Review on 🚲 TOPEAK Racerocket HP Pump: Compact and Powerful Black Bike Pump by Tom Reasons

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great pump. But beware of removable cores (especially longer Presta valves) otherwise it's useless.

Great mini pump. Small, light, with very good pressure. Mine were removable as I don't need that feature. I love this pump highly recommend. NO. and that's a HUGE NO.. aerodynamic rims ) some of them have removable stems for attaching valve extenders. To be honest I didn't know my valves had them. First time I had to use this pump use "I had an accident. I screwed it onto the valve to get a secure, tight connection, inflated the tire slightly to a stable pressure, then unscrewed the pump fitting from the valve. Second, I've since spoken to another rider I know with one of those pumps (and deeper aero rims) and he said the same thing happened to him, so I'm sending him back. I spoke to Topeak and they admitted it had happened to other customers with this pump. After that I bought a slightly larger Topeak Pocket Rocket DXII (with a lever lock to securely attach to the valve instead of a threaded connector) which works even better (higher pressure with ease). As much as I love this pump's design, size, weight and flexible hose/connector, if it takes the valves apart on my standard hoses when I need it most, I can't count on it. defeats the whole purpose.

Pros
  • Packaging Dimensions: 12"L x 10"W x 5"H
Cons
  • Out of fashion
