Default Good Quality Pump

I'm looking for a good quality foot pump for setting my tyre pressures from cold before i ride off.

Anyone recommend a specific pump or am i just aswell getting a decent quality foot pump?

Any comments on this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/MotoGP-MOTORCY...3A1|240%3A1318 ?

If you're that worried about tyre pressures, then your best bet would to buy just any old cheap footpump and a good digital pressure gauge.

I personally use one of these and will often end up slightly over inflating my tyres and then letting air out as I need. No built in pump on anything this side of £30 or £40 will be very accurate, anyway.

The linked item is a track pump that you pump by hand. I use one for my bikes and it is fine, two pumps is approx 1 psi on my bike / pump combo. I check pressures cold in the garage before going out. I use a Halfords digital pressure guage to check / set pressure though.

I use this,

works very well and the guage is extremely accurate. I've checked it a few times with a good digital guage
