how many pumps do you have ?
ok i got this guy:
https://www.amazon.com/Industries-MV5...5&sr=8-2-fkmr2
i am almost certainly getting this guy:
https://www.amazon.com/Lezyne-Road-Dr...6035227&sr=8-1
in medium silver
but i am also considering this unit:
https://www.amazon.com/Lezyne-Alloy-F...6035323&sr=8-7
but i am wondering if three pumps is too much ?
my electric pump works AWESOME on cars and on my mountain bike back in NY, but i am not sure i want to use it on my road bike ?
i want an easy to use and accurate pump to maintain constant pressure in my tires. the road drive doesn't have a pressure gauge and is somewhat hard to use. the electric one requires you to open the hood, connect it directly to the battery ( its too powerful for lighter adapter ) is quite heavy and cumbesome and it would be difficult to control the pressure with it accurately because it flows air extremely fast ( about 3 times faster than gas station pumps ).
what do you think ?

[edit - on-topic] I have one pump, a Joe Blow floor pump. I carry those ticking time-bomb CO2 cartridges on the bike.
