1) Presta only (not a deal breaker)
2) pressure gauge mounted high on the pump for readability
3) Easy to get 120 psi
4) sturdy
I'd rather just buy it once and be done with it, I'm not interested in getting the cheapest pump out there that will work for 3 months, or is difficult to use. Those combo heads seem to be iffy when pumping up presta tubes to high pressure, which is why I'd rather not deal with it. I'd also like a pump that doesn't mangle the presta valve over time.
Any thoughts? Thanks.
I love my Lezyne Alloy floor pump. It twists on your valves instead of just pushing on, which makes sure you don't lose air taking/putting it off. That and it's a damn good looking pump.
