I have narrowed my choice to two pumps. The Lezyne Road Drive and the Silca Tattico.
I like the Lezyne pump for the following reasons.
It comes in chrome color.
It's a little longer measuring 11 inches.
The mount is aluminum.
What I don't like is the fact that the screw on head often unscrews the valve cores.
What I like about the Silca Tattico is that the head won't remove my valve cores.
I should add that this pump will be used on a road bike with700 X 25 tires.
I would appreciate input from those that have used these pumps.
Like the others, I vote for the Lezyne Road Drive. The only issue I have had with mine is that I neglected to grease the threads on the hose where it screws into the pump body. I discovered the threads were frozen when trying to help somebody else, but if I had been alone and needed a pump, I would have been screwed. I was able to unscrew the hose with the help of pliers and greased the threads. Do that once a year from now on!
