Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-07-20 Summary: Good pump, good price ... So far so good. Very pleased with the pump. Have not experienced any of the problems noted in other reviews. Will know about presta valves later when I dig my bike out of storage & will update if necessary. This is a good middle tier pump that will definately please those used to lower end, cheap pumps. My guess is those used to spending much more for higher tier pumps may be dissappointed as it has a different look and feel but its proven itself to be mechanically sound so far so I would recommend it! ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-07-15 Summary: Good Pump at a Good Price ... I've been very happy with this pump. The head has a separate opening for presta and schrader valves which seems to work easier and better than the combination type. The only improvement I can suggest is a little longer rigid collar where the hose attaches to the head so leverage could better be applied when clamping or releasing from the valve. The gauge is large and easy to read. Very light weight but seems to be holding up well. ...more
