Silca. Based on your list I think it is the only one that will last a LONG time and stay accurate.

I’ve had my Silca pump for over a year, it’s used at least 4x a week and you can’t tell that it isn’t brand new.

Your speed matters a lot, sometimes you need to be very fast, where sometimes you need to breakdown your speed.

I have SILCA pista that is 49 years old this year. Still a daily user. Not the fastest but a really good pump.

Why not the lezyne as I owned the specialized air tool for many years as well as the joe blow both eventually broke down. The lezyne steel is $50 and better than both those by far. Easier to pump and the head is much better.

1) Silca (but I much prefer the Superpista which is not in the suggested price range)
2) Lezyne Alloy ....love it

which one of lezyne is good?

I would go with the Silca Pista of those. I will say you can't beat the $49 Topeak JoeBlow Sport III. It really is superb pump for the price. I still often pair it with the Silco Hiro for the disc though.

I like the Alloy Floor Drive

And lezyne has good valves for discs

I have a $20 pump from performancebike.com that works great.

Edit: I just looked up what I have, it's a Topeak JoeBlow Sport III Floor Pump, Yellow. My receipt says it was $29.95 and not $20.

I had a Topeak Joe Blow. It is a good pump. I demoted that to garage use and now I have a Silca Pista that is my everyday pump. It is a great pump.

x4. Love my Lezyne pump and it's a good value for the cost.

And here I was complaining to myself how much a bike saddle costs!!

100 bucks for a floor pump? Shit I can go to Home Depot and buy a decent 3 gallon air compressor for that much.

I have a 15 year old $20 Blackburn that still works like a charm.

Yep
I've an older model of the Joe Blow and can't see any reason why I'd spend significantly more if I'm ever in the market for a new one. Sure you might get a more accurate gauge, you might not. And I'd rather my gauge was separate from the pump anyway.....so not terribly relevant.

Of the ones on your list it's Silca, no contest. With the hiro head, if possible.

I've also been very happy with Lezyne. For road tires I would consider the alloy travel pump because it won't take that many strokes to pressure up even with that pump, but it lays flat in a carry-on for travel and weighs less than 2 lbs. Only downsides are a few extra strokes and the one-foot design, which personally doesn't bother me at all bit some don't like it. I'm a minimalist I'm some ways and got this pump so I wouldn't have to have a separate pump just for travel.

I owned a silca from the early '80s that was an excellent pump and finally failed because the aluminum base cracked. 10 years ago I was given a newer one as a gift and found it to be cheap and flimsy. Since the company has been purchased or reorganized or whatever it appears that the new model has all of the nice features of my old beloved pump with some improvements to the base which was kind of an Achilles heel. They deliver mediocre performance for many many years. An entire generation developed strength imbalances from pumping with one hand while holding the chuck on with the other

I tried ordering the Lezyne CNC Digital Drive through my LBS, but they were having a hard time finding one in stock. In my opinion, it is the best looking pump. I own a Lezyne mini frame pump, and it's worked well for years and years. Aside from the all-metal construction and a nice head, it did seem like it was probably built similar to every other pump. You still get an o-ring on the plunger instead of a nice leather gasket, like the silca. I also couldn't find a definitive answer on how accurate their digital gauge is at a variety of pressures (since depending on the bike i would like accurate readings from 18psi-100psi).

Anyway, since they were having problems finding one in stock, i decided to cough up more cash and buy the Silca Superpista Digital. It hasn't arrived yet, but I'm eagerly waiting. It should be plenty accurate for the range of pressures i need. It should also be the last pump I ever need to buy. Honestly, i don't find it nearly as beautiful to look at as the Lezyne, but I'm hopeful that it performs better.

My other pumps are a Specialized Air Tool Comp I bought back in 2007 that has a Silca presta chuck on it and some red bontrager high pressure pump that I bought a few years ago. The Specialized reads very close to my accu-gage. The bontrager is about 5psi off from 15psi-50psi. My accugage only goes to 60psi, so i haven't checked it any higher.

Sometimes the little things in life can make you feel really good. A fresh roasted Ethiopian pourover is a much more enjoyable start to the day than the Colombian roast from 7-Eleven. Both get the job done and both are worth the money you pay for them; but one provides a little extra happiness. I look at these pumps the same way. I know that every time I use the Silca it will give me just a little hit of excitement that I don't get from the Bontrager or Specialized. To me, I think it will be worth the extra expense.

