Hey guys,

So… I’ve been using a small electric pump for my bikes and e-scooters over the last few years.

They are nice, but really aren’t designed to be used as often as I do.

I’m a fan of low-tech gear, so I’m looking for a good quality floor pump that will last the next 20+ years. Obviously, it needs to be serviceable and have easily replaceable parts. And it needs to be accurate, for sure. LOL

I’m reading reviews from Wirecutter and various cycling sites, and they are all over the place with recommendations. I think a lot of their choices are driven by affiliate links, so there’s that.

Does this unicorn exist?

    I know Silca makes highly regarded floor pumps and they sell replacement parts for the internals. You could check them out. Boy are they expensive though.

      I can’t believe I have to skip over their tire pumps because they aren’t vegan (leather gasket is used). That’s a bummer.

      Edit: Their Terra pump does NOT use a leather gasket, but they also said that this model is their least serviceable pump, and is designed to be a closed system. ☹️

      I mean, maybe it’s a non-issue if the thing lasts 15 years, and I can send it for servicing under warranty (it has a lifetime warranty based on the life of the owner), but I’d really prefer not to have to rely on luck.
