Strengths: light weight, quite sturdyWeaknesses: 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.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.

Strengths: pressure gaugeWeaknesses: over under dual value system sucksBottom 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.

Strengths: Light. Pumps up quickly. Nice Dial. CheapWeaknesses: No complaints.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.

from Los Angeles, CADate Reviewed: January 7, 2003
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.Bottom Line: Pay a few extra bucks and get something more durable.

Strengths: Lightweight, cheap, nice guageWeaknesses: Plastic (but who cares - it works)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.

Strengths: Works like a champ! And inexpensive to boot!Weaknesses: If you buy the Nashbar version via mailorder you'll save 10 dollarsBottom Line: Can't beat it. I notice that Nashbar sells the exact same pump in their catablog with the Nashbar logo for 20 bucks.

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.Bottom Line: If you want cool colors and big logos go somewhere else.
