Such thing as a BIFL floor pump? (lemmy.ca)

Hey guys,

So... I've been using a small electric pump for my bikes and e-scooters over the last few years.

They are nice, but really aren't designed to be used as often as I do.

I'm a fan of low-tech gear, so I'm looking for a good quality floor pump that will last the next 20+ years. Obviously, it needs to be serviceable and have easily replaceable parts. And it needs to be accurate, for sure. LOL

I'm reading reviews from Wirecutter and various cycling sites, and they are all over the place with recommendations. I think a lot of their choices are driven by affiliate links, so there's that.

Does this unicorn exist?

Maybe that's why it's the one that seems to fit my requirements the most... except that they told me that the Terra isn't designed to be serviceable, which I'm not thrilled to hear.

It does have a lifetime warranty, so you'd be covered either way, but still. That just bugs me.

I may still consider it, though. Considering the brand, and their history, my concerns about it failing and having to replace it aren't that bad.
