Recommended tire pump

[paulri]

I have two girls bikes that need to be inflated up to 40 psi. I have an old compressor that limits psi to 31; it won't go over that. I'd like to get the tires up to their recommended PSI, so I'll want a hand pump.

This isn't anything that would need to go on a bike frame--it could just stay in my garage, but I'd like to be able to work a hand pump to get a tire up to at least 40 psi.

Cheap is nice, but not at the expense of durability. I don't need lots of gizmo options---just a good old fashioned pump.

Any recommendations? If I could get something below $30 that would be great.

I use this, and it works. Near $30... https://www.amazon.com/Performance-Glueless-Puncture-T-Valve-Schrader/dp/B017ADD9N4

This one is cheaper and probably works... https://www.amazon.com/Bell-Attack-High-Volumn-Bicycle/dp/B00PO9BJ4S/

I have this Schwinn pump, it's been OK.

4 1/2 stars with over 1000 reviews on amazon. 25 bucks. That looks very good.

The vertical push down types fill faster but are hard to push and awkward to hunch over.

I like the foot pumps. They will also do 60-70 psi for your compact spare.

I have worn them out but it's probably because I use them much more than my vertical one. Don't rely on any built in gauge.

I'm happy with the Topeak Joe Blow Sport - if you can find it on sale at the local LBS/REI or Amazon, it's a good solid pump. No "automatic" chuck to break and it's built well for the price.

Every serious rider I can think of used a Joe Blow.
I bought two when I used to ride a lot, one for home and one for work...the one at work ended up at the condo, but, unfortunately, neither one has gotten much use in a couple of years. I find them to be very solid units that just work, had some odd brand when I first bought a road bike as an adult that was a big PITA to connect with Presta valves...it was very expensive but some bike shop owner talked me into it, ended up giving it away and buying my first Joe Blow.

I have a Serfa that I like. No problems with it.

My wife and I have THREE hand bike pumps. My wife is an avid biker and has an expensive German made Rennkompressor floor bike pump, I have my Chinese made Bell hand pump I got at Wal-Mart and an American made Air Power America I got at Wal-Mart for $9 to carry in a Subaru long ago.

The Cheap BELL pump is my favorite.

If you like made in America, look no further: https://www.amazon.com/Power-America-7500-MaxAir-High/dp/B000BYM4UE

Gave it a look, but 1/3 of the amazon reviews are 1 star. I don't like those odds. I'm glad your seems to have worked out well.

Good Tire Pump

I got tired of breaking pumps, so I got this. About 5 years old and haven't broken it yet.
