Customer Reviews
Please note the "Presta" Valve!
Nothing major to add to the other reviews in terms of quality check. It is a tiny product - shorter than most remote controls - and it works well.
However, as a newbie to biking, I was not aware of the difference between a "Presta" and "Schraeder" valve. Old time valves and those on most mountain and hybrid bikes are the SCHREADER type. This one is Presta which is more common on road bikes. If you are not sure which type you have DO NOT BUY this. I had to send mine back for this reason.
ultra light
This is an incredible little pump.
I have managed to crank out 100psi without gut-busting effort.
the handle should be pushed from the bottom, otherwise you risk seperating the housing from around the base, which does not affect performance and is easily glued back in place.
other than that one weak spot, no complaints.
Check your tire valves first!
I bought this because it had amazing reviews, and they're all true about how small and light it is. Unfortunately, as a novice with the bike stuff, I didn't realize that my bike doesn't have the kind of "presta valve" that this pump matches with, and so I couldn't use it. (I have a mountain bike with a short, wider valve and this doesn't fit over it.) So, make sure you know you have the right kind of valve on your tires before you buy it and I'm sure it will work great as everyone else said.
