from England Date Reviewed: January 12, 2010 Strengths: Cheap, simple, lifetime guarantee, all spares available. Weaknesses: My bike is too small for a large, but just about small enough for a medium. Maybe make five sizes instead of four for better compatability (although I've never found a bike they wouldn't fit). A flexible hose would give it five chillis. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 2 Years

from jenner Date Reviewed: January 12, 2005 Strengths: Beautiful black and silver carbon fiber frame pump. In high pressure mode, be sure you take an air guage with you because you may inadvertently pur too much pressure in your tires! I easily got it up to 145 psi when the tires only needed 120. (You have to have it in the "lock" mode for high pressure, where the red rod doesn't go all the way into the barrel.) Weaknesses: None, except it might rattle a little on rough roads.

from scottsdale Date Reviewed: December 6, 2004 Strengths: matches road bikes carbon frame, seems to work well so far (only had it for a couple months). Frame pump means no pump on my back. Weaknesses: got the medium for a 57cm road bike and whie it fits under the top tube, I have to use the velcro to keep it in place - and forget about using your seattube water bottle - as it will hit the pump each time to try to insert or remove the bottle from the cage.

from Auburn Ca Date Reviewed: October 23, 2004 Strengths: Best frame pump out there. Well made, easy to use, can be rebuilt. Dependable. Lightweight. Weaknesses: You need a bike with a pump peg, or you can use a zip lock tie mounted on your head tube. Looks kinda funky, but you can buy a small model and use your non-driveside seat stay. Only weakness is you need muscle to get air into your tire. I will rattle if mounted on your tt, unless you cinch up with a velcro strap. You also have to pull it off each time you clean up your bike after a ride, but this takes seconds. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Price Paid: $30.00 Purchased At: Cambria Bicycle Emporium Similar Products Used: Avenir mini pump. Zefal HPX frame pump (years ago). Bike Setup: Colnago Master X-Light

from CO Date Reviewed: August 21, 2002 Strengths: Good solid pump. Long chamber makes inflation quick and effortless. Stays mounted well (provided your bike has a pump peg). Lifetime warranty Weaknesses: The thumblock can be hard to engage on the tube valve. The plastic/rubber pump peg insert in the pump handle just crumbled away for some reason (after about 2 years). I've been lucky in that I've rarely had to inflate a tire with it, and it has been taken care of, stored indoors when not in use, etc. so I was surprised when it fell apart. I sent an e-mail to Blackburn (now Bell Sports), who in turn sent me the wrong replacement handle. After I contacted them again, they sent the correct one, with apologies. Took about 2.5 weeks and no charge.
