Submitted by nono a Weekend Warrior from durham, nc, usa
Date Reviewed: July 24, 2008
Duration Product Used:2 Years
Price Paid: $30.00
Strengths:light weight, quite sturdy
Weaknesses:same as above. The air is going through the wrong hole... and I can't figure out how to repair this. The problem is pretty opaque.
Similar Products Used:bike pumps with metal frames
Bike Setup:cannondale road bike
Bottom Line:The next bike pump I'll buy will be a different model because of the issue with the air coming out of the wrong hole with the Serfa airbones.

Date Reviewed: April 28, 2006
Duration Product Used:1 Year
Price Paid: $25.00
Purchased At:LBS
Strengths:pressure gauge
Weaknesses:over under dual value system sucks
Similar Products Used:many other pumps (other peoples pumps at the trailhead or friends pumps, or whatever)
Bottom Line:the over under dual valve system doesn't work very well. most of the time the air comes out the wrong hole (as in the hole the valve stem is not in). when it does work, it works. but then I've never used a pump that didn't work, so basically this pump is a total waste of money considering there are so many pumps out ther that do work perfectly.

Date Reviewed: February 1, 2005
Duration Product Used:1 Year
Price Paid: $20.00
Purchased At:Spearmans
Strengths:Light. Pumps up quickly. Nice Dial. Cheap
Weaknesses:No complaints.
Similar Products Used:Mongoose Pump
Bike Setup:GT Tequesta MTB, Fuji Finest Roadie
Bottom Line:Pumping up tyres with either type of valve is a breeze with this pump. Light weight and quite durable. The dial appeals to me. It's good bang for your buck. Don't worry about it being plastic it handles rough treatment well.

Submitted by Mike a from Los Angeles, CA
Date Reviewed: January 7, 2003
Duration Product Used:6 months
Price Paid: $30.00
Purchased At:Universal Cycles
Strengths:It's inexpensive and feels pretty solid.
Weaknesses:However, the presta chuck started leaking air after about 3 months. To get it to work, I have to hold it onto the valve. I supposed I could get a replacement part, but it shouldn't take a crap after just 3 months. The guage is a bit difficult to read with small numbers and the adjustable pressure indicator gets knocked off target quite easily. I've got a Silca Super Pista on the way via UPS as I type this.
Similar Products Used:Silca, Blackburn.
Bike Setup:Strong Foco.
Bottom Line:Pay a few extra bucks and get something more durable.

Submitted by Jeff a Weekend Warrior from Seattle, WA, USA
Date Reviewed: June 19, 2001
Favorite Trail:anything in Western Washington
Duration Product Used:Less than 1 month
Price Paid: $20.00
Purchased At:Gregg's Cycles
Strengths:Lightweight, cheap, nice guage
Weaknesses:Plastic (but who cares - it works)
Bike Setup:Giant Rincon with the stock mud tires and Michelin Wildgripper City tires
Bottom Line:This pump gets the tire aired up in a big hurry. I think the fact that it is plastic is an asset (makes it light). The gauge is a big benefit. Plus, at $20, you can't afford not to buy this pump! I'd give it a 6 chili value rating if they had it.

Date Reviewed: March 27, 2001
Duration Product Used:3 months
Price Paid: $30.00
Purchased At:AJ Barnes Bike Emporium
Strengths:Works like a champ! And inexpensive to boot!
Weaknesses:If you buy the Nashbar version via mailorder you'll save 10 dollars
Bike Setup:GIANT Rincon SE w/ROCKSHOX JUDY XC fork and Panaracer Fire XC tires
Bottom Line:Can't beat it. I notice that Nashbar sells the exact same pump in their catablog with the Nashbar logo for 20 bucks.

Favorite Trail:Owls Roost!
Duration Product Used:Less than 1 month
Price Paid: $24.00
Purchased At:Cycles de Oro (the best!)
Strengths:Pump my road bike tires up with ease to 120 psi! Definitely not whimpy, but plastic cheapens it's feel. (but then you poay for other materials). Can't beat the price! Dual valve head. Solid footing. Accurate guage. Easy to lube.
Weaknesses:Could use bigger numbers on guage.
Similar Products Used:Zefal full-size and mini frame pumps (both junk)
Bike Setup:Gary Fisher Paragon (frame only thing still stock), S-Works Road.
Bottom Line:If you want cool colors and big logos go somewhere else.
