I have a Specialized Air Tool Pro as well. I’m looking at the Silca Pista. It’s $125

I have a Topeak Joe Blow, and it has been a great pump. The gauge is very accurate compared to my analog external Accugage gauge. The head is versatile and works well with both valve types. I love the high capacity per stroke.

That said, I recently switched to a Silca Pista because it connects easier to my Silca Hiro chuck. I love that chuck. The Topeak gauge is more accurate than my Silca gauge.

Have you had any issues with the standard Silca presta head (the 17-4) not working short to medium valve lengths? I have that head mounted on my specialized pump, and when it works it's amazing; however, on the tubeless valves i used most often, it doesn't grip.To me, the valve looks plenty long. My bontrager pump grips it fine with plenty of excess showing.

Do you like the Pista? How hard is it to pump with 2 hands? Did you get the travel bag?

I actually never used the standard head. I bought the Hiro chuck first, and was loving it. But, I had a jacked-up attachment to get it to work with my Topeak pump. I splurged and got the Pista and immediately swapped the chucks. Now I use the Topeak pump as my general around-the-house pump, and I use the Pista for just my bikes (it is a lot more compact and easier to travel with).
I love the Pista. It is good looking, especially with its fancy wooden handle. And, it is easier to travel with than the much larger Topeak pump. It is easy to pump one or two handed. About the only disadvantage to my other pump is the lower capacity per pump stroke. And, I wish that the gauge was like 110 or 120 PSI instead of 220 PSI. I will probably never pump a tire above 100 PSI, so over 50% of the gauge's range is useless to me.

I did not get the travel bag. I really liked it, and I would use it. But, the extra $75 was a bit rich for a nylon bag. Plus, when I use it for races, I just strap it to the side of my transition bag.

I'm sold then! I wanted a nice travel pump to replace my aging Specialized pump but I don't have a need for the $450 SuperPista. Thanks! I'll order one soon

i love my lezyne alloy floor drive pump. the head screws on for both presta and shrader valves so there's never any question on whether you seated it correctly. i had an issue with it once and lezyne quickly sent me a replacement seal which took me all of 5 minutes to replace.

"I swim because that's how I get to ride my bike."

I got a Topeak Joe Blow... Inexpensive up front (like $50? don't really even remember), never given me a moment's trouble. I'm willing to spend the coin for fancy shoes, wheels, etc, so if I really thought the pimpest pump was worth $200 I could stomach that, but I can't see any way that it could do the job any better or more reliably than the JB. I've since gotten a second one for the vacation home; no worthwhile reason to choose something else just to be different that I could see.

Love my Lezyne. Added a Silca 'Hiro side lever locking chuck' , and even better!

I have been thinking about putting a Hiro chuck on my Leznye. Can you just unscrew the old fitting and screw on the Hiro?

If you ever plan on tubeless, consider the topeak booster pump. It's about $150...works great pumping up normal tubes and I've used it to seat both cross and MTB tubeless wheels (soon to try road as well).

I use a performance (nashbar?) blue pump. It's like 15 years old. Perfect. Accurate pressure gauge. Why do you want fancy pumps? Replaceable parts? Hah! Buy a $50 pump, use it for years, replace when (if) it breaks. I think that my pump was $20 back in the day, maybe $15 on sale...

My pump has the reversible adapter for presta and schrader. The hiro adapter screws into the schrader side. The only draw back is that the hose and Hiro are to long to fit into the hook at the bottom of the pump.

I have one of the cheaper Performance Bike floor pumps too. It's great, pumps air into the tires. Gauge is accurate. Why spend a ton on a floor pump - its such a utilitarian thing??

I bought that. Works. has a gauge. Better than my old one which is wo gauge. Accuracy unknown of course

I had blue Nashbar pump that is fine.

Very happy with my Lezyne travel pump.... I added a presta locking pump head and its a slam dunk for me with a total out of pocket of ~$100.

You can completely rebuild the pump. I have mine (I don't have the Pro version). $7-9 kit does everything. Worth looking at. THe rebuild option is why I bought mine.

I have the Joe Blow and a Blackburn Air Tower. They ride around in our cars, get used by the kids, work for both valve kinds...both are less than $50 and have accurate gauges. Don't overthink it.

Yeah, I bought the Performance Hurricane Essential (now called the Spin Doctor 2) for $19 about ten years ago. I use it daily and it's still going strong. The double sided chuck is a great design and the best Presta/Schrader solution I've seen.

Another vote for the Lezyne floor drive. I have both the HP and HV versions. I have had issues with their chucks at times, but Lezyne has replaced them free every time.

Don't think mine is worth it. The check valve in the gauge is shot and it doesn't hold pressure.
