[RBW] Re: What do Rivendell Riders use for floor pumps?
UPDATE: Thanks for the recommendations. I got an orange SKS Renkompressor. Works great and very nicely built! Easy on/off of presta and Schrader valves and shoots in surprisingly large volume of air per stroke. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Yes!, so much more convenient than a conventional floor pump! "CONVENIENCE: Plug directly into Cigarette Lighter Socket of your Vehicle. 12VDC 10~15 amps, 120~180W" Maybe there's some sort of hand crank powered cigarette lighter that would make this mega super convenient? There is!! sort of.. https://www.amazon.com/K-TOR-Generator-Emergency-Lightweight-Polycarbonate/dp/B00EZS8VQS?keywords=hand+crank+generator+12v=1539133963=Automotive=1-2-catcorr=sr_1_2 This would look nice if one switched out the cranks for something silver, maybe Rene Herse?

So Joe Blow and SKS Rennkompressor is getting the good votes here.

[RBW] Re: What do Rivendell Riders use for floor pumps?
I have two Joe Blows, that work well and are in your price range. These are my two go to pumps. I also have two Silca Pistas that are both over 30 years old and still going strong but they are not better than the JB's. I keep them for nostalgic reasons. Plus, I think they fit the Rivendell ethos a little better. Last I have a Lezyne CNC Floor Drive which is out of your price range and has the worst possible head ever designed. What a hunk of crap. I never touch that thing. I am going to try their latest head design but it is on back order in Canada. I have never tried to the SKS pump but it seems to be well liked here. A couple of weeks ago I needed air and went to a Specialized dealer and used one of their floor pumps in the mechanics area. I don't know what model I used but it was simple the best pump I have ever used. I would have bought it if I didn't already have five pumps. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Re: [RBW] Re: What do Rivendell Riders use for floor pumps?
I have one of those basic Specialized models too, cost about $35 and I've had it for 14-15 years, still works fine. It's better at Presta than Schrader, but that doesn't really bother me because my fleet is all Presta. Only thing that's Shrader is the jogging stroller, but I don't jog anyway, so no problem.

Sorry, my comments about 'extender hose' don't make sense, I don't know how I got stuck on that term. I need a narrow chuck to fit inbetween the spokes on those itty bitty Brompton wheels. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

SKS Renkompressor, bought from RBW many years ago, now on its second head.

Re: [RBW] Re: What do Rivendell Riders use for floor pumps?
I can recommend the Joe Blow Sport, too. Mine has worked great for the last 3-or-so years I've owned it, but now I need something with an extender hose. Btw, the more expensive Joe Blow with the fancy head was a headache. It never worked right and I eventually tossed it. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Re: [RBW] Re: What do Rivendell Riders use for floor pumps?
I was thinking about the new Pista since it is back on the market. But I dont want to pay more than 60 for a floor pump. The SKS sounds good so far. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Re: [RBW] Re: What do Rivendell Riders use for floor pumps?
Go-to pump is a Zefal HP Husky, but I also have a classic Silca. I would still be using the Silca that I bought back in the 1980s if it hadn’t been accidentally left by the side of the road at a race out in the country a couple of years ago. Silcas have the advantage of being reparable. You can buy the leather plunger if it wears out (or just take it out and put a little grease on it in most cases), and the hose/chuck assembly is easily available. Take care of a Silca—and don’t lose it—and it will last forever. --Eric Norris campyonly...@me.com @CampyOnlyguy (Twitter/Instagram) > On Sep 30, 2018, at 6:46 PM, Edwin W wrote: > > I’ve had a good run with the basic specialized model I bought at my local > bike store. $35, easy with shrader or presta, nothing fancy, great volume > compared to my Lezyne with that super fiddle head that some people can use > with no problems.

I’ve had a good run with the basic specialized model I bought at my local bike store. $35, easy with shrader or presta, nothing fancy, great volume compared to my Lezyne with that super fiddle head that some people can use with no problems.

[RBW] Re: What do Rivendell Riders use for floor pumps?
Ditto the Topeak Joe Blow Sport. I bought it in a Performance Bike store, and the staff recommended it because the return rate is so low compared to the others they stock.

A Silca pump from the mid 80's and a VeloWurks Prime that I was given a few years back.
