Just for an example, this pump will go to 180 psi if need be; is completely user seviceable, and will out live your grandkids.

I have been interested in this pump for a while. I like that it is meant to out last the owner. However, some of the reviews I have read on Amazon haven't been very favorable. So, I have been considering a lezyne which looks good on the outside but not too sure how serviceable it is.

I have had a few problems with my Joe Blow Pro. I have had to change the O'ring a few times and these O'rings are only available from Topeak. Now I am having some problems with the Smart Head leaking. I like that I can buy parts for the Silca pump almost anywhere that sells bike parts. Also, the Silica has a leather plunger rather than an O'ring so it should last a lot longer.

merlinextraligh, do you own one of these Silca pumps? How well does it work?
