    No contest whatsoever: Zefal HPX. Beats 99% of the floor pumps.

    I use whatever my buddies are carrying. A pump you don't have to carry is the best.

    That's what everybody else on my group ride does. I'm enabling them.

    So you guys don't have a follow car with spare wheels? Who pumps their own tires these days.

    I'm curious to try out the Topeak, but you can have my HPX when you pry it from my cold, dead hands.

    I have the new Park on my main bike, but there'll be an HPX on it pronto if the Park ever lets me down. I do have another bike with a Silca on the frame--and a CO2 inflator in the seat bag.

    I've got Topeak on one bike (to fit along the left seat stay) and Zefal HPX (under top tube) on another. The Zefal seems a little more solid, though in reality the Topeak has been just as tough. The Topeak seems a little sleeker. Both much much better than Silca.

    I've had the hpx and it may be me but it doesn't hold a candle to a silca with a steel campy head, even given the quirks of the silca.

    Actually, the round Campy chromed plastic head works fine on the Silca. Just as good as the steel head.
    The original Silca plastic head was only a decoration.

    Blackburn FP-1 (when the body was aluminum) is the best I've used. Similar in function to the Zefal, but doesn't rust to hell, much better than a Silca with Campy head and won't explode after years of sun exposure. Rubber coated, well formed ends work well on pretty much any bike in pretty much any location as long as one uses the appropriate length.

    Does anyone know of a full size frame pump with a flexible hose at end to connect to tube valve? Thanks!
