A floor pump (AKA track pump) is a must-have accessory for any committed cyclist; while they can be bought cheaply, higher-priced options are expected to offer more efficient pumping and last longer. The Airace Veloce AE isn’t overly expensive, but it does offer high-end features and solid construction.
With a maximum pressure of a massive 240psi, the gauge increments don’t allow for accurate pressure setting. This isn’t an issue when pumping your road tyres to 110psi, but creates an impossible task when trying to find the balance between 23 and 25psi on your mountain bike. With the large gauge at the base of the 68cm length pump, it can be hard to read depending on the light.
