Anybody recommend a hand pump to inflate my tubes which goes up to say 35~40 PSI ? , mine I discovered only went up to about 27~29 PSI.


Any thoughts?

Thanks

A small foot pump's probably easier unless you mean a hand pump like this:

don't get those double barrelled foot pump type ones.

the hose can't cope with the pressure of 42 psi and comes off the foot pump. As it's still attached to the tyre, it deflates it.

Bicycle track pump like the Big man says. I use mine on my road bike which takes 90psi. I would advise using a decent tyre pressure indicator rather than relying on the one on the pump.

Have you looked at small 12V ones?
The cheapest ones are cacky but might still do for occasional use.
