$15.00 | | Purchased At: | Performance Bikes | | Strengths: | None | | Weaknesses: | Bulky, low quality, poor metering | | Similar Products Used: | Innovations Air Chuck (co2), Innovations Second Wind (co2/manual combo), Crank Bros Power Pump (mini manual) | | Bike Setup: | Marin Sausalito Hybrid 700x32 80 psi presta | | Bottom Line: | I really don't like this pump at all. It's low quality (plastic knob, the nozzle plug is a joke). When you unscrew the knob out to allow for maximum inflation the co2 starts leaking out. When you want to stop pumping you must screw it down to keep the co2 from leaking. It is awkward to create a positive seal with the Presta valve, often leaking air while engaging/disengaging it. It's large for a co2 pump. I thought this would be a "gourmet" co2 pump, but it's just unecessarily complex, large, low quality, and functionally inferior to cheaper pumps. If you want one, email me and I'll sell you my barely used one for cheap. I do highly recommend the Innovations Air Chuck co2 pump (half the size, cheaper, simpler, nicer quality and works far better). | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$15.00 | | Purchased At: | LBS | | Strengths: | It's small, it's cheap and it works. | | Weaknesses: | Non so far. Well the plastic holder is a bit flimsy. | | Similar Products Used: | The old SKS Co2-model (and that was sh..). | | Bike Setup: | Crossmax with Tubeless tires | | Bottom Line: | It really delivers the air blast that is necessary, to pump tubeless tires. A 2.1 inch tire can be reasonably inflated with one cartridge (but it's always a good idea to have a spare with you). It's dirtproof, meaning it still works after having it exposed to severe riding conditions for several month. The adjustable valve let's you really controll how much air you use for the moment.
Bottom line: For all those with tubeless tires a must. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |
