or 80 pound pump
or 75
or expletive deleted...
with a locking valve connection from the looks of it
not having succumbed

any users to report on
if Bell's pump does reach 100 pounds air pressure

Dave says:

Well...

I bought one at Wal-Mart when I was traveling because it was easier than
shipping my pump to Texas. It worked "pretty well" the first time to 100
PSI. The hose and head worked fine, the piston rings held without leaks and
there was enough stroke to get to 100 PSI given the volume of air in the
hose and the cylinder head (note: it would not go to 101 PSI). Eye, there
was a rub though: the frame that holds the pump and the pedal in alignment
is NOT designed to withstand the force required to reach 100 PSI given the
large diameter piston they use. The thing started folding over easier and
easier with each successive use. After while I gave up and sent for my 20
year old Serfas pump from home. After 8 months in Plano I came home but the
""100 PSI" pump stayed behind.

I'm convinced that the entirety of Walmart's (Woolmort) bicycle section is
composed exclusively of plastic and stamped sheet metal from recycled 60's
Cadillacs.

Well, Bell (or whomever owns Bell now) also owns Blackburn.
