I got lambasted for 120psi in my tyres, 140 is quite a pressure!
When I first started cycling I did not imagine I'd need a pump, then got a minimorph but that was a lot of hard work.
Proper track pump is so much better.
I now always have the carhartt pump in my bag, it can achieve 110 psi (but i will probably have burst a few blood vessels in the process). Generally i just use that pump to get me as far as home, a friends place (with track pump) or owenreed's bike shop.

The point of spending £4k on a bike is so you don't carry extra weight with shit like mini-pumps.. that's what the team car is for.

Back OT - I carry a feckoff great big Zefal HPX aluminium pump strapped under my toptube. This is because I'm fed up with making my hands sore trying to get crappyarsed little minipumps to bring my tyres back up to pressure when the Pu***ure Faerie visits.
I don't carry it as some kind of "rescue a roadie" service for people who are too cool to stash a pump in their jersey pocket. You've just spent three grand on a feckin' Colnago? Very nice - now go and spend a tenner on a decent pump, you poseur knobend.

I don't charge if people want to borrow my pump. But air is £1 a go.

And for the coffee lovers.
Handpresso ~ bicycle pump + expresso packet + hot water = expresso on the go? The nice design coupled with the hilariously suggestive french couple in a movie theater ad makes it worth checking out.

or getting a taxi to pick you and the bike up, going straight into condor, leaning the bike up against the counter and saying "just do it, won't you" as you wave dismissively on your way out.

I did that once FFS and I was in a hurry; you just won't let it go will you?

arent cycle shops like some sort of pit-stop public service... like how you use Maccy Ds only for the toilet.. use Ev*ns only for air. sure it pisses off staff, but where would england be without em?
anyhow. I just bought a Joe Blow sport. £25. Fricking fantastic. tyres 'ard as nails. Plus i get to pump my football / basketballs up when they need firming up.

@ Charoltte. You cannot expect a Colnago rider to carry his own pump, as otherwise he would have to let his chauffeur go...

Iv managed to buy two shit pumps in one week and neither have managed more than about 40psi. Fantastic. Do your research. Lesson learnt!

oh yes, why wouldn't you elect this person to be the governor of your state? obvious choice!
i often got into shops just to use pump up my tyres even though i carry a pump.
i like to annoy bike shop staff - that's what they are there for
