I bought this after switching to tubeless:

JOEBLOW® BOOSTER | Topeak

Half air compressor – Half pump. The JoeBlow® Booster pump just made it easier to install tubeless tires. This pump has an integrated aluminum air chamber that stores an air charge of one liter, up to 160psi / 11 bar, to quickly fill your tire and ensure the proper installation on a tubeless rim,...

There may be other solutions but this got me back on the trail quickly.

This is probably overkill for OP but it is excellent pump. I also have a Bontrager (Trek) that works great. Just their cheapest model.

Road and mountain bicyclists: What do you use to inflate your tires?

A normal pump. About 2-3 feet tall. Handle goes up and down. Easy to do. Do you

I always carry a CO2 cartridge and inflator in my saddle pack.

Sorry, thought you were talking about on-the-trail repairs.

60 PSI??? That is super high. Is your setup tubeless?

yeah

ThirdStringStreamer

Try this guide. Unless you are really heavy 60 is way way too much for an MTB

SO high. Use this as a guide

High as in higher than many MTB rims will be rated for, fwiw

Interesting. Shows my newb-ness. The tires themselves say 35-60 psi. But guide

ThirdStringStreamer

Yes, go with the guide. Depending on the MTB tire, I'm at 21-24psi, and that's

Sounds like a good pump for a road bike.

I bought this floor pump years ago.

I usually don't even go 60 PSI on my road bike (more like 50 for a nice ride). Gravel 30. MTB 20 and air down at top.

Giant Control Tower. It's a standard pump but works great for me. Road: 115 PSI

60 psi is way too high for mtb tires. I typically ride between 22 and 28

Was following what was printed on the side of the tire and figured more air

Change your pressures and your next ride will be the smoothest ride you've ever had.

I bought a little battery powered pump. It works on the car tires and bike tires and charges a cell phone.

Lezyne floor pump

Same. Mine has the digital gauge and is their "Dirt" model. Love it.

Basic floor pump like others have said - I don't recall the brand.

I missed this earlier, but 60 psi is insane. How many tires have you blown?

Superkid

A separate problem I have...many pumps with both types of valves seem to fall
