If you ever decide to replace the Joe Blow, take a look at Lezyne. The Joe Blow pump will became a back up pump or maybe I will donate it to a worthy cause.
I've had my JB Pro for about a year and a half. I love it. It does what it's supposed to do.
I was going to purchase a 2nd cheaper pump to keep on my job site for those days I rode to work.
But then, I decided that if I'm going to buy a pump, I'm going to buy a Lezyne CNC Floor Pump
as well and make the JB the back up pump. I'm pretty much in love with everything Lezyne.

I wanted a Lezyne Carbon Mini Pump, but came across a Topeak Carbon Micro Rocket (hardly used for $15)
which again, does what it's supposed to do. So, until it breaks or fails on me, I'm going to roll with it.

I'm a fan of Topeak. Everything they make suits me until I need to upgrade. Matter of fact, just dropped
the plastic bottle cages I had on my CAAD and replaced them with Carbon Arundel Mandibel Cages.
