Strengths: This Pump looks the part and can be used to carbonate lemonadeWeaknesses: No Durability, clip is flimbsy, too heavy, poor design, lacks performance, too expensive, have doubts that it is made in germany, other than that it is a great paper weightBottom Line: Save your money and buy a different pump, this one is sad. Ride Safe and Smart

Strengths: The Airchamp pro is small light and easy to use. I particularly like the locking mechanism and the way that you can start and stop the air flow.Weaknesses: The frame clip allows the pump to move around slightly which can lead to rubbing on the frame if not checked.Bottom Line: I would recommend this poroduct to my friends. I have owned the Airchamp for approx 2 years and at a time when you get a flat it turns an annoyance into a fun activity. Can be expensive but if you run high quality tires then punctures are normally few and far between.
Duration Product Used: 2 Years
Similar Products Used: Have used an instaflate cartridge before and was dissapointed with the lack of a trigger.

Strengths: Have used a mates pump and its quick and gets about 100 psi in a road tyre.
Cost to run is not too bad if you only have the occasional flat.Weaknesses: I didn't check mine before putting it on my bike and lost the screw cap. Didn't notice until I got a flat and couldn't use it.
Also, the one I borrowed previously froze the valve open but you just need to give it a tap.
Bottom Line: Its ok but make sure its screwed together tight. I'll probably buy something similar again.

Strengths: Light wieghtWeaknesses: Broke 1st day. The pin that pierces the CO2 cartridge snapped right off rendering the unit totally useless.Bottom Line: Would not recommend. Poor quality of materials. No durability. Which really suprised me because this item is made in Germany. I have an SKS fork pump which is of the hightest quality and I would recommend. So I can not knock SKS as a brand as a whole. Just that this CO2 pump is a lemon.

Strengths: -Easy to use
-Small
-Light
-Comes with a clip to put on a bottle mount. Or you can carry it in a pocket/ hydration pack.
-Can be used on all valves.Weaknesses: -Durability may be an issue in a few years. So far so good.
-Doesn't have a compartment to store a second cartridge as
claimed.
-Cartridges are both expensive (around $4 AU each) and hard to get hold of enough for a few months racing.
Bottom Line: Like I say, so far it is excellent. 1 16 gram cartridge will fill one tube/tyre to as much pressure as I need. The 16 gram cartridges are hard to get here in Aus that I have found. It fills a tube within 5-10 seconds, alot faster than using a handpump.
I wouln't use this on social/recreational rides. The running costs are too high to use.
If you can, try one before you buy it.
