Review on 🚲 Efficient Inflation on-the-go: Blackburn Core Standard and Slim Bike Mini-Pump by Charles Phillips

I have been using Blackburn frame and mini pumps for at least 20 years and they have never let me down. Now that almost everyone goes tubeless, care must be taken to keep your tubeless valve happy. Hunched at the edge of a trail or road, fed up with fixing a slow leak or a full flat tire, this is a great opportunity to damage a valve with a mini pump. Blackburn have reduced the chances of this happening with a tiny hose that separates your pump output from your valve. I was hesitant to upgrade my pump as my current Blackburn works well, is light and tiny. Despite doing 7,000 miles a year on gravel and gravel, I only have a leak on my car once every two years. When I saw this pump at my local bike shop I knew straight away I would buy it, the build quality is superb, no compromises have been made on the finish or materials. A small valve core tool comes in very handy and will eventually save you the trip when figuring out why you're having a slow leak. thin version of this pump). Once the sealant sealed the hole, I was able to easily inflate the tire. Who would have thought that something as simple as a mini pump could be improved? The pump connects to your valve with threads, so there's no chance of a leak or accidental popping, and the stem appears to be coated with some sort of Teflon so pumping is easy. I won't say it was fun, but it was the least annoying trail riding experience I've ever had. Overall, this pump is great. I bought this MTB slim pump version for my mountain bikes the day after using the slim version. I've tested it on a few bikes in the garage and it works great. This version of the pump is slightly more weatherproof than the Slim version and is designed to last forever. The clamp that attaches this pump to your frame feels very secure and will hold the pump for hundreds of miles. This pump costs much more than the asking price.
