Finally bought a track pump

[surreypete]

Got to say after years of messing around with a hand pump on my bike I went out and spent some birthday money I had on a Bontrager track pump.

Best thing I have ever purchased for the bike, so easy to use and even the end valve does presta without having to mess around swapping bits around.

Makes a difference being able to actually get some air in my tyres

Totally agree, I wouldn't be without a track pump.

The next thing on your list, if you haven't got one already, should be a 4th hand tool/cable puller:



You can get them for a tenner: http://www.bikegoo.co.uk/product.php/887/0

Not something you need often, but they make setting up brakes and gears so much easier when you have to.

Could our UK bodies please enlighten us here in USA as to what is a track pump? Does not translate.

I would like to harness some of all this hot air coming off this post ! ha might even make my bike float a bit lighter too.
but I will remain neutral like Bill. looks like a floor pump and a track pump to me
