Pro Bike Tool Mini Bike Pump with Gauge - Compact and Portable Bicycle Tire Pump for Fast Inflation - Durable Bicycle Pump Compatible with Presta and Schrader Valves - Essential Mini Bike Accessories

I've only had this about 3 days. I bought it as an emergency inflator for my motorcycle. I have a battery powered tiny compressor but that lives inside one of my side bags and obviously the day I get a flat on the road will be a day I took off the bag for some reason. Anyway, all I can comment on is: Perceived build quality - Excellent, feels rock solid, nice texture, great feel. Inflator tube also looks very good. Appearance - Looks Great. I went with the gunmetal-ish color and it's very attractive. Not a criteria I cared about but I thought I'd mention it for those who might care. Ease of use - Very straightforward, getting the tube out, attaching it and then attaching the end of the schroeder valve onto my bike's tire was cake. bonus points for it letting less air out than any of my other pumps or compressors when attaching to the valve Pumping performance - For it's size it's phenomenal. About 100 pumps to go up 0.5 psi on my motorcycle tire once I had it up to 35 with the compressor. If you are buying this for a bicycle I think you will be very pleased. For a motorcycle if you had a full on flat you should expect to pump it probably north of 1,000 times to get to pressure (much less to get it to road-worthyness to then ride to a gas station to get it to pressure) but understand that this is a last resort type scenario and I'm prefectly satisfied with performance. Durability - hard to say but I will say that the fact that the tube lives INSIDE the pump is a fantastic design feature which should substantially increase lifespan for that portion of the pump. The only thing I will say is that in retrospect I wish I'd bought the version of the pump that doesn't have a built in "pressure gauge." The pump is so great at not losing air when you attach it/detach it that there is little to no benefit to that very crude indicator and I suspect that the day this pump fails it will fail at one of the joints on the hose... the no-pressure indicator hose version would have half the failure points.

I've had this pump for a little over a month but have only used it a couple of times here at home just to test it out. Build quality, fit and finish is superb. I can't yet comment on long term durability, the pump sure feels and looks like a quality build. While not absolutely necessary for emergency repairs when not at home, the pressure gauge (integrated into the hose) is a nice addition. I bought this as a backup to CO2 which I also carry. I should also say that I paid full price for the pump and was given no discount. The tires on my bike are 700 X 38 with the pressure range listed on the tires as 50 to 80 PSI. I keep the front tire at 60 psi and the rear tire 65. I never tried filling a tire from zero psi with this pump but from 60 to 65 psi it took about 20 pumps. Based on that I'm guessing it will take around 250 pumps or so to get it up to 65 psi in my 700 x 38 rear tire. Pumping certainly isn't as easy as with my floor pump or as fast ( I didn't nor should I expect it to be) but it is doable, just expect a bit of a work out. One minor issue I have when using this pump with my presta valves is as I screw the hose on to the valve the hose tends to tighten up the screw on the valve that lets the air in (or out!). To get around this I unscrew the valve as far as I can and tighten it a bit, problem solved... my presta valves do not have removable cores. On the plus side there is virtually no air loss when I remove the pump's hose. The built in gauge is pretty accurate considering is goes in 20 psi increments. So if the pressure you're after is anything other than 20 lb increments, it is a bit of a guess how far to go, say between 40 and 60 on the gauge. Even so you should be able to get the tire to within 5 psi or better of what you want. When I filled the tire from 60 to 65 psi I did so with the mark on the gauge reading just barely above the 60 psi mark. When I checked it with a Topeak digital gauge I got a bit lucky and it in fact read 65 psi. My one sticky point which I did not take any stars off for is the mounting bracket. Yes it holds the pump securely to the bike but when I mount it to the seat tube I must place the pump with the handle (the part you "pump" with) down. In that position dirt, water, whatever can drop into that handle. Turn it the other way and the pump is too low to mount because it hits the crank on the left side or the derailleur on the other side. I could mount it to the down tube with no issues. However I solved the seat post mount problem by putting on a thin O ring I had to cover the gap between the handle and the body of the pump. To their credit, I contacted Pro Bike Tool in the hopes they had another mounting solution. To their credit the sent me a new mount version within just a few days. Turns out it was the same mount I already had. They tried to make things right and based on their communications with me and honest attempt to help out I would rate their customer service top tier. Update 10/15/18: Pro Bike Tool must have read my review about receiving the same mount I already had. A few days after I posted the review here comes two mounts in the mail. One like I already had and another one with a different design with a velcro closure. The new design (new to me) has tighter mounts that snug better to the lower part of the pump and with the attached velcro fastener everything works much better for my bike. The other style may work better for others depending on how and where they mount the pump. With this second effort from Pro Bike Tool I must say their customer service is top notch and a lot better than most. If they have something I need I won't hesitate to order from them again.

