Default Biker's Dream Mini Foot Pump


A friend has just pointed out to me that the above pump is currently on
sale for 9.95 at Lakeland Limited (used to be Lakeland Plastics) which is
half the price charged in most bike shops.

I thought they were meant to be pretty good? I've read plenty of posts by
people raving about them.

I thought so too until I tried to use it in anger. It's OK for pumping up
footballs but for anything else, forget it.

I've had one or two of such things, and they were OKish for car tyres, and
not too good for anything other than getting 30 psi into knobblies.

I now occaisionally pump up the car tyres with my "track" pump.

I can remember 30 something years ago pumping up my grandfathers
Ford Consul tyres with what you could call a track pump. It was
made of brass with a wooden handle.

After thinking long about a signature I've decided not to bother.
