from Mill Valley Date Reviewed: February 1, 2005 Strengths: This is the most reliable pump I've ever had. I just threw away a Topeak Master Blaster (frame fit) last nite after completely freezing up, again, when I stopped to help someone. I'll look this up to see if this was my fault for riding in the rain and fog but I would think a frame-fitting pump should be built to withstand being outside all of the time. Had it about 1.5 yrs.

from Australia Date Reviewed: February 1, 2004 Strengths: I've previously put in a review about this pump where I stated that it had been reliable for the past 10 years and that I couldn't understand the problems that some people were having with the chuck leaking and blowing off. Today I put new continental tubes and tires on my road bike and sure enough the chuck leaked and had to be held on with one hand. On my stems of my Vittoria tubes I had to prise the chuck off the inflated tire with two thumbs, so there is a big difference. The conclusion I have drawn from this is that the culprit is the presta valve stems, if they are short and have threads all the way down the pump may leak, if the stems are unthreaded and longer the pump works great.
