Looking for a high quality manual T-handle (not foot) pump to keep in the garage. An integral pressure gauge would be nice.
Any suggestions? Thanks. |

I use one of these for bicycles, motorcycles, automobiles, and game balls. The amount of air it pushes on a single charge is shocking. Portable and easy to use. I might buy another at this price.

The best T handle floor pump is a Silca. I bought one circa 2000 and it's still going very strong, as is the price. I doubt I even gave $50 back then.
Silca Pista Mine has lived in hot humid garages it's whole life, with a few winter time days around freezing. So far the only problem is the plastic cover got knocked off the pressure gauge. It rolled off under a bunch of stuff. It worked fine without it for a couple of years until we moved, cover was found and re-attached. Want to pump a road bike up to 120psi? No problem, quick and easy. |

If you're keeping it in the garage, the park tool inf-2 is what you want.

Had a Topeak forever. Hose started getting dry rot and cracking. Called them up, they sent a brand new replacement hose and inflator with zero questions, no receipt, nothing. Exceptional customer service.

Now to ask a stupid question, but will the "Pro chuck" work on Schrader valves? I'll be using this pump on Schraders and balls (i.e. "needle" valves, not sure what they're technically called) |

Presta on one, Schrader on the other. Those needles are Schrader threaded so it screws right in.

Lezyne or silca .
I have a couple of lezyne floor pumps and a specialized low pressure pump for mountain bike tires. Decide what you need it for, high pressure say 180psi or low pressure high volume. Mine are 120 max psi I think |

Different topic:
Who makes a good bike computer? I got these for my 5YO and 8YO. They are very laggy and sometimes read zero while riding. Looking for something simple and inexpensive but responsive and reliable. Thanks for any suggestions. |

Don't expect much in terms of features, but for reliability they should be solid. Something like this maybe:

I used an inexpensive Eastern Mountain Sports Blackburn pump for about a decade before the head broke.
I use my brother's Canondale regularly. It works well. The bike shop that I go to regularly has a Fabric Stratosphere Pro Track, which is very pricey metal and marine grade ply affair. One of these days I want to buy one of those. |

Not to ask a really dumb question, but how exactly is this Lezyne adapter used on a Schrader valve? Where's the pin and the clamping mechanism?
Thanks.   |

Thanks. https://i.imgur.com/7ij6ryB.jpg https://i.imgur.com/wQCSqOv.jpg It just screws on bro.  It creates a seal, then the inside depresses the pin. When you unscrew it releases the pin before the seal is broken. |

I haven't tried it yet. I don't remember the air chuck on the pump having any kind of swivel, but it must. Thanks. |

The entire brass body rotates freely. Allows for screwing it onto the valves. There is also a little black button that allows bleeding off air. |

Looking for something simple and inexpensive but responsive and reliable. Thanks for any suggestions. If the computer is running on a hall effect sensor, getting the sensor close enough to the magnet on the spokes is critical. It's a little pricey for what it does, but I run these on all the bikes.

Do not get a cheap foot pump off Amazon. I think mine needs 1000 pumps to move the needle.