Decent bike pump with a lot of options. I really like the presta valve and schader valve options because my family has both. I have used it a handful of time and seems to do with trick. It seems to provide good airflow. The attachments are easy to use and understand. I really like how everything fits tightly together. I would recommend this pump if you have both valves on your bikes.

Having used many “Mini” pumps I was expecting the same results: many strokes to fill the tire, gorilla strength to get to that 90 psi level, etc. This pump is not so different; however, the key word here is “many.” The other pumps that I have owned didn’t really last that long. They would last a year or two, and then I was off to buy a new one. I do a lot of touring (according to my logs the frame has ~ 31,500 miles on her), so the pump sure does get a lot of use. I think this pump will last quite a bit longer! It is made from quality materials, and the construction is top notch. Also, having the flexible hose is such a useful feature. Having the pannier racks to work around, it makes it so much easier to fill the tire. Also, there is less stress on the valve stem. It’s ingenious how it stores right in the body! The built in sliding pressure gauge is so sleek. No bulky round gauges! That’s another piece of equipment that I haven’t got to have in my kit. When I first received the pump I had to try it out. I pressurized a tire to 90 psi using the built in pressure gauge, and then checked it with my trusty portable gauge. The pressure was spot on! Also, I use Presta valves, and unlike other pumps I get very little air loss when disconnecting. The only concern that I have is the little rubber strap that secures the pump to the mounting bracket. I can see this failing further down the road. It doesn’t seem to be heavy enough to stand up against constant use, but the good thing is that there is a slot for running a strap through. I’m using a Velcro strap that I had lying around. The pump is more secure now, and protected against rattling. Well, I’ll be hitting the road soon, and after some use and abuse I’ll report back with an update. Great Job, Pro Bike Tool! Five thumbs up! Update - Ok, was out for a short ride (557 miles), and want to update my initial review. The pump performed perfectly! The only complaint is that it made a lot of noise, but I solved that on the first day out. I wrapped a little piece of rubber band around the main housing, and pushed the handle down around it - noise is gone! This is a great pump! Used it every other day, and the tires are happy, LOL! I'm a little concerned with the "O" rings, they seemed to be fraying a little, but that could be my fault from over tightening. Going out again very soon. Tour of a lifetime! Sold the house, and going to live on the road for awhile. This pump will make a great companion...

I am an avid Motorcycle rider and ride a 2008 BMW R1200GS Adventure. After many adventure rides across a wide array of different dual sport bikes I have learned that tire pressure is very important. On the BMW it is now standing out as THE most important... literally you can have gas in the tank but it aint worth didly squat if the bike is lying on its side in the sand or gravel because of TOO MUCH tire pressure. My point!... You need proper, (HI 32-38 psi) tire pressure to ride our beautiful highways. Yet you only want 15-20 psi for heavy sand or gravel. Adventure riding means changing your tire pressure if you want your limbs intact... This tool so far is as close to perfection as I have found... The compact nature, high quality materials and thoughtful engineering into offering a somewhat useful air pressure gauge, (more on this later) make this a must have for any motorcycle pouch. Concerns. First of all the unit worked flawlessly and made getting to the air valve very easy, all without letting a single iota of air escape in the process. The flexible tube took all of the abuse that normally your valve stem would take... AND THAT'S GOOD! I have had valve stems all the sudden start to leak or crack because of the repeated abuse of clamping type pumps. My concern is how much abuse the constant flexing of the hose in this unit can take..... But let me make clear if I get a year out of this device and the flexible hose was to let go, (it shows no signs that it would) I count this as a big win because of it's ease of use and lack of harm to my wheels valve stem. The pressure gauge is very simple and will take a good eye to discern small gradations, (and they would still be a guess) as the units are marked as 0-20-40... and I imagine all the way up to 120 in the same 20 psi increments. For this past weekend I was happy to just set the pressure for sub 20 psi and know that there was still air in the tire, and then pump it to sub 40 for street riding. BTW my riding buddies were very impressed with its quality and features... Oh the BMW on its side... That's what happens when there is to much pressure in the tires. And if you haven't dropped your Dual Sport bike you aren't riding it in the right places..

