I think I am in need of a good quality floor pump as my hand pump appears to have given up the ghost...any one got any advice on which one to get? The Topeak Joe Flow seems to have some good reviews. Thanks, Chris |

Had it for a year now and is still working great. John |

I leave it in the office so that my work colleagues can use it so it's had a pretty good bashing from MTB and road users. It's the only floor pump that I've ever owned so I can't say much for any others, but the JoeBlow has been perfect for me. Tim. |

Much banter with the shop dude, he recommended a Bike Hut one, so got that. Brought it home and it worked a treat, tyres now rock hard. Will try and get out tomorrow AM, weather permitting of course. |

I purchased the single cylinder type but have found that it is hard work getting up to 70psi, so I am not sure if I am using it correctly. However, it is far easier now than it used to be with my old hand pump. If and when I buy a road bike where the tyres should be inflated to a much higher pressure (100 + psi), I am not sure if the Aldi pump will cope. Martin |
