What's the go-to track pump at the moment, is it still a Joe Blow? I'm looking to spend ~£50 since mine's on it's last legs. Any recommendations? (Bonus meaningless internet points if you point me towards any bargains!)

[url= http://www.cyclingweekly.co.uk/reviews/pumps-puncture-repair ]cycling weekly will see you right[/url] - i've almost justified buying a new track pump as my ageing Blackburn TP-3 has nearly died but i know that a new o-ring will sort it out - i really want a new one with a decent valve connecter head and larger gauge though.

Only because you want a play with it! I don't really want to go over £50 (as much as I'd like that one...)

You got me. Still buy it though.

Got a Joe Blow mountain high volume pump. Seems good enough and managed to seat some tires tubeless with it. The accuracy on the gauge is terrible though. I think the SKS high volume pump is supposed to be pretty decent.

Lezyne fan here, whichever version is within budget.

Just remember the MTB versions (HV) may not reach roadie pressures

I bought this one, wiggles own brand, and I've had no problem inflating tubeless Maxxis tyres with it. Nicely built too.

@MC how do you find the threaded connector with tubeless valves? Do you have to be careful that it doesn't pull the valve core out?
