Track pump recommendations
Time for a new track pump.
Needs to be suitable for 29+ so ideally large volume and capable of charging the Airshot (160psi)
I can find high pressure or high volume, not both.
Recommendations?

Re: Track pump recommendations
I'm using a 10 y/o Joe Blow Sport to get the Airshot up and running. Typically I will put about 80-100psi in the Airshot and let that go into the tyre, then finish the job with the Airshot valve open and use the pump normally. There are probably better pumps out there these days.

Another vote for Joe Blow here..
Orginally had a Joe Blow which i accidently left in Dirkdegla carpark. Replaced it with a fancy Pro Park Tool jobbie, which at twice the price was half as good!
Now back on another Joe Blow

Re: Track pump recommendations
Been using JoeBlow in pretty much every workshop I've worked in. For good reason, solid, reliable and cheap.

Re: Track pump recommendations
I've got a birzman apogee III. A lovely thing, with a rather clever chuck.
Does presta and schraeder. Goes up to 220 psi. Can be had for around £50.
My airshot is still in the post, but I noticed the online airshot review I watched used the apogee pump. So it'll work fine.
The only downside to the apogee is that it looks so nice that it might belong in the "things you don't want to use in case you knacker them" thread.

Re: Track pump recommendations
Joe Blow here too. "Upgraded" to an expensive Blackburn and it was utter poor show (mostly the head). Picked up a specialised which was also good but JB is still the one I use for tubeless etc (don't use an Airshot, haven't needed to and can't get my head round the cost of one).

Re: Track pump recommendations
+1 for joe blow... around 10 pumps or less gets my road tires to 100psi from flat. Around 10 years old too like some of the others...
