colin weston Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 As my Halfords foot pump recently gave up the ghost by bending I had to find a replacement. I did an extensive study of past experiences of MMM contributors as well as other sources. In the end I decided on a bikehut performance Track Pump (primarily meant for cyclists) with a claimed top pressure of 160psi. At £25 from Halfords I have rated it as a good buy as it has a connector that automatically adjusts to both Schader and Presta valves. Furthermore, the pressure gauge appears to be accurate in as much that it agrees with the digital gauge I have. Extremely pleased so far and I had no problem putting a few psi in the rear tyres on my Motorhome up to the recommended 65psi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracker Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Whilst I respect your ability and desire to get the exercise Colin, I preferred the easy way ! http://www.halfords.com/workshop-tools/garage-equipment/tyre-inflators-pressure-gauges Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colin weston Posted April 12, 2018 Author Share Posted April 12, 2018 Yes, I did look at those but I decided that there was more to go wrong. I like to keep it as simple as possible. Besides us 'old-timers' need the exercise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracker Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Exercise - wash your mouth out !!!! For 40 years we carried a foot pump and never used it - come to think of it we never needed the 12 v inflator away from home either - but we still carried it - and I tested them both every now and then just in case! Hope it keeps you fit !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowie Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 I have a similar one Colin; and very effective it is for putting just a few pounds in, wouldn’t want to use it for much more though. I also got some funny looks when I used it on my drive! Regards, Snowie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
