Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought this pump for my bike, and it works about as you would expect. It has a Schrader head (the kind you find on cars and many bikes), but includes a Presta adapter (found on some bikes with thinner wheels, as the valve itself is also significantly thinner--you'll probably know if you have this kind). It also includes a "pin" adapter for things like basketballs and small plastic nozzle-type thing for some inflatables. I have not used these last two adapters, so I cannot vouch for them, but I have used the pump well on both Schrader and Presta valves.
The gauge goes up to 120 psi, but the box claims it can only do 100 psi (although the product description here claims 120 as of my writing this). Having used it, I suspect 100 psi is the max. My only quibbles are that, despite this claim, I still have an incredibly difficult time getting above about 70 psi (even when I use both my legs to press--or even my whole body)--it tends to "leak" air out the valve with the pump attached. This probably won't be a problem for balls or mountain bikes, but for higher-pressure tires like road bikes and some hybrids, it might be a lot of work or even impossible to go as high as it claims.
Also, this was my first time using Presta valves (I just got a new bike), and I had never used a Presta adapter before. Everybody besides me probably knows this, but there are no directions, and I was confused at first. The proper way is to screw the Presta adapter onto the Presta valve first, then attach the pump to *the adapter on the valve* just as if it were a Schrader valve. (I thought the adapter was for the pump. It is easy to attach it to the pump fist but difficult or impossible to then attach it to the valve.) Again, everyone probably knows this, but I thought I'd say it in case it helps out anyone else.
In summary: this pump is good, but don't necessarily expect road-bike-like high pressures with ease. Still, it's better better (but less portable) than a frame/hand pump.
