Two pumps that are surprisingly good

Two pumps that are surprisingly good
Today, I helped out another cyclist who had a flat, and I used, for the first time, my Bontrager Air Support Road. It fills on both the push & pull, and has a fold out handle for leverage. In just a couple of minutes, I had her tire filled to what felt like 100 psi, and could have gone more. It's a great pump that fits under a bottle cage.
My floor pump is a Nashbar L'il Orange, which is really good. I had to tighten some allen screws & the hose attachment, but it works really good, and it's tall enough so that I don't have to bend over to push down all the way.
~$25.00 for the frame pump, ~$32.00 for the Nashbar (coupon, of course).

I can vouch for the L'Orange as well. Very nice floor pump.

Been using the Topeak Road and Mt.Morph for several years on our tandem.
Pumps 100 lbs of air with 100 pump strokes into our 700x25 road tires.
'Almost' a pleasure to have a flat!
In the garage keep a Lezyne floor pump; very happy with that one too!

I got lucky and came across a Topeak Micro Rocket CB that was barely used for $15.
For MTBing, I used the TOPEAK Peak DX Ⅱ MasterBlaster. My floor pump is a Topeak Joe Blow Pro.
It's been flawless (and has served me well on my truck tires too in emergencies).
My next pumps will be Lezyne (a mini carbon pump and alloy drive pump).
