Strengths:
Nice compact size and lightweight
Weaknesses:
The Presta Valve adapter could be less frustrating. Gets in the way of crank arms, while mounted to typical bottle cage mount.
Bike Setup:
Novara Bonanza
Bottom Line:
A Ok product, that in my opinion counting the frustration factor for Presta valves while on the road should be priced a little less.
Gets in the way mounted to the typical bottle cage mount of the crank arms.

I have never been more dissapointed with any cycling product before. This thing was never able to pump a road tire beyond 45psi when you could get it to seat on the presta valve. The head does not work at all. Theres nothing broken, its not worn out and it NEVER worked from the first time I tried it. This is a poorly designed pump and this company should stick to grips which are more difficult to screw up.

Bottom Line:
This was a purchase I regretted from the first time I tried to use the pump. I got burned by this purchase. Since this was the only brand in the shop I bought it at I just threw it away.

Similar Products Used:
Some crappy one that wouldn't stay in its mounting bracket so I threw it in the woods along a trail years ago
Bike Setup:
2001 GT Aggressor 2.0 - few upgraded components
Bottom Line:
If it weren't for the terrible mounting bracket design, it'd be a real winner. The pump itself is great, but the fact that it has to be mounted where your bottle cages mount (meaning 1: it gets in the way of pedaling, and 2: either lose one bottle cage to make room for the pump or in my case lose both cages because of the mounting position and size of the pump gets in the way of either bottle cage location).
Had it have been a top-tube frame mount, it would be perfect, and I thought that's what it was which is why I bought it.
But basically since I can't mount it on my bike's top tube of the frame, I just stash the pump in my Flowpak hydration back (same as a Camelback). It's still nice to have a pump handy when you need one, but having it mounted to the frame would have been much nicer.
Great value price-wise, but the rating is low due to a poorly thought-out location for the mounting bracket.

Strengths:
Cheap
Weaknesses:
1) mount doesn't work right, because it sticks the pump right in the way of pedaling motion. 2) Doesn't "auto" inflate presta
Bike Setup:
DBR X9 XT Manitou WTB
Bottom Line:
Do not buy this pump. It's cheap, and that's it. Unless you just pump Schrader valves, than maybe get it (I don't even know if it will work on those!)
