Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Bleedin' pump

Time for a new floor pump. I've been wrestling with a chirpy-cheap/crappy Schwinn thing that kinda worked for a while, but now seems to be intent on either bleeding air out of my tires or huffing it around the outside of the valve, anything but actually putting air into my inner tubes. I seem to recall Pcad raving about a floor pump not too long ago, but haven't seen much else about these little fellas here.

So -- what do you use, any complaints? More usefully, what would you never buy again?

Never buy low end blackburn or whatever. I've got one with a lifetime warranty and need it over and over. The park tool one is working nicely lately. There was a pretty big rant/review/worship thread about floor pumps a few weeks ago.
