Review on Prestacycle Right Angle Quick Click2 Presta by Scott Reeves

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Prestacycle: A simple but great concept, poorly executed. And, unfortunately, they eliminate bugs at the expense of users.

Bought to replace the original head on a prestacycle inflator I bought a few years ago. I've only tried using the original inflator a couple of times but got frustrated and threw it in a drawer. The problem wasn't so much with the head as with the rubber gasket used. The original was so stiff you could barely get the presta valve in and if you did it wouldn't close. The new head seems to have a more flexible hub that works with a slight pressure adjustment. Still not perfect, but at least it's usable now. I should mention that I could just buy a new bushing as it fits both the old and new heads. The main issue I'm having with the Prestacycle right now is the ridiculously stiff tube. User should not pay for bad design decisions made by designer.

Pros
  • nice item
Cons
  • exchange available
