more than once. It was soooooo hard to get a good pressure with. I had to lean on the thing with all of my body weight to get 100 psi. Sometimes the gasket would flip over. After a particularly frustrating session I demanded that we go get a new one. Had the Joe Blow ever since.

I *did* throw the Silca across the garage once, after it ripped yet another valve off yet another tube when I was pulling the darn chuck off. Stupid too tight gasket. The cover of the gauge popped off. My husband has never let me live that down. Now I have my own Topeak pump and he can use the precious Silca. I carry a Lezyne Pressure Drive pump on my bike.
