For the 1st ten years that I rode real racing bikes with sew ups, I didn't
have a floor pump at all. I used the old fashioned flat top Silca with a Campy
steel head and always got over 100 psi with no problems. I was NEVER able to
get that kind of pressure with a Zefal. O course, the Zefal does have the
advantage of being aluminum, if you drop it, it can get a nice big ol' dent.
Of course, when I finally got a Silca floor pump, I wondered why I hadn't
gotten it ages ago...
