Cycling Weekly's best budget floor pump.
Cycling Weekly's most accurate floor pump.
Cycling Weekly's pick for the most secure valve connection.
If you set pressure carefully, a precise gauge matters. Cycling Weekly singles out one pump as most accurate.
Check it fits Presta and Schrader, and that the head locks on securely so it doesn't leak while you pump.
Road tyres commonly run around 70 to 100 psi. Almost every floor pump goes well beyond that.
High-volume pumps inflate quickly, but seating a tubeless tyre often needs a booster or compressor.
It depends on tyre width, rider weight and conditions, and it's usually lower than people expect. Never exceed the maximum printed on the tyre sidewall.
Yes at home: it's faster and more accurate. Keep a mini pump for the road.
