Review on 🚡 Maximize Your Mountain Biking Experience with the Topeak Joeblow Mountain Floor Pump by Michael Shim

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Inflates tires quickly, but needs refinishing

Large bore is ideal for mountain and fat bike tires. It's bloody hard to level up multi-purpose or street units until you're blue in the face. I gave it an average rating mainly because of the caliber and ambidextrous cartridge. The former is enough to tell you "approximately" how much air is in your tires, but doesn't provide the accuracy needed to fine-tune the pressure. The latter works well, but it's a little finicky with Presta valves - it's difficult to run continuously without losing air. All my bikes have Presta valves so I can't comment on how well they work with Schraders. It's a good pump and I'm glad I have it, I just had higher expectations. I can live with the design of the cartridge, but I bought a separate digital pressure gauge (also from Topeak) to fine-tune the pressure.

Pros
  • BASE - Composite
Cons
  • Available in black only
