Date Reviewed: July 20, 2008 | | Duration Product Used: | 6 months | | Purchased At: | LBS | | Strengths: | Umm...cool looks. | | Weaknesses: | After less than a year of use the hose seperated from the chuck. There is no way to repair it. | | Similar Products Used: | Trusty 20 year old Silca. 10 year old Specialized. | | Bike Setup: | Both road and mtb | | Bottom Line: | I bought this pump after I had forgoten my regular "travel" pump for an afterwork ride. It worked great for about 7 months but then as I was pumping up the tires recently the hose blew out of the chuck. I put it back together but the hose will not stay in place due to the cheap plastic parts and poor tolerance. I have an older Specialized pump that has worked great for years but this one is just a poor design. Save your money and buy something else. I expect more from Specialized. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$43.00 | | Purchased At: | Local bike shop | | Strengths: | Pump seems to be well built - pressure gauge is easy to see. | | Weaknesses: | I'm new to presta valves and fought this thing for over an hour. No instructions at all - kept flatting the tire as I pumped up the hose out of the pump to over 150. Loosening up the nozzle did the trick. | | Similar Products Used: | A low-cost floor pump | | Bike Setup: | Stock 2007 Fisher Supercaliber | | Bottom Line: | A functional pump with absolutely no manufacturer's instructions - low overall rating for making me figure it out myself. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$39.00 | | Strengths: | Solidly built. Can be used with Presta or Shraeder valves. Pressure gague is easy to read. | | Weaknesses: | No instructions whatsoever. I'm sure I would have figured out how to adjust the amount of grip on the valve eventually but the shop pro showed me when I bought it. | | Bottom Line: | Pumps up your tires in a hurry. Pressure gague is easy to read seems to be accurate. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
