A LBS recommended a bottom end Blackburn, which works well and has a double chuck head: double, good; the annular valve lock is awkward, though. Sub $40. The shop man claimed this model is the one they used in the shop.
Even better: Big Specialized floor pump for $10 at Goodwill, with what I think is a dual use (as opposed to dual chuck) head with nice, long, strong steel locking lever. At first I hated the design: shove it onto a Presta and lose all the air before you can get the thumblock locked. But after I learned the technique, much prefer it to the dual chuck kind. I still am not proficient with Shraeder valves, though, and for those -- dtr's bike with 20" wheels, beater -- use a $10 foot pump from Pep Boys. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
