Best bike pump (shop quality model)?
My orange Serfas FMP500 bike pump finally blew-up (no pun intended) yesterday- served me well for about 3 years. Had a 220 PSI capability and may buy another.
Any others out there worth taking a look at. Blackburn, Topeak, etc?

Topeak Joe Blow Pro. Check it out on Amazon and make sure to read the reviews. I have one and love it.

Depending on what happened to it you may be able to fix it. Those are meant to last more than a couple of years, more like a couple of decades+
Call around to your LBSs one of them can probably fix it for much less than a newer cheapo pump.

Hmm, I'm not sure about that either. I just use it to pump up the tires on my one bike to 125 psi and it works like a charm. A feature I particularly like is the pressure relief button that allows me to bleed off pressure if I go too high.
