I am in need of a pump, but I remember the ones I had as a teenager,
and
they seemed to wear out pretty quickly, but that could have been
because
they were low quality pumps. I have been using a plug into your cars
lighter
electric deal, and it has trouble getting up to 50 PSI and as you know
most
road tires are rated for 65 PSI seems like I have seen a bunch of
names
while browsing some of the bike parts sites, throw me some good names.

Zefal HPX. And you might check your PSI numbers.


I second the Zefal. Mine worked great for me .... until some slimeball
nicked
it. If you do much stopping around town for shopping, be prepared to
detach and
carry your pump when you leave the bike.

Ah you know that had never even crossed my little mind! Yeah it seems to me
that if it is as good as I have heard other cyclist or thieves would help
themselves to your pump!

Where I live, downtown is only three blocks long and the high school is at one
end of the street. Kids all over the place. Same situation at the strip mall a
couple miles out. The *only* things I leave on the unattended bike are bunji
cords. The first time I left them I was absolutely certain they wouldn't be
there when I returned. But over the years none has been stolen. Of course,
bunji cords ain't no Zefal!
