just in case the link doesn't work, it is the Fezzari® Aireport Floor
Pump, approx $60 with shipping. You can find it by typing aireport in
the costco.com search box....

I have never heard of this brand, but $60 is a lot of money for pump.
Does it have some special features that you really need? You can get
generic Asian pumps for $20 that work pretty well.

So, since it seems like a bit of a crapshoot to me, I was thinking of
buying this pump from costco (gotta love the lifetime return policy)

can anyone recommend for it or against it, or maybe another pump in the
same general price range?

Dear FA,

Few mountain bikes need 260 psi for $60.

You can get a nice floor pump with Schrader and Presta holes here for
$25 plus shipping:

If you're worried about a replacement policy, you could buy a spare
for the same $60.

Mine works fine to 125 psi on road tires. The yellow color undoubtedly
enhances the pumping action and certainly makes it easier to find in a
dimly lit garage.

Cheers,

Carl Fogel

no special features or anything, I figure if I buy it and it stops
working, I can return it for a full refund...

Also, trying to compare mtbr reviews and the various etailer stock has
given me a bit of a headache :-)

as far as generic asian pumps, do you mean what a target or walmart
would carry?

thanks

I'll keep this one in mind, I think performance's return policy is
pretty good too :-)

I was thinking of the products sold by Performance or Nashbar, though
those may or not be the same as what is sold by Target or Walmart.

I've got the same pump I bought with my first "real road bike" in the
mid-80's and it still works great. I did replace the head with a
(highly recommened) Topeak "smart head", and every so often will pull
the pump apart to stretch or lube the leather washer, but I can't
imagine how I'd ever actually wear the thing out.

I probably paid ~$20 for it 20+ years ago, FWIW.

imho,

First, link wrapped and became unclickable. Try this:

Second, the price is alittle high, considering I picked up a blackburn
floor pump for about $30. Now it doesn't go 200+ psig, but then I
don't need that much, and it came with a lifetime warranity.

Might want to shop around a little more.
