Bought a Schwinn brand floor pump about a year ago from Target...uhmmm lasted almost exactly a year before it blew out some sort of valve on the head so that the air only comes out of the flip out ball inflator cone. Not even worth trying to fix it because the pump was a bear to use with the pump head always resistant to being installed on any tire valve and then blowing off before you hit 100 PSI no mater how well you seat the head on the tire valve. I should have just spend the extra ten bucks and got a better built pump from my LBS! Had higher hopes on the pump becuause if first impressions on it's all steel pump body construction,but I gues I was to optomistic. My Zefal plastic floor pump before it lasted almost 20 years without fail inflating all sorts of tires from my bike to my car and van tires. I guess that's why Zefal have been a big name in pumps for all these years.
I did check out their Bell computers some time ago and they do look promising. The helmets they sell look OK for someone who might not care too much about styling, I guess.
