Lezyne Steel Floor Drive- A new love enters my life

A month ago I was in mourning for my poor Joe Blow. It had lost the will and finally run out of puff.

Since then after much deliberation I have found a new love to enter my life
Lezyne Steel Floor Drive Track Pump- my new baby!
The Lezyne Steel Floor Drive Track Pump is a marvel of engineering and simplicity and has a retro edge to it's styling with an awesome wooden handle.

The simplicity is confirmed with a fantastic screw on valve system which means you'll always have a secure connection between valve and inner tube for effective tire inflation. The valve also features a simple push down valve that reasons a few psi of pressure from the tyre each time to allow more accurate tyre pressures.

The death of Joe Blow


Farewell my old and faithful friend for you have served me well through the last ten years

The death of my Joe Blow Sport Track Pump has hit me badly
You've serviced Peugeot, Ambrosio, Ribble, Langdale, Giant, Planet X and Kinesis bikes in that time and oulived them all. I've relied upon you time and time again. You've hit that magic 120 psi with little excess effort and I've taken you for granted as a result. You've done more than I could give you credit for in any review

Your lungs have now failed and it's time for you to go up to that bicycle shop in the sky

Rest in peace my trusty Joe Blow Sport Track Pump.

If this was a review I'd give you a 10 out of 10 for longevity. 10 years is a long time.
