Does anybody want a decent footpump?

I went out to get a new footpump, expecting to get the usual Machine Mart/Sealey/ Draper stuff. Amazed to find something a lot better.

Michelin

The large footpad makes it a lot more comfortable and easy to use.

If anybody wants one it would be £18 inc VAT - I think retail is about £25.

I am not sure how I would arrange delivery - they are quite heavy!

They had single barrel ones for a couple of quid less.

I use this and I'd recommend 'em.

Hey - that looks rather good.

I'm currently using a Halfords Brass barreled pump with a shorter than stock hose and although the pum is ok - the hose is irritatingly short.

Is this Michelin one REALLY sturdy?? That'd be the most important factor for me.

I haven't done any long term testing - only had it a week!!!

It is streets ahead of the usual cheapo competition in quality of finish and operation. It feels good and strong and it is very comfortable to use. That big footplate really works.

What more can I say?

I was given the single barreled version a year or so ago and find it very good although the pressure dial is U/S.

Looks good....but I use a mini Halfords 12v/200PSI which i run from the BMW power socket on my Aprilia.Works great and can take it anywhere.

I'm not familiar with the halfords mini pump but using a standard 200psi pump,, various brands , remove unecessary packaging, leaves you with what looks like a model aircraft engine with a dc motor attatched, a single piston mini compressor ,fits in any bag.
