Review on 🚲 LEZYNE Classic Floor Drive Bike Pump: High Pressure 220psi, Presta & Schrader Valve, Durable Hose, 3.5" Gauge by Michael Hogate

My old floor pump had a lever mount where you press it against the valve stem and at the same time lift the lever to press it against the valve stem. This is not easy and often comes loose from the valve stem before you have inflated the tire to the desired pressure. After years of this nonsense, I decided to look for a better method. I looked around and found a Lezyne floor pump. It screws SIMPLY with a stable, safe and defined connection. He STAYS ON! The air hose is longer than my old one (which is good) and last but not least very flexible, almost soft, which is also good because you can wrap it around the spokes or another wheel. Parts to easily reach the valve stem. Every once in a while you come across a product that is so well designed that you wonder why anyone else would use anything else. That's how I feel about this pump. I think every bike owner should have a pump like this! I saw two concerns about this pump mentioned by other reviewers, one is that the valve core can come out if you unscrew and separate the valve stem. I haven't had this problem. I'm wondering if this problem occurs when the user over-threads the nozzle onto the valve stem during installation. Another problem mentioned was that this pump does not press mechanically on the valve core, but forces it to open when pumping with air pressure. The concern was that this could lead to inaccurate gauge readings. I didn't see it either. I check my pressure with a hand gauge when I'm done and it's very accurate. I think the fact that it uses air pressure to open the air core (rather than mechanically) during its downstroke contributes greatly to its accuracy. When you separate the tire with the lever, air is forced out of the tire for a few seconds until you separate it completely and the valve core closes. Very little air comes out of this pump when you unscrew it, and that air comes out of the tube, not the tire. When switching off, the valve insert is already closed. The inflated air remains in the tire.
