FWE 160S track pump £27.99

FWE’s 160S sits at the more economical end of the track pump spectrum. For under £30 you get a large steel barrel that’ll get tyres up to 160psi. Inflating a 29x2.3in tyre to 30psi takes just over 20 strokes. The diamondshaped footplate grips prevent any slippage underfoot and the steel base is good and sturdy. While the pressure gauge is mounted at the base of the pump, its large size means it’s easy to read. The size of the gauge also gives the 160S an almost triangular footprint, which adds to the stability. A dual head makes it easy to switch between valve types, giving a firm fit every time. The hose is plenty long enough too. We found the height of the pump, stroke length and handle comfortable enough for a track pump at this price. Our only request would be a bleed valve to make it easier to fine tune pressures. Matt www.evanscycles.com
