Hey guys,
So… I’ve been using a small electric pump for my bikes and e-scooters over the last few years.
They are nice, but really aren’t designed to be used as often as I do.
I’m a fan of low-tech gear, so I’m looking for a good quality floor pump that will last the next 20+ years. Obviously, it needs to be serviceable and have easily replaceable parts. And it needs to be accurate, for sure. LOL
I’m reading reviews from Wirecutter and various cycling sites, and they are all over the place with recommendations. I think a lot of their choices are driven by affiliate links, so there’s that.
Does this unicorn exist?
Maybe buy a small compressor. Should be able to get parts for that just about forever. And you can do other things with it too, like fool car tires, now dust of things, use an airbrush, air tools, and more.
fool them into what? thinking they’re bike tires? personally I’ve never been able to deceive a tire but perhaps you’re a lot more charismatic than I am…
I don’t have a witty reply but I got a chuckle out of yours!
if I live my life with nothing to show but a few chuckles here and there, it’ll probably be worth it.
I’ve got one and also used electric pumps. For super early rides, I’d rather not wake up my family with a loud pump.
Fair point about the noise but an electric pump and a compressor are different.
I know. It’s just not an option I’m looking for.
