Floor pump?
- Thread starter SinatorJ
- Start date
I’ve been using an $18 nashbar pump for about 20 years. Zero maintenance. It’s blue colored and it lives in my car.
This orange SKS is my shop / garage pump now and hopefully it will last me the rest of my life.

I was gonna say, how long to the Topeak's last? Given the parlance of our times, I doubt anything lasts over 25 years these days.
my $18 bell department store HV pump is by far my best, like 8 years old. If that won’t seat it, the tank-style ones wont either, since the restriction is the valve.
Say what you want, one pump works for them!Says the guy with a fucking Fatbike
Im of the opinion that it should not be necessary to own a compressor to own a mountain bike. If that cant be supported, then tubeless is not matured yet.

This $450 bike pump uses a 12,000 PSI hose originally designed for aircraft and race car brake lines and weighs close to seven pounds.
Gary this Pump is All World. No need for a compressor. Even the Hose is Sick. I am working on the newest Model. Artical is from 2014.
No that is the One,and Sold Out,and 500 Dollars now.

Sorry, I'm not a dentist so I can't subscribe to this.
That said, my $50 beat up pump gets used 90% of the time. The expensive fancy Joe Blow pump sits in the shed collecting dust.
The cheap one works, it pumps up tires, doesn't bend or unscrew valves and heck, if it gets run over by a car or something, no loss really.
And actually, the cheap one is much easier to get off the valve. I've bloodied my knuckles countless times on the brake rotor and cassette with the expensive pump, it really grips onto the valve and needs a good yank to get off.

Topeak makes a reasonably price floor pump with digital gauge so you can perfectly set MTB tires without the extra step of using a gauge and bleeding off air.
I'd be curious to get a floor pump for bag.. cO2 is what I hit it with now...
That enve is pretty cool but don't do road bikes so precision psi isn't my thing and the silca is pretty bad ass.. definitely made to be a workhorse and I'm sure the design internally is built to last...but I'll take my 60' of hose ony roof mount retractor with a park tools dual head filler/gauge...
I will say that both those items are pretty badass....If I had any sort of use for em that made sense financially I would get them...mainly the floor pump it's like a really cool tool to own just for appreciation that someone can create a cool tool.

I use one of these. Theoretically the gauge should be more accurate at MTB pressures since the middle of it's range is 20-30psi. It agrees with my digital pocket gauge, but I have no idea how accurate that is either.
Would you believe, I have one.At $450, Silica's New Bicycle Pump Better Last Forever

You killing me with the Bike. Like a picture of a beautiful woman with just a Hint of detail shown,leaving the rest to ones imagination.
Nice Pump.

If that is the case,I would agree whole heart. I’ll have todo some homework on that.
I remember a while back this guy and his buddy did a long trip on the Belt Driven Reeb,but she was a EBike on youtube. CO to somewhere? Not a single complaint if I recall. It was a paid trip.
That caught my attention. For the Life of me I can not remember that bolt on the Frame? It was a HardTail.
I really think Reeb is a Top Notch Company. I Love Steel,and anybody workin with it.

I have the same pump. Large volume, camo paint, reasonably accurate gauge, not so convenient hose management. A good pump.I use one of these. Theoretically the gauge should be more accurate at MTB pressures since the middle of it's range is 20-30psi. It agrees with my digital pocket gauge, but I have no idea how accurate that is either.
Now where in the hell have you been????
Still creeping around Hollywood in meatspace.
Mostly hanging around the GMT threads on the interwebz
Do they make penis-shaped phones? In orange?
You know what... I don't wanna know.
I bought a Blackburn that had a lifetime warranty, after two years the chuck internals carved a hole through themselves and my LBS couldn't get parts. I remember my brother having Blackburn lights that were the best designed thing ever, the pump was a turd sandwich.
I bought a Specialized floor pump a couple of months ago because it had a big gauge and was made in Taiwan, it works and is hard to lose because it is bright as fuck.
