from Hamburg, Germany Date Reviewed: February 7, 2011 Strengths: The pump is small, but big enough to feel good in your hand. The connection to the bikes Valve is good ans sits tight. Turning the pumps valve allows a connection to different bike valves. Weaknesses: Dust protection cap comes off to easy. You have to pump fast and hard to get enough pressure on a MTB tire. To archive more than 2 bars was unpossible fo me. But the worst thing is, what happend to me last week: The shaft cracked off the piston when I tried to pump. I jabed the sharp edged shaft deep in to my hand, the one that was holding the pump. After a few hours in hospital a wound full of grease and seven stitches later I would highly not recomend this pump. A pump made for MTB should be strong enough to pump 2,5 - 4 bars. (My tiny race bike pump can do 6-7).

from Oak Creek, WI. U.S.A. Date Reviewed: September 25, 2004 Strengths: Pumps a lot of air for its compact size. I have ridden my bike hard with the "mini double shot" pump in several cross country citizen races and all over the Rockies. In the past 8 years of owning the pump, it has never come out of the clips while riding. Weaknesses: I replaced my water bottle cage and one of the clips broke at the attach hole. But I can't complain, it took many years of abuse. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Price Paid: $25.00 Purchased At: Rim Cyclery , Moab Ut.

from New York City Date Reviewed: August 26, 2003 Strengths: Light-weight, small, stays put on it's clip-holder and the velcro strap Weaknesses: I don't know if it's a weakness, but you can definitely develop a nice bicep work-out using it as you increasingly pump with it. I'm also not sure if the gauge on it works all the time. Does it ever?

I don't know the brand of the new one off the top of my head, but it's a pain. It's supposed to fit Presta and Standard, but it doesn't always work. I want my Zefal back!!!

from albany, ca, usa Date Reviewed: January 8, 2003 Strengths: Light. Lasted 5 years (kind of). Presta and standard. Weaknesses: gets inoperable after a while - but it's now fixed. Feels flimsy. Build up your biceps... because it gets really heavy after 30psi's or so. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Price Paid: $20.00 Purchased At: missing link Similar Products Used: metal foot pump with gauge 17 yrs ago. Had to duct tape the airline just so I can get 20psi through that leaky thing. Bike Setup: 03 Gary Fisher Tassajara. Shimano 515 clipless. hmm... had it for 2 days now so maybe more modifications to come (maybe a spoiler and some bigger chromier rims). :)
