And Zephal gets that longer is better and supplies the pump in four lengths so you can fit the longest possible on your bike.

The HPX. Not a hot new name, no flash, just a pump that will fill your tires easily many, many times. (I had the predecessor, the HP on my bikes in my racing days and no other pump. Maintaining sew-ups on all my bikes with just those pumps was no big deal. It was 18 years before I bought a floor pump. I used the classic digital pressure gauge that most of us have lying around somewhere. Thumb and fore finger.)
