The Bontrager bike computer and helmet I bought in the last few years are a step up in user-friendliness and value compared to other brands I've had over the last two+ decades of cycling.
I actually have several bikes, all with different requirements. I even have skinny rims with sewups on one bike those take about 120 PSI. I have a beach cruiser that takes about 35 PSI in real fat tires with schrader valves... and my current most often used bike is a full suspension trails bike with fat tires that take about 60 PSI and use a presta valve.
So, wide variety of needs there.
The old T handle pump worked quite well for something like 20 years or so... but I left it out in a lot of rain and it just isn't working right these days. I had pumped up my tires and just leaned the pump against the house and forgot it. Later, needing to top off the tires, I remembered where I left it, grabbed it and started to pump it and it squirted water... Uh Oh. I hung it upside down for a few days to drain... but now, months later, it just isn't quite working.
I may see if I can open it and repair it. I know I can put a new hose and head on it... that part IS threaded.
