Bicycle Pump – Topeak JoeBlow X.O.

Filed under Floor Bicycle Pump, Manual Bicycle Pump by




Topeak JoeBlow X.O. Floor pump

The Topeak Joe Blow XO Floor Pump, in all honesty, looks awesome! Aside from the looks thought, tire inflation has never felt so good. This bicycle pump is made with highly polished aluminum, and features an oversized base mounted gauge, SmartHead ThreadLock technology and a pressure release button for hassle-free inflation. Topeak’s Joe Blow Pro X.O. is sleek, durable and it fills your tires with ease. It quickly inflates tires thanks to its all-aluminum construction and its SmartHead tightly grips both Presta and Schrader valves. The X.O. uses a long braided metal hose and an oversized, tubular handle that make every pumping job easy. And, you’ll also appreciate the large, easy-to-read gauge.
This pump is well build, strong and the best of all with good material. The gauge is as advertised, very easy to read, plus you have constant pressure reading upon pumping, and the mutliple nozzle is an art on it self.
The whole pump is very light, but when it’s place on the floor, it is easy to handle and pumps volume in one single stroke, due to the long shaft.
Anybody that likes a good and quality product, this is clearly done in the production of this fantastic “Joeblow” metal bicycle pump.
Topeak, job well done with the design and production of this item.

Bicycle Pump – Lezyne Road Drive Pump

Filed under Frame Pump, Hand Bicycle Pump, Mini Bicycle Pump, Road Bicycle Pump by





Lezyne Road Drive Hand Pump (Silver, Large)
Lezyne Road Drive Pump is THE pump to get if you ride a road bike. This Lezyne high pressure bicycle hand pump is very light, quick to set up and delivers air efficiently for its small size.
Like the majority of Lezyne products the Road Drive Pump is a high-quality bicycle pump, made entirely of aluminum for precise and lightweight construction. With it’s size of 283 mm for the large version and 216 mm for the medium version, Road Drive Pump is not really a mini pump, but it’s also to small for a frame pump, although it comes with it’s own alloy bottle-cage mounting bracket. This pump fits inside the seat post itself, and is held in place with some adhesive based hook and loop fastner (very easy to install).
The flexible hose that connects the pump to the Schrader/Presta valve is reason enough to buy this pump. You will be amazed at how little effort you can get the tires to be rock hard. While this isn’t as speedy as CO2 inflator, you will prefer it since it’s reusable. The ABS switch is wonderful. ONE simple press removes the pressure from the pump and hose, allowing you to easily screw the hose off of the valve without worrying about either ripping the valve core out or losing any of your hard-earned air. The barrel, handle, piston, end caps and pump mount are all custom CNC machined. Both ends of the CNC-ed aluminium pump are protected by rubber caps to stop road gunk getting inside and the connecting hose screws securely inside the handle.
The pumping itself is not difficult. It’s almost as easy as a floor pump. You will get get a 700x23c tire up to 110psi in 150 strokes. 50 more will get you up to 120psi.
If you’re going to frame-mount the pump, than chose the size Large- it’s still not that long. If you stuff your pump in a pocket then consider the shorter version. With 20% more inflation power than a typical bicycle pump, this Lezyne pump is the ultimate hand pump when weight and performance matter. If you ride a road bike, and a pump is your primary means of inflation, get one of these!

Keeps the pressure up while you are removing it from the shock. There’s virtually no leakage on disconnect.

CO2 Inflator – Innovations Ultraflate Plus

Filed under Compressed Air CO2 Inflator by




Innovations Ultraflate Plus CO2

First, a bit of advice: always carry a bicycle pump in addition to your CO2 inflator. The CO2 inflator is really ideal for when hand pumping starts to get difficult as pressure builds in the tire, but not by itself. Your ride, your comfort, and your endurance will all be far better if you’re better equipped.
You will need the hand pump to start out the tube, and should use it to quickly do a pumping until it starts to get hard to move the pump, THEN use the CO2 inflator for the hard part. By using the hand pump first, you can inflate the tire fully using only one cartridge instead of two or three.
A road tire will pump up to 100 psi on one cartridge, one shot, on a warm day.
On a cold day, below 40F, the cartridge pump could be almost useless.
Know also that this pump is compatible with every kind of cartridge except 12 gram threadless, which are hard to find except for the air rifle cartridges that contain silicon. But they work best with 16 gram threadless, so you can use handle and all.
The locking switch is a great improvement over an old CO2 inflator, which didn’t have this feature, so that you can still use that bit of air that may be left in a partially used cartridge.
You have to be careful with this type of inflator. You can easily over fill your tubes! This isn’t the product’s fault, it’s the user. Give it a quick one or two bursts with the trigger and check the pressure before you inflate it any more. This inflator will take both threaded and non-threaded CO2 cartridges. If you use threaded cartridges you do not need the lower portion of the inflator which means you can pack even lighter.
Innovations Ultraflate Plus CO2 is easy to use with built in safety feature and trigger inflation. Works with ALL Genuine Innovations CO2 refill cartridges (except 45 gram). Comes with one 16g non-threaded CO2 cartridge.
Fast fill, just put a go! You never stop cycling for flat tire. Is easy to use and it is priceless when you can go many miles without worries to stop and end your trip because have a flat tire.

Product Features
• Uses Genuine Innovations’ Trigger Control Technology
• Push on for Presta and screw on for Schrader valves
• Safety lock prevents accidental discharge
• Designed for the rider who demands a higher end CO2 tire inflator;
Size/ Weight: 128mm x 32mm x 52mm, 5.039 x 1.259 x 2.043,2.57 oz; 73 grams
• High strength glass-reinforced nylon, brass valve internals

Watch here a full video review of this CO2 inflator, but remember that you should always carry a bicycle pump with you!
