We test seven of the best track pumps

Hitting the top price in the test, our expectations for the Pedros pump were high.

A metallic base and barrel will make for a very good life span and there was very little movement between them.

That said it wasn't the most stable as the base platform wasn't the largest. Performance was ok at 27 strokes but the hose is only just long enough for workstand use.

The locking lever feels very secure and the dual valve head is good on both valve types.

Verdict

Colour coded Kraton rubber handles are comfy enough but a little short. Overall, it's good but not great.

A high pressure gauge location is easier to read. Any serious racer needs to make sure their tyres are at the optimum pressure. Whether racing on the track, the road, or time-trialling.

Working in a shop, we use pumps for customers to demo bikes upwards of 100 times per day. The 'Joe Blow" has outlasted all other pumps we carry in the shop by more than a factor of 10. Most pumps barely last a week under these conditions, which would equate to a respectable life use for most customers. If you figure most folks use there pump an average of two to three times per week, that would be at least a couple of years. To last that much longer says something to the quality of this pump.
