My 10-year old Mt. Zefal pump died recently and I'm having trouble 
finding another 1/2 decent one.

The first one was a piece of crap that fell apart in a few weeks.  So I 
bought an SKS pump from MEC a couple of weeks ago, as that model was 
recommended to me.

This one rips up the rubber on the valve stem & doesn't make a proper 
seal when the lever is set for a Schrader valve.  That makes it useless 
for topping up a low tire - all it seems to be good for is inflating a 
flat tube.

Any really great portable pumps out there?
