Duration Product Used:

Price Paid:

Purchased At:
Biketopia in Halls,
Strengths:
It works. I havent had any of the seal problems. I have used this for 3 months but worked a bike repair stand at a road race and pumped up over 60 tires in one day
Weaknesses:
None
Similar Products Used:

Bike Setup:
Intense Tracer and Specialized Allez
Bottom Line:
This pump works. Maybe the others have no idea how to use a pump. The pump comes with a card that offers a money back guarantee if you are not happy for any reason within the first 90 days.
I have used on Presta and Schrader and it works great for both. My mtn tires run with 35lbs and the road tires have 115lbs in them. It never takes more than 15 times to completely fill the road tires. This pump does what it is supposed to do.

Strengths:
If you can get the stem to seal it pump up your tire.
Weaknesses:
I found if very difficult to form a seal on the presta valve, especially if the stem is short. In fact, I often had to give up and use my mini hand pump. I would not recommend this pump to anyone.

Duration Product Used:
6 months
Price Paid:
$30.00
Purchased At:
Orange Cycle
Strengths:
A good, solid, reliable pump. I use it three times a week to inflate road bike tires to 130psi.
Weaknesses:
None. Getting a good seal is a matter of pressing it onto the valve really hard before flipping the lever to seal it. If I had a choice, it would be nicer to have the guage at the top rather than at the bottom.
Similar Products Used:
None.
Bike Setup:
Trek 5000 road bike with 700x25 tires.
Bottom Line:
I have not tried any other brands, so I have nothing to compare it to. However, I would have no problem recommending this to friends because it has worked so reliably for the past 6 months. The tires need air, the pump delivers. What more could I ask for?

Strengths:
Fairly sturdy build. Pumps relatively easily to high pressures.
Weaknesses:
Pressure limit pointer is a bit too loose, and is easy to accidentally move. Occassionally difficult to get good seal on valves.

Bottom Line:
Overall a reasonable pump. But because of occassional problem of getting good seal on valves, I don't often use this pump.
