Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Years ago I owned a Zefal frame pump that, unfortunately, I left on top of my car and managed to lose. Just recently I bought two more of these pumps--one for my wife and one for myself. This is the best pump you can buy for road bike tires. It attaches securely to the frame by spring action. It locks onto the tire's valve well. And it is relatively easy to pump the tire up to full pressure. In fact, if you own this pump and trust yourself to judge proper inflation pressures, you don't really need a floor pump.
I would give this product a 5-start rating except for one small problem: it needs some some sort of minimal instruction sheet. (1) New owners may need to know how to switch from Presta to Schrader valve setup. (2) There is a bit of a trick to attaching the pump to a Presta valve. You have to line it up just right and then slide it on the valve until you feel it 'click' past the indentation on the valve stem (if there is one). Finally, (3) I find it best to pump up my tires with the wheels on the bike, the bike leaning against something secure, and the valve stem near the top of the wheel. Then you hold onto both of the rubber grips and pump by bringing your fists together. . . . I bent a couple of valve stems before I learned the proper technique, but, having learned, the pump works flawlessly.
It is solid and well-constructed, with an all aluminum body, so it should last a long time. There may be a slight weight penalty to carrying a full frame pump on a modern light-weight road bike, but if you find yourself fixing many flats, you'll be glad to have a Zefal. A new tube, CO2 pump, and two cartridges (a setup that many road cyclists prefer) probably weighs more than the Zefal and a patch kit.

The Zefal frame fit pump fits in the vertical position without a peg or umbrella clip by using a patented spring locking system. High pressure is reached with easy pumping action thanks to a small diameter, long compression chamber made of light alloy.
