Is this a good bicycle tire pump for $30? We have "regular" bikes.

ok, maybe 8

Might give this one a look - https://www.amazon.com/INTEY-Aluminum-Co...B07F2Z2V7W

I've got the 450 model of this pump and it moves a lot of air but I broke one of the fill pieces in cold weather, so YMMV - https://www.amazon.com/Bell-Attack-High-...B07H5GZRM2

FWIW, Bell did ship out a replacement under warranty and it's still working fine.

The one you listed seems like a good pump.

I have this one and I CANNOT really endorse it. While it works, there is nothing special about it.

We have this Zefal Double Shot...

LOL, that's the pump I have!

Thanks for all the comments and insight.

Meh, I've never found one of the heads that does both schrader and presta on the same hole to work as well as the two port design. They also don't work with smaller wheels. Hopefully it works well for you.

Can you point me to other pumps with this style head? (one hole for both schrader and Presta) I've only seen the two-hole design. I'd like to read and compare the bad one-hole reviews to this one-hole head pump, which is getting great reviews.

I'm just going by what I've used. I tried out a half dozen or so of the one-hole pumps and they were all horrible. On smaller wheels, they simply won't fit.

Here's a couple

Aside from the hole fitting strangely and needing more force to connect, the fact the lock flips up gets in the way on smaller wheels - it will never lock on because it can't flip up high enough.

Ahhh. I see what you mean. Trekbikes video @ 1:22. Thanks. That's a pretty tall flip lever.
The pump needs to work with smaller kids bike tires. I guess I could use an extension hose like below? To really get into tight areas(?).

The original bicycle pump I linked to had a pretty fat/wide head. The lever lock is on the side. So it looks like that won't be a problem for small tires.

The Lezyne Classic Floor Drive Pump has a nice compact head. But it's double the cost at $60. https://www.outdoorgearlab.com/reviews/b...loor-drive

The Lezynes are expensive, but very high quality. The ones we have mounted on our bikes can inflate a road tire in a few minutes, and they weigh almost nothing.

We were on a 6 day ride, and both the support van's pumps broke. So, as the rest of the crew was digging for CO2 cartridges, I pulled off my Lezyne. The general consensus was that tiny pumps could not possibly inflate that tire.

The general consensus changed.
