Our experiance has been the same as others with regards to the chain
tool.  We use the park CT-3 and try to make sure that folks know
how to use it before doing so.  We used to use the cheaper ones,
but they broke way to often, and the CT-3 has held up well (we go
through about 4-6 pins a year).<br>
<br>
Concerning pumps, we&#39;ve started getting our pumps from REI.&nbsp; They
have a 100% satisfaction guarantee, so when a pump breaks, we take it
back and get a new one.&nbsp;&nbsp; Wasteful yes, but when we tried to
rebuild and repair pumps, they never lasted much longer.&nbsp; Maybe
someday someone will discover the holy grail of pumps, but until then,
we&#39;re going to continue to use REI...<br>