Thanks everyone for reply.
This morning I got an AD email from Silca, "Buy pista foor pump (which was on my list), get hiro chuck for $10!( $55 OFF). Ordered Pump + hiro for $155 total.

That’s my current exact setup, and I love it. That pump is stupid easy to swap out chucks, so you can drop the original on if you want to.

I personally love my silca pumps.....I have a superpista that stays at home and use it multiple times per week. I also have the pista (and the matching bag) that I carry in my vehicle and to races, etc. I have had a number of other pumps, and once I had a silca, anything else just doesn't seem as nice! I do have a toppeak large volume pump for my winter fat biking (way lower pressures)...but I find myself wishing silca made one :)

Never a bad decision Ksavostin. Twenty years from now you will be cost averaging your inflations out under a half a cent each. I would buy a couple of the leather washers and keep the one in the barrel greased up. It really helps the pressure build faster. The leather washers wear for around 5 years each, at least that is what I average. Also the rubber gasket in the pump head gets a couple years as well.

I have a lezyne steel. It was something like $50

I think it looks awesome and that’s why I bought it

The rubber gasket in the head (or maybe the spring in the head?) is starting to go bad tho after 5 years. No idea if that’s replaceable or not. ... but before that happened I’d have said I have no idea what a better pump could do than this one

Silca seems to rename/label their pumps pretty often....
Where does this fit in their line of pumps? How does it compare to the black super pista they recently discontinued (the one that was one step down from their ultimate pump, or whatever it was called)?

We have lots of bikes here, the floor pump gets to be used a lot.
Rubber gaskets get slack with use. Check the rubber gasket. Easy replacement for pennies.
You can have the head replaced also.
I have two JOe Blow Sport, nice pumps, but for heavy use or high pressure they're not the best.
I also have the Pro BikeGear Team HV that has been great for the last 3 years. But had to change the head though.

Will buy a Lezyne but don't know wich model yet.

Louis :)

You know what - I just looked closely at my pump. I bought it 7 years ago, and it actually isn’t a lezyne (although it looks like it)

I’m now going to upgrade to either lezyne or silca...

Thanks for the heads up! I just did the same :)

I received my Silca Super Pista Digital on Friday. So far, I’m happy with the purchase. The Hiro chuck is easy to use and a beautiful piece of art on its own. The pump has a magnetic holder for the chuck near the top, right next to the digital gauge. The base also has a magnetic holder, which is good for me because I already owned one of the Silca Presta chucks. The spare Presta chuck fits perfectly on this magnetic holder, so if I ever have a problem with the Hiro I have a secondary chuck ready to go.

It’s pretty tall and seems heavy duty. The stroke is longer than my other pumps. It took 25 pumps to get my 24c tires up to 100 psi. My Bontrager TurboCharger HP took 30 pumps for the same psi. I used one hand on both pumps. Above 85psi the Silca became a little more difficult to pump with one hand than the bontrager, but I was still able to do it.

I didn’t realize it in pictures, but it has an airfoil shape…not that a pump has any reason to be aero, but it at least helps the pump look unique. With the black body, black handle, and black base, having a unique shape is one of the few things that visually sets this pump apart from others. There isn’t a whole lot of bling, but that’s ok for me.

I purchased this pump for several reasons. One, I wanted a highly accurate digital gauge on my pump. Two, I wanted a pump that would last a long time. Three, I wanted a pump that was satisfying to use. I know that sounds weird, but I ride a lot of different surfaces on different bikes, and run different pressures frequently. I use a pump a few times per week, so I want it to feel good. I have a love for things that are over-engineered, rather than being built “good enough.” My bontrager and specialized pumps were good enough for a few years of use, but my hope is that this Silca is over-built and will last decades with minor maintenance (similar to my beloved e46 m3).

This pump meets all my expectations. The only strike I have is that it isn’t as beautiful as the Super Pista Ultimate. The hose is rubber, rather than braided steel. The black isn’t as attractive as the stainless Ultimate, or even the high level Lezyne pumps.
