Bike Tire Pump with Gauge

I wanted a pump to fit easily in a bag rather than leave it on the bike. I found two similar products, one of which was a 'mini' pump and this one which was not so described. It is well made and a very effective design. It is tiny compared with traditional pumps and is much sturdier. The gauge is rather like a mechanical car tyre pressure gauge, but is in-line with the flexible hose. I found that my rear tyre pressure was lower than advisable and needed to change from 70 to 80 PSI. Five or six pumps were all that was necessary. I think I might use this on my old racing bike. Two minor points, the wheel may need to be rotated to see the pressure markings (Bar or PSI) on Schrader valves. Once the connector is tight, the gauge marking to connector relationship is fixed. The other is that the plastic bike mounting clamp provided is only suited to certain frame designs. The latter was, of course, of no interest to me.

Great little pump. Easy to use and small and lightweight so fits on the bike using only an Allen key. Quick to inflate and the flexible hose means no air is lost if the pump wobbles a bit when being used. The small pressure gauge gives you a good idea of the tyre pressure so you know when you've inflated it enough to cycle home. I haven't managed to fully inflate the tyre to the correct pressure using this pump as it's a bit hard going towards the end but it's efficient enough to get you back on the road in a matter of minutes. The Velcro strap gives you piece of mind that you won't lose the pump if going over bumpy ground and means you can tighten it in the bracket so it doesn't rattle either. Best of all it looks good and is sturdy - well engineered and great piece of kit for the bike.

*************************** Review updated. A replacement pump arrived promptly after the fault mentioned below. The mounting bracket was in good order and has been fine over the past 4 weeks or so since I wrote my review below. The pump is very high quality and the guage seems to work well. I've increased my 3* review to 4* (1* deducted due to having to return the product). I've had no problems connecting the hose to both presta and schraeder valves or with achieving the desired pressure. *************************** Like another reviewer on here, I also have problems with the pump holder. I received the pump today well packaged and with prompt service. I unpacked it and felt it was of high quality and my initial impressions were good. After a quick check over to work out how the valve attaches etc, I then placed the pump back into it's plastic holder and a piece of the pump holder snapped off. I went to show my wife what had happened and pulled the pump back out of the holder and another part broke off. I hadn't yet attached the holder to my bike as this happened whilst sat at my kithcen table. I don't know if the material is poor design, has weakened due to freezing temperatures we're currently experiencing, or has been knocked in storage, but it feels quite brittle. I've reordered and returned for a refund as I've been looking for a high quality pump with gauge and flexible adaptor for a long time, so I really hope the replacement is better and will last when attached to my bike. Perhaps this is just a defect from storage, not poor design/temperature related. I'm pretty certain it's not a delivery problem as the packaging is in perfect condition, so I'm concerned about the longevity of the holder. Once I've received a replacement I'll update this review.

I have purchased a mini pump and C02 adapters from this company in the past and they were excellent quality. I bought this to use with my new e-go electric bike. This pump is also excellent quality and looks as though it should cost 4 times as much. Clever design means you can pump Prestair and Schrader tyres without the need to change adapters. It also has a pressure gauge. Really very well made and not a piece of plastic on it. Very happy to recommend this company and their products.

The pro bike tool is just that a professional bike tool . It's compact and lightweight weighing only 147g . Fast and easy tire inflation so your not pumping forever with some of the smaller pumps you can get. It's high pressured going up to 120psi / 8.3 bar . The hose is flexible so less chance of breaking a valve. It's got it's own integrated pressure gauge for perfect inflation. It's comparable with both presta and Shrader valves . It includes it's own mounting bracket and it's got a sturdy strap so you don't have to listen to it rattling around as you rude along . So all you need to do is remove your dust covers from the top and bottom of the pump . These are another good thing as when your going through water or getting rained on the are protecting the insides from the damage water can do. Then you just unscrew the hose from the pump handle attach the side you want depending on your tire valve , attach to your open valve and hey presto start pumping it's surprisingly long for this cute little pump . In fact it's so quick I've pumped up both bikes in no time at all.

Great pump for any MTB, compared with my old dual action pump, this new single action pump is quicker and easier to use compared to a dual action pump. The clip that goes on your frame is ok but a bit fiddly to use than my cheaper pump came with but it holds the pump more secure. You may find the hose can be an issue with a presta valve if you have slightly damaged the valve were it is bent due to using a poor pump, I found using this pump I’ve not bent any more presta valves. If you are using it on a presta with a removable core best to make sure it’s tightly secure. I lost one of the dust caps on mine out on a ride, contacted them to see if they sell spare parts and they sent me free of charge a spare one, how cool is that. All round a great looking pump and the hose will prevent damage to any presta valve users out there and I find single stroke pump easer to use than a dual action one as it’s easy to push pressure into a tire but hard to pull pressure into a tire.

A well built, smooth operating and compact little pump. It's great too use, however was quite a mission filling up a new tube from empty. I've never used a pump like this before, usually only have my tower pump. It takes some considerable pumping to get a tyre to ny mountain bikes usual 65 PSI, but as I hope to only use it away from home in emergencies, this is not a problem. Its a great pump.

As others have stated, the pump is beautifully made. There is no doubt about that! It really is nice to behold and to handle. I have seen perfectly serviceable student microscopes that were not engineered or finished half so well as this little pump. At first I was thrilled.... until I came to USE it, that is. Then I did run into problems... 1) I couldn't connect it satisfactorily to the Presta type valve of my tyre's tube, despite screwing the connector a long way down on the valve stem. Indeed, I got the feeling I was actually closing the valve up again by the act of screwing on the connector itself. I don't know this for sure. I just know I couldn't get ANY air in at all through the Presta end of the connector. Fortunately, that changed when I swapped to the Schrader end of the connector, which I was able to use by means of an adaptor I already owned. With the Schrader adaptor on the Presta valve I could see before connecting the pump that the valve was still in the 'up' position, and therefore capable of admitting air. 2) Whilst I could get air into the Presta valved tyre with the Schrader connector and an adaptor, there was no way I could raise the pressure above about 40 PSI, as indicated by the built-in gauge... (and confirmed by gauge on separate foot pump). I tried strenuously to get to higher pressure for quite some time; for about 25 minutes, in fact.. in three-minute or four-minute bursts of vigorous pumping action. But, no go. I just couldn't do it. Because I know how hard I tried to get to the 60 PSI mark, I am quite surprised if anybody could ever reach the 120 that is claimed for this pump. It happens that, although I was aiming for a pressure of 60, just 40 PSI will suffice as a get-me-home without damaging the tyre. 3) Because of all the effort I had put into pumping, I discovered the handle is pretty uncomfortable in use. Not only does it not have a fold-out T-bar design to spread the load across the palm of the hand, there isn't even a smooth end to the handle to push against. Instead there is the threaded boss where the connector tube goes inside, and that gets to be quite sharp and painful after the first two or three hundred high-strength pushes! Neither can the captive rubber dust cap be used as a cushion, because it doesn't fit when the connector tube is not inside. So, although the pump is very nicely made, and the little storage holder is also pretty good, I cannot honestly recommend it... well, unless you are riding on Schrader valved tyres run a bit on the soft side ??
