Track Pumps - Page 2 - London Fixed-gear and Single-speed

Maplin had some track pumps in recently for a fiver.

Got one in TK Maxx for £2. No idea what pressure it'll do, but I managed to get up to around 80psi without any problem. It's really tacky and plasticy with one of those lever things for the valve. Came with converters for use with footballs too.

I did manage to pop an inner tube with it (I guess it was pinched) at about 2am one night. Made our parakeet freak out - those things are loud when they go.

Incidentally, if you have the carrying capacity on your bike/luggage, the Topeak Road Morph G is a reasonable investment if you go out for longer distance rides. Saves a lot of trawling if you throw a puncture a long way from home.

Otherwise, I use a BETO. Cheap, crap, shoddy design, flimsy parts etc. Never let me down yet.
