The verdict

Any pump in this test will be a worthwhile addition to the tool cabinet if all you have is a hand pump, however large it is, but here at the CA test bench, good enough isn’t what we are after.

This test has proven that when it comes to floor pumps, the step up in performance when you pay just £10 extra is easily worth it in the main. SKS’s £30 pump bucks the trend somewhat and is a great performer we’d be happy to use every day.

Sometimes however, there is a standout performer — the Lezyne. With the caveat that those cyclists who regularly use both valve types may find the valve swapping method tedious, we cannot recommend the Sport FD highly enough. Not only the simple attachment but the quality feel and comfort in use easily make this the standout performer.
