Great frame pump [Posted on 2008-09-14]
I got one of these pumps for a cross-country bike trip I did. Having a gauge on a frame pump like this is great. Lasted the 4000 mile trip without anything breaking (until the piece that locks the pump on the tube fell off due to the loss of a small dowel like piece).
One problem I have with the pump is that the gauge tends to be slightly off. With mine, it says it's 10 psi higher than it actually is...double checked on a quality floor pump...but for fixing a flat on the road, it's really all you need. The other slight issue I have with this pump is that the handle is not very comfortable at all. I've had other pumps that are much easier on the hand than this one.
Ok for low pressure tires [Posted on 2008-09-28]
This pump will work just fine for bikes with low pressure tires, but it gets very difficult to use above 90 psi. I have high pressure tires that need to be inflated to 100 - 140 psi. I am not a small guy at all, but my hands and arms were killing me by the time I got the tire pressure to about 120 psi. It felt like I had done a weightlifting workout! I will keep the pump in case I get a flat on the road, but I am going to buy another pump for home use only. The other problem with this pump is that it doesn't easily mount anywhere on the frame of the bike. There is no mounting kit included with the pump, so you'll have to jury rig something or stick it in a pannier or backpack.
really the best [Posted on 2008-10-16]
1) very well designed overall
2) has a foot pad! it seems small and insignificant, but, it make a huge difference (much easier to get to proper pressure than a hand pump)
3) has a gauge. enough said.
i think this is a must-have for your bike.
Great but expensive [Posted on 2008-11-23]
This pump works really well and the gauge on it is accurate as well. Changing from different valves is really simple as well.
Excellent Pump! [Posted on 2008-12-03]
This pump is awesome because it truly offers floor pump ease of use, but frame pump portability. I have it strapped to my frame all the time, and the attachment is sturdy. Pumping is easy because the hose allows you to put the pump on the ground and push down; no broken valve stems or anything like you get with mini pumps. I can easily fill my mountain bike tires to 65psi, but I believe the reviews that say they achieve 100+psi. The gauge is nice, but probably not the most accurate as it seems to "click" every 5psi. I never used one before though, so accuracy isn't a big deal for me. The pump is small enough to put in my messenger bag too, so it doesn't have to be exclusively a frame pump. Buy it!
