[Hedz]

Hey guys I'm in the market for a new pump an was wondering what is the best price decent pump to go for for a presta valve mtb? Do I use a pump or do I go co2 bombs. Thanks in advance guys.

Nooit!

Dont believe it.

I got a Giant pomp from SW, and it worked exactly once...

But apart from quality, I found a pomp that has worked flawlessly since I got it, and is wider so has a bigger volume for less pomping of big MTB tires.

 

Only about R500, and I use it before I ride.

Bombs I take with for on the ride.

Get a converter for your presta valves to shraeder. The presta valves are going to bend and break at some stage if you use a hand pump.

 

co2 bombs are great to have as a backup carry atleast 2. Especially if you have tubeless wheels. But you still need a good pump in your camelback as well!

Now, that I'd like to see,

 

@OP, specify, one to carry with you on the bike, or a floor pump for home use?

Had a cheap Giant one, had a more expensive Topeak one, both were crap. Topeak one is laying in the veld somewhere in the Magalies area after it became airborne...!

 

Now I just ride with 3 bombs. Then again I have those thornproof tubes and tyre liners and never (touch wood) get a puncture.

Hey...that is my line.

 

To the OP....lezyne makes some sweet little "pompies" check it.

[scotty]

i have 2 floor pumps for home use and carry 1 small bike pump and 2 bombs when out cycling.

 

Quick sales pitch, in Ride Mag i see for 94.7 expo Solomons are selling 10 16g bombs for R100.

Wasting your time looking at anything else.

Nought dudes, I can't believe you will go to these lengths. All you need to do is find rouxtjie standing on single track somewhere and shout TREK!!! and then he'll give you one for free!! (hehe, sorry I couldn't resist!)

I've heard that bombs can mess with the sealant...

 

A nice portable pump would be one like this: http://www.lezyne.com/products/hand-pumps/high-volume#!Alloy-Drive it has a flexible hose so you have less chance of breaking off the valve. They go for about R250.

Lezyne Alloy Drive pump - best carry-on pump I've used. It's very easy to use and works 100% every time!
