So my Specialized Air Tool pump from 1996 isn't broken yet, but I need something like it to replace it soon.
Problem is, I can't use a Trek or Specialized pump (I mean I can...but don't want to...we're not a Trek or Specialized shop.)
I really like how the Lezyne Dirt pump feels especially now that they have a speed chuck instead of the annoying thread on flipping shit, but it can't go over 60 psi. I don't want to have another pump for higher pressures. It's awesome otherwise. I've literally in a pinch pumped up my car tire to 35 psi from flat in under 50 pumps. :eek3danc:
I bought a SKS rennkompressor and it's great, except the chuck fucking sucks and you need hulk hands to get it to grab on. But even that bit aside, it takes a million fucking pumps to pump up a MTB tire. Great for a road bike.....but that's about it. It also needs to hve a smart head...no unscrewing shit to go from presta to schraeder and vice versa.
The Park feels like a cheap POS. Pedro's is just as shit. Blackburn takes 97845745 pumps as well.
So what's out there that will last me another 20 years? I don't mind spending even $200+ on the Silca if it's worth it, especially since it's rebuildable....but I can't remember if it's like the SKS, a million pumps to pump up a mtb tire. Is the Specialized Air Tool really the only good pump out there that can go high pressure AND high volume???
