Bicycle track pump.
Can someone recommend me a decent track pump that doesn't leak at valve when at 60psi like my aldi one does.
Need to get tyre's rock hard because the 700 x 23 are prone to snake bites. Thanks in advance.

Re: Bicycle track pump.
My brothers opinion on this when I asked him about a decent track pump was "Joe Blow, cos all the rest of them are shit".
Mine seems fine but he used them waay more than I ever have.

Big fan of the Decathlon one but also have a Fabric one which I bought discounted at the LBS and it's a beautifully built bit of kit and a perfect performer.

Re: Bicycle track pump.
Decathlon 500 I think it's name was, 17.99. You have to swap an adapter between valve's works well. Good seal to valve.

Re: Bicycle track pump.
I'll leave it set for the funny valve. Need high pressure in them.
