I do not like pumps and hoses that need to screw onto the valve in order to inflate tube.
On the road with a handpump, i think its easier to pump with a hose on the valve, rather than hold the pump streight in. Its easy to bend the valve when (i think) when you put the pump right on the valve (manby beacuse i am i an idiot)
