from Arlington, VA, USA Date Reviewed: July 12, 2009 Strengths: It looks sort of cool. Weaknesses: It doesn't work. I bought a new hybrid bike about 3 weeks ago and the shop clerk suggested I have an air pump as well attached to my bike. I've been on my bike about 4 times in the past 3 weeks (busy schedule, other events interupted any biking plans). I figure today is Sunday, I'd go for another ride but I need to check my air pressure since I haven't ridden my bike for about 6 days. Front tire feels a bit low from just sitting around, so I go to use the MINI and it doesn't even clamp down. Says it fits both Presta and Schrader style valves. The brass cap on the Presta style valve I have is unscrewed and opened. The red plastic thing inside the MINI pump hole is all smashed and won't push in for the valve to go in and clamp on. My very first time using the pump when I actually need it and it didn't work at all. Now my tire's PSI is nearly flat from trying to get the damn MINI to clamp onto the valve. FAILURE PUMP.

from Qatar Date Reviewed: May 23, 2009 Strengths: Mounts neatly next to waterbottle. Looks nice on my bikes. You can throw it a long way. (Retrieve the patches from the end cap first! You might actually get some use out of them.) Weaknesses: Doesn't work. Apparently any contact with dust will cause the seals to fail and you will be pumping your arm but not your tyres.

from Izegem, Belgium Date Reviewed: July 29, 2008 Strengths: i cannot think of one advantage. I bought this on a council of the sellor of which i just bought a mountainbike for the first time Weaknesses: no strength, there is no air coming out in any position. it is certainly not worth that money even not 1 USD. give me a simple footpump. i never buy a product again of this producer. i just used it three times and it is allready stuck. Even first two times were not satisfying. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $40.00 Purchased At: Izegem, fietsen Lesy

from maine Date Reviewed: June 4, 2006 Strengths: Simple to use. Puts air in when I need it (presta valve); Handle folds to ease the pressure on your hands. Cheap $. Weaknesses: Mount is meant to be attached along side a water bottle. Which is fine unless you only carry a camelback. Then it just seems to bang into your leg with every stroke. Would have preffered a regualr mount. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $10.00 Bike Setup: GF Cobia

from Astoria, Queens, NYC Date Reviewed: May 30, 2005 Strengths: This is my second Toppeak Mini Master Blaster. The first one was great. The second takes more tuning than my bike to get minimal performance. Weaknesses: When I pump the tire up above 25psi it starts letting out short bursts of air pressure--so I can't inflate the tire as I want. Locking the pump to the valve is the surest bet on a futile pumping effort and it's hard to imagine why. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Since moving back from Japan I have yet to find even a decent trail here. Flippin the bird to DOT Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Purchased At: Seo Cycle Pro Shop at Tokyo Bay LalaPort, Minami-Funabashi, Chiba, Japan Similar Products Used: Mini Master Blaster, both the great original and this piece of crap. The first one was the AK-47 of pumps--indestructible, required no maintainence to perform. This one requires worshipping and even then doesn't get the job done. And ages ago I used a frame pump the length of the top tube which worked just fine. Bike Setup: 2002 Trek 8000 with ZR9000 frame--tricked out.

from Denmark Date Reviewed: January 22, 2005 Strengths: dual-pumping: Pumps when you pull and when you push could be a nice feature. Weight. Good Frame-mount. Reasonable price. (I just don't remember it) Weaknesses: The Seals ! When pumping to fast it blows (because of heat perhaps?), and you have to take it apart and put it together again to make it work for a couple of seconds again. The dual-pumping isn't that great either: It takes far too long to pump (10 minutes?) and it's really hard work, so nothing for the roadbike and neither for the mountainbike!
