Wilhelm87 Posted August 14, 2013 Share I think its time that I get my own floor pump, so that I don't have to be the annoying guy anymore asking my friends to bring theirs with. What is the cheapest floor pump money can buy and from where, that does a good job. Pretoria area Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Bike Posted August 14, 2013 Share you can get one at makro for 100 bucks, but it will die quickly..ASG are selling some on here for 220..great deal MTBc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazshell Posted August 14, 2013 Share Cheap is bad. They look pretty but just don't get the pressure you need and the pressure gauges are inaccurate. Rather spend a bit more (only about an extra R100) and go for a decent Giant, BBB or even the housebrand one fro Sportsmans Warehouse. All around R300 bucks.

Dazshell Posted August 14, 2013 Share I saw the one Mike Bike is referring to from ASG. Pity I had just bought mine, that looked awesome. ASG service also very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DR ◣◢ Posted August 14, 2013 Share http://www.sportsmanswarehouse.co.za/giant-control-tower-3-floor-pump.html#.UgsvwJIweSo Used one of these for a couple of years and recently replaced it with a Birzmann. Gave it to a friend who is happily using it. Not a single problem with it since 2008. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojoman Posted August 14, 2013 Share Bought a RavX 'Blow +' about 18 months ago, paid just over R200. Goes Ok, I use it for 3 bikes.You can get spare hoses etc for them.http://ravx.com/products/blow-x-plus/ Before that I used to hook up my 4x4 compressor! Good times...!Also tried a cheap Midas foot pump, lasted about 3 minutes before it went in the bin....! Edited August 14, 2013 by Mojoman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longbarn Killer Posted August 14, 2013 Share Ryder..........it comes with a Lifetime Warranty. They were very highly rated by a bike mag recently. Mine started leaking air after 2 years. I didn't even have the slip and Omnico replaced it without any question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stretch Posted August 14, 2013 Share go to a car spares shop and buy one - not branded by a bike manufacturer and half the price. I bought a foot pump with gauge that works like a bomb (literally and figuratively) and only cost R110 Pengolian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilhelm87 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Wil head to sportmans warehouse and let you guys know which one I get. At the cycling stores I didn't see anything cheaper than R400. I'd be keen to pay R300 for one. Thanks for the advice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
