If a bike shop mechanic was looking for the perfect bike pump to use at home, he would choose the Blackburn Core Pro Floor Pump. The alloy construction is built to withstand constant use, and Blackburn expanded the pump shaft to increase the inflation speed. If you travel with your bike, the extended hose is capable of reaching your valves while your bike sits on the back of your car, and Blackburn's AirTap head fits Presta, Schrader, and even Dunlop valves so you can always be the hero if someone breaks out a pump with the wrong head. Perhaps our team's favorite feature was the tripod base that kept everything stable, even as we pumped up the jam on rutted terrain.