I’m the world’s biggest product skeptic, and had overlooked this inflator because I didn’t think I should take it seriously due to its tiny size. But after returning a defective brand-new $75 rechargeable tire inflator, I started looking at bicycle hand pumps — I only use a pump routinely to check and adjust my car’s cold tire PSIs. I was fascinated by this pump because of its clever design, but was dubious until I started reading the scores of near-universally positive reviews. I figured it couldn’t be that effortful to add just a pound or two of air in each of my car tires every few months. Well, the inflator arrived this week, and seeing it up close and feeling how sturdy it seems to be, I was impressed. The fittings and pump action work smoothly. Everything seems well-made, not at all flimsy. One of my tires was a pound low, tested with a quality gauge. Fitting the screw-on Schrader valve caused NO loss/leaking of tire air, nor did its removal. So simple and effective versus the common flip or press-on car tires valves. I was able to add a full pound of air to a 205/45 x 17 tire with just 50 easy pump strokes, taking under a minute. This was so much easier than the old hand-pump inflators that I’d used for decades until mine finally crapped out last month. This new inflator looks like it belongs in a museum, but it has found a worthy home in my Miata’s trunk. A truly exceptional product!!

The pump is very compact and appears to be well-made. I haven't used it to inflate a repaired flat (and hope I never need to), but I have tested it, and it works as advertised. Owing to its size, the volume of air pumped with each stroke is relatively small, so it would take many strokes to inflate a tube from flat, but that's OK. Unlike a CO2 inflator, it never runs out of cartridges, and plan air doesn't leak out of a tire as quickly as CO2. The ability to service both Shrader and Presta valves and the in-line gauge are bonuses. Over the years, I've used frame-pumps more to aid others than to inflate my own flats. At first, I thought the pump's offset mount was a bit funky, but I attached it to the down-tube using the same screws as my bottle cage, and it's quite unobtrusive there, nestled snuggly right next to my water bottle. All in all, a nice product.

Have no doubt, this is a super pump. In fact, it is too good for it's purpose. First, it's made with precision engineering. You can feel it's a premium product just by holding it, compared with most other pumps. I bought it for the following reasons: - no small parts to fiddle with dirty fingers should i need to patch a presta or scharder airtube while out in the trails - pressure gauge - the entire hose (with gauge) can be kept internally, protecting the ends from damage and dirt However, real life usage brought along reality - The pump engineering and paint is just too well made for it to be carried out while cycling on dirt trails. If i have to patch and pump a tyre, my dirty fingers would probably damaged the glossy painted surfaces. Think it'll hurt me more than the pump. Imagine getting the paintwork of your brand new Toyota versus Ferrari scratched. Which hurt you more? You get the idea. - Same situation for the mounting bracket. It grips the pump very tightly (which is good), but with a few more detaching of the pump, the beautiful black paint would most probably be scratched off. Also, will the mounting bracket crack after prolonged use due to material fatigue? - The pump works well for adult bikes due to the long spokes. Mine's a 26" wheel. It's terrible on a child bike however. You can see from the pictures that due to the limited space (shorter bike spoke due to smaller wheel), and the gauge being along the hose, it can hardly be used. The location of the gauge greatly reduces the flexibility of the hose. Had the gauge be on the pump barrel like lots of other pumps (round gauge) and the entire air hose being flexible, this problem would not occur. I would have been able to bent the hose out more more easily. The two small sections of rubber hose may be flexible but i'm not sure if the metal joints will last if the hose is repeatedly bent to around 90deg. If you only have adult bikes tyres to maintain, the reduced flexibility is manageable. You may however want to look for something else if you are looking for a pump that can also be used on a for child or to inflate small tyres. - The presta and schrader ends of the host has a rubber seal within. To use, connect the tyre valve to the hose before connecting the other end of the hose to the pump before pumping. To disconnect, unscrew the tyre valve from the hose before the end with the pump. This sequence will greatly reduce the air leakage from the valve of the pumped-up tyre. This is a good feature. - As a reference on pump strokes, the 12" tyre (child bike) requires about 40 strokes from flat to about 20psi. The pump barrel will get warm with use. This is my honest comment. I bought the pump paying the full advertised price, no discount or test pieces to review. Oh yes, Pro Bike Tool will actually email you shortly after your purchase to find out if you have any issues using the pump. Among the many items i have purchased online, this is the very first company who provide such professional service and initiative. I'm deeply impressed! If you can redesign the pump to have the gauge on the barrel and a more rugged design, you'll probably have made the perfect pump!

Funciona perfecto!

Muy buena bomba, su manómetro sirve sin problemas y se puede llevar al lado del porta botella sin problemas, he pasado sobre senderos y carretera y en ningún momento se ha caído la bomba sin necesidad de apretarlo

Super mooie vormgeving, klein en metalen behuizing. Was onder de indruk over de vorm, kracht en stevigheid. Barsmeter erin als extra gadget. Geweldig. Voor gebruik wel eerst goed de instructies moeten lezen... verwijderen gaat niet altijd goed. Laatste keer draaide ik het hele ventiel eruit bij het verwijderen van de pomp. Dat schiet niet op natuurlijk. Nog geen idee hoe dat beter kan. Er zijn video's beschikbaar over deze fietspomp, dat helpt wel.

Ottima fattura, piccola e maneggevole, funziona alla perfezione.
