So, I thought I'd ask the mechanics which pump they'd recommend. At this point, I'm willing to drop some serious coin, if necessary, to get a good pump. For me a good pump would be one that lasted more than a few months, had an accurate guage, and pushed a lot of air with each stroke.

What do people recommend?

Thanks....
my wife bought the last floor pump (cringe) and she came home with an ascent pump for performance.

oh no, i thought....what has she done?

i was sure i would hate the house brand pump but frankly it puts the silca to shame. pushes more air, levered chuck release so the a chuck doesn't shoot off the valve like a bullet, dinging my hub.

i'm not sure of the model but i really like this pump in the last year i have been using it!
