Whenever I am out with mates and a puncture occurs-I know what I have to do and that is to get the pump off my bike. It is the only pump that can be relied on to work out of all the riders. And this has been the case for the last 15 years which is the last time I had a Pump fail.
Regular bike service will also include a check that the pump works- and every 3 months it is stripped down- seals checked and Re-greased where necessary ( "Special" grease for rubber seals) and then tested.
And current road bikes pumps are a Mini Morph and a Road Morph. The Mini morph works well up to 120psi but it takes a long time to get there- Haven't tried the road morph in anger yet but hopefully it will not take as long.
