Review on 🚴 High-performance Alloy Bicycle Pump by Cesar Danger

I bought a Klic HV with gauge as an emergency pump to take with me mountain biking and I think it will be great for that purpose. The pump looks good, nothing feels cheap or flimsy. The handle pivots to the side and locks in the open position, giving you a solid and comfortable platform to rest your palm on while you work. Twisting the handle reveals a hose hidden in a pole, which can be pulled out of its hiding place by gently tapping the handle against your palm (not sure what you'll do if it gets stuck there; pull it out with a couple needles). Tongs?). The head rotates with a pleasant click to reveal the mounting hole and the hose is locked firmly in place thanks to powerful magnetic forces. As for the overall feel and construction, I have no complaints. As a test, I let the air out of my front tire and filled it up with Klic. The hose coiled easily onto the Presta valve stem and formed an airtight seal, after which I connected the pump myself and started pumping. I haven't been counting strokes or times myself, but I think it's safe to say it took me a few minutes to go from empty to 40psi as read on the handy onboard gauge and the job was up to At this point, the pump runs smoothly and with minimal effort. After 40psi it became noticeably harder to push the crank and I started to sweat a little and felt some fatigue in my hands as I slowly crawled up to 50psi. It was doable, but not easy. After 50psi, pushing the button required significantly more effort, and while I could probably get my tire up to its maximum rating of 60psi if I really worked at it, it wasn't worth trying as 50psi is a perfectly safe pressure for me , and you generally don't want your tires to be running at max pressure. The magnetic connection that holds the hose in place is certainly up to the task and never came loose until I wanted it to, and the pressure gauge conveniently visible on either side of the hose seems accurate enough if you don't expect accuracy. The Klic comes with a frame mount that attaches to the side of the water bottle cage, but I don't know why anyone would wear it like that, especially when riding off-road. The pump gets covered with the dirt you throw off the track and I've read reports of the head getting stuck in the closed position due to sand getting into the mechanism. While the head can be removed and cleaned, it's definitely not something you want to mess around with when you're miles from home and just need to pump up a tire. Luckily, the Klic is compact and can easily be slipped into a pocket where it's protected from the elements, so I plan on carrying it around. Klic is not something I plan to use regularly to store my tires. puffed up, but glad to have it with me when I need it. UPDATE: Three days after writing this review, I got the chance to use Klic on the go. I was driving when my rear tire suddenly lost air and to my delight the Klic worked perfectly. It took longer to remove the tire from the rim and change the tube than it did to pump it up! And it saved me the long journey home.
