I tried many pumps and this was by fare the best. Easy and sturdy.
The new silcas seem junky to me in comparison.

I also like the Joe Blow because parts for it (eg replacement gasket) are
relatively easy to come by.

When I first got my job at Citybikes in 1995, I needed to replace a
cheap floor pump I'd scored at a yard sale. The first purchase I made
on my shop discount was a Zefal "Husky" pump. I still have that pump
and use it regularly. Even though it's heavier than most, I take it
along for neutral suppo

A LBS recommended a bottom end Blackburn, which works well and has a double
chuck head: double, good; the annular valve lock is awkward, though. Sub
$40. The shop man claimed this model is the one they used in the shop.
Even better: Big Specialized floor pump for $10 at Goodwill, with what I

I was thinking about replacing the hose on my Silca with the Topeak dual head

I also have a venerable Silca floor pump. Long ago put a new hose on
it, and updated to a dual-head chuck so it works with both kinds of
valves. It now lives in my car.

The brass head is Presta, and you click off the end of it to reveal the
Shrader, which screws on.
I'll second the Park, if only because the gauge up top makes it easy
to see for those near sighted people such as I who refuse to put on
the specs until actually on the bike.
Silcas apparently are back on the market and as lovely as ever.
Either the new manufacturer is a shadow of the former or t
I have had great luck with the Park PFP-4. It even has built-in
storage for inflation needles for soccer and basketballs. Sometimes
you can find it under $40:

One of the cheap Topeak Joe Blow variants. Don't spend more than $40.
