Foot Pump

[thunderous71]

Can anyone recommend a good foot pump that won't break after a few goes?

All the ones I have had so far last about 5 uses before starting to fail.

Bell.

Had mine 18 months now, still going strong, better than the £3.59 blue one I had before that managed 18 days...

You'll find Bell in cycle shops and sometimes Asda.

I have gone through 2 - on my third. Sorry can't remember the make but it's in Australia anyway but basically everything is cheap crap these unless you find a specialist (old fashioned) dealer and pay a bit more.
Basically look at the metal parts and do they look like proper steel or like plastic and ask to try the thing out as well.

I got sick of replacing my foot pumps and coughed up for a compressor. Now I almost look forward to checking the tyre pressures on our vehicles as it's not the chore to inflate them that it used to be.

It'll say made in China on it.

I always use a digital tyre pressure gauge, the foot pump is miles off, although I've got used to the offset now

I use the draper pressure gauges. They're awesome.

Stirrup type? Can't fit the large valve thingy between my rim and wheel centre.

Yes , I have plenty of room on my bike ...the old scoot was a bit of a squeeze

I just put some chrome 90 degree extensions on my tyres that solve that issue.

Keep thinking about buying some as garage inflators clash with my discs.

I must just have shit wheels

A foot pump...for tires? just get a bike pump...Foot pumps come with garbage air mattresses or water floats in the US.
