Can anyone recommend a good track pump, capable of swapping between schrader and presta quickly and easily and decent VFM, certainly no more than £40.

It's for MTB tyres so only relatively low pressures required.

Ta!

Topeak Joe Blow from Halfords, it's yellow and does all types of valve without faff. About 30 quid smile

+1 smile double ended for both valves, nothing the change or unscrew! also pumps a tyre up flipping quick.

Yet another one, good bit of kit, not as good as a SFS but nowhere near the price, available in other retailers that don't wear orange polo shirts.

Lezyne Floor Drive here, it's great. I can't remember which exact model though...

Specialized Sport thingy for me. In budget, works a treat, does both valves with no adjustment. Has lasted me ages!

Joe Blow, although mine doesn't grip the valve so well any more.

You can buy repair kits and replacement ends.

Thanks, 18. I have already replaced the seal once, I guess it's time to do it again.

Another Joe Blow vote.
I tried quite a few of the supermarket cheapies......most of them going back well within warranty for a refund, spent that little bit more and Joes been blowing like a good one for a year or two now with no issues. smile

Looks like quite a unanimous verdict on the Joe Blow then, I'll probably get one from Evans seeing as I've still got vouchers from christmas that I've not spent yet! Cheers everyone!
