Review on 🚴 High-performance Alloy Bicycle Pump by Aaron Lewis

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Neat little packaging; not the best performance

I think it's a good pump. The magnetic mount is decent, but more importantly, it works well without leaking air. Everything is perfectly stowed away in a small package and even offers space for additional equipment such as valve inserts. Really nice design. However, it is difficult to properly connect this pump to the Presta valves. It doesn't hold up at all with pressed pressure or O-rings; At the same time, it takes a decent amount of force to get in deep enough where the threads bite and you can screw onto the valve. It just didn't feel as smooth as it could have been, and the back of my head was having thoughts like "Is that too much stress for the valve?". The pressure this thing can generate isn't the best. Depends on what you ride and where you want to set your pressure. This may or may not be an issue for you, but it struggles at higher pressures above 20psi. It gets very difficult to pump and that comes from those who train and work daily for strength and core. I'm still keeping it as a backup of the "just get me off track" kind of deal. But don't expect exact or ideal higher pressures with this pump or pressure gauge. Speaking of which, the gauge jumps a lot and it's difficult to check the pressure without releasing 10psi of air.

  • cool product
