    Anyone have one of these?

    Seems to be up there on reviews..

    Heading off abroad for a week and want something that will give me 100-120 psi without getting a heart attack..

    Any good pumps out there?

    I have this one, I've used it a couple of times. I managed to get to 95psi (checked it with my track pump when i got home) without too much hassle but it does heat up quite alot. Not sure I'd be willing to put the effort into getting me to 120, or whether it would be possible.

    Word of advice, given that you screw the hose onto the valve, get one of these to tighten the valve core or sometimes it can come off when you unscrew the hose and waste all that effort!

    1. Take new tube out of box.
    2. Remove valve core.
    3. Smear core with Loctite.
    4. Screw valve core back in.
    5. Go about your business.


    I don't know why valve cores are still a thing.

    For less than 2euro ... it's a safety net worth having.

    Because of deep section wheels. I buy tubes with removable cores and use screw in valve extenders.

    I have the Micro Floor drive which is very easy to travel with..

    Gives an easy 100psi and has a mini floor stand and hand pump-folds up smartly too.

    Complete with pressure gauge.

    Thanks, I suppose it all comes back to the unexplainable to others scenario, that you need 4/5 pumps..

    One to get you home
    One for touring where size is no matter
    A track pump
    A decent mini pump
    Etc
    Etc
    Etc

    I might just bite the bucket and go with the lezyne mini one...

    Those zefal frame pumps are solid for touring mind..

    I'm afraid that my knowledge of tubeless tyres is zero, but thanks anyway. I'll google it momentarily. :)

    It must be considerably improved since their last one it was only €5.

    If it were me I'd probably spend a few € more on the joe blow 2 or park tool one on wiggle

    In saying that I had an aldi €5 one and it lasted years before the O ring split.

    At that kind of money it's approaching the ones that you could get at the LBS. I think Richie's in Swords do pumps starting at €25.
