Rating:
Pros
- Comfy in use
- Few stokes needed to inflate tyre
Cons
- Component change needed to swap between valve types
We test seven of the best track pumps
While not a buying choice per se, it's testament to the rest of the features as nothing detracted from this quality feel.
The 90-degree Speed Chuck head simply pushes onto Presta valves and holds in place.
Verdict
The angled head also means it will work well with oddly shaped or enclosed wheels. It will fit both valve types but does need a component reorienting to do so. While this loses it a perfect 10, the 22-stroke performance and quality feel warrant the highscore.

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.
