Want to ask for more ?!!! | | Weaknesses: | The weight (2.5kg) !!! Well only if you want to carry it with you during a ride.... :o)
Otherwise, take the Multi-Valve head instead of the standard. More convenient and versatile ! | | Bottom Line: | This pump is a must-have ! | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$45.00 | | Purchased At: | Excel Sports | | Strengths: | Quality construction. Those crafty Germans also thought of folding legs that allow you to hang the pump upside down. Of course the pump handle has a locking position so the handle will not extend downward if you hang it upsidedown. Two option are available to store the pump head one upright and another between legs for the hose if upsidedown. Very efficient air delivery. The air chuck fits both P & S valves, but see below. | | Weaknesses: | I used the pump only a few times on a Schrader valve stem for my daughters road bike. The valve threads chewed up the soft rubber grommet to the point where I can no longer use it on my Presta valves. Buy extra grommets if you are switching between valves, or keep this pump for your high end equipment. | | Similar Products Used: | Zefal frame fit pump, flawless, 20 years old.
Blackburn Shorty,the only mini that I found capable of pumping any air at all.
| | Bike Setup: | Cannondale tandem, mostly 105 components, converting to lighter wheels so my 10 year old daughter and I can further embarass studs on $4,000 rigs as we blow by at 30 mph.. | | Bottom Line: | Great piece of equipment , even better if you are a gear head and really appreciate fine design and function. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$30.00 | | Purchased At: | Heino Cykler, Copenhagen | | Strengths: | Heavy duty construction, all parts replaceable at reasonable prices, high stroke volume, air pressure gauge. | | Bike Setup: | Various Road, MTB and commuter bikes | | Bottom Line: | The good ol' Rennkompressor is all German quality and solid as a Tiger Tank. The all steel housing will last forever and the pump is solid enough to double as a security device against tresspassers. The gauge is easy to read and the solid rubber tube delivers 10 bars to your tires without any problems.
This pump is one of these rare items that you can disassemble and repair all by yourself, in casea rubber seal wears down or a screw breaks - I love it. This pump will undoubtably outlast all my bikes.
If you use a pump at home just every now and then - get a floor pump. This SKS-pump will probably last 10 years and at 30-40$ that's 4 bucks a year for inflating tires without a hazzle! | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$60.00 | | Purchased At: | Cycle Surgery, London, UK | | Strengths: | Very heavy duty construction, all parts are servicable or replacable as spare. Excellent adaptor head. Very fast. Quick enough for UST too. | | Weaknesses: | Reading in bar only (this is popular in continental Europe, but being Brits, we like to be be different and use PSI. However, just remember the 1 bar = 15psi approx | | Similar Products Used: | None | | Bike Setup: | n/a | | Bottom Line: | Highly recommended. Unless you drive your pick-up over it, you'll be passing it on to your grandchildren when you've gone to the great North Shore in the sky! | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

THE fastest way to get air in your tires. Inbuilt manometer means that the pressure is always right. Very sturdy construction. | | Weaknesses: |
The inbuilt manometer is only calibrated in bar. (a popular unit in Europe). It's huge and heavy. | | Similar Products Used: |
Diverse Zefal hand pumps | | Bottom Line: | This is the pump you should have in your home work-shop. | | Overall Rating: |
