from Oct 7th I think for 7.99 and 5.99. Also full finger gloves for what it's worth. The track pump looks like a bargain.

got one of the track pumps its ok but its a bit of a struggle to get much more than a 100psi tbh apart from that fine

last time they had gloves in they were terrible not even worth buying at that money (bought saxo bank and milram gloves from PBK recentley at less than 10 euro much better value

Appreciate the info. The track pump will be useful I reckon at 7.99. The rest...

The ones I bought have pressure guages that go to 160psi but the max recomended pressure for the pump is 100psi. I regualarly used one of mine to 110psi OK, but blew the valve seal at 140psi while attempting to inflate a tubular tyre.

This is something to watch out for on pumps.

Just because the gauge goes to 160psi doesn't mean the pump will

Like care and speedometers

Or bikes for that matter

I bought one of the EUR8 floor pumps last time. Utter crap. Wouldn't give me any pressure at all. I had to dismantle and re-glue the cylinder to the base before it would pump and even then it's not great. Might be enough to get you pumped enough to limp to the garage for a proper pump but I wouldn't rely on it at home.

I got a proper one for GBP20 from Border City Cycles...

I got my bike speedo up over 900km/h, seemed to work fine at that speed.
