Bottom Line:
Great pump when it comes to pumping up the road tire. Able to get all the pressure you need, will fill to 110lbs, with some effort but no frustration. Gives you the assurance that you can continue your ride without worries.
The rubber plug that seals the filler when not in use is very tight. In fact if you put it in with the pump open, you cannot close the pump. This is good.
It is presta only. It is big and black. It works well.
If you live where thorns and debris give flats like I do, then a pump like this that isn't as small or beautiful but will fill to pressure is a good choice.
