Can anyone recommend a decent (accurate and robust) foot pump. Had a few including Michelin, all flimsy and have tacky plastic adapters at valve end that wear out/snap. I take one on track days, in rucksack. Ruffs
In terms of accuracy any pump will do it but I would then check the pressures with a digital guage. That way you could use a single cylinder foot pump and just adjust the pressures using the guage. Wouldnt recommend riding with one in a ruck-sack to be honest but its do-able. Wonder if this would do? Prob a bit too big still.

I have the dual cylinder michelin one which has lasted me a couple of years and is still going well (touch wood). The guage is pretty accurate when checked against a halfords digital guage.
I have had several over the years and the Michelin is the best its also the most powerful and consistant but its adaptor is plastic and a flaw
Also have the Michelin dual cylinder & agree with comments regarding the adaptor. Have tried single & dual cylinder Halfords footpumps, but they were not very robust. Always check tyre pressures with a trusted/accurate guage.
Thanks for advice chaps. Had a Michelin one - plastic adaptor gave out after a few months. Agree Halfords models a bit flimsy. Generally pump up with whatever dodgy pump I own at the time, and deflate to required pressure using nice Draper gauge with brass fittings. Will keep looking! Ruffs
