Topeak JoeBlow Pro Floor Bike Pump Review

Topeak JoeBlow Pro Floor Bike Pump
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is without a doubt the best bike pump I have ever owned. It never fails and fits both schrader and presta valve stems. My tires are tubular presta and I can't tell you what a nuisance it was fitting on the adapter. Not with this pump. It's almost effortless.Totally built to last. I inflate my tires to 125-130 PSI and it only takes several easy strokes to get there. Topeak makes great products. No nonsense. No cutting corners.

Blackburn Mountain Air Mountain Bike Pump Review

Blackburn Mountain Air Mountain Bike Pump
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I was shopping for a pump with the intention of purchasing the carbon fiber version. After checking out the difference in price I decided I would not use the pump often enough to spend the extra money. A month or so later I ended up flatting and was dreading using the pump, to my surprise this pump was so solid and so fast that I told every cyclist I know to buy one and I forever tucked away my CO2 cartridges.
Although I do not recommend you use this pump daily, it is strong enough to handle the use. Buy this pump without hesitation, you will not regret you purchase. I've been riding mountain bikes for over 20 years and this is the first pump I've used that was worth recommending.

Planet Bike 1007-3 Comp Floor pump with Love Handle (More Durable than OId Comp) Review

Planet Bike 1007-3 Comp Floor pump with Love Handle (More Durable than OId Comp)

Based on the price I paid I expected a product of basic quality. However, I am surprised by the quality of the design and it seems to be solidly built. The adjustable arrow on the air pressure indicator is a nice feature as it keeps me from forgetting what my max pressure is and blowing up the tube.
I'm no expert on bike pumps (first one I've owned) but it does the job and is well constructed - so I would strongly reccomend it to anyone.

The right tire pressure makes for a great ride. Enter the Planet Bike Comp floor pump, which will get you pumped up fast and back on the saddle. The Comp features a super-tough composite construction, with a large base for stability and a comfortable-on-the-hands Love Handle. The pump's auto-valve dual head, meanwhile, lets you easily inflate both Presta or Schrader valves (it even works with automobile tires). Plus, the 160 psi gauge is easy to read, with color-coded inflation guidelines and precise accuracy. Pressure rated to 200 psi, the gauge is stronger than the previous Comp and comes in a sleek black color.

Bell Windstorm Floor Pump with Gauge Review

Bell Windstorm Floor Pump with Gauge
Average Reviews:

I picked one of these the other day at the big bricks and mortar store. Mainly for my car. The guy in the 'car and tires' department looked like he was about to have a heart attack - "get a FOOT pump" he kept repeating, "these are for BIKES, not cars". When challenged, he wasn't able to actually find and show me the foot pump so the Bell Floor Pump with Gauge it was.
To make the short story short, I got all 4 tires inflated from 28 psi to the recommended 33 psi in about 10 minutes. It was about 25-30 pumps per tire to raise the pressure by 5 psi and I didn't break a sweat - cold winter, cold garage.
The good things this pump has going for are:
- comfortable grip
- pretty good pumping volume - sending a lot of air into the tire with each press
- air does not escape once it's mounted on the tire
- inexpensive
The not so good things:
- air hose is pretty short and on an SUV or truck you may have to roll it a little if the spout happens to be too high for the short hose
- the foot rests seem to be relatively easy to break plastic so you handle it with care
- the gauge readings are not reliable - they really show you the pressure in the pump not in the tire - used the Accutire MS-4350B Programmable Digital Tire Gauge for precise measurements
Briefly: this is a perfect pump for bikes and a good one for small cars, maybe not so convenient but still usable with trucks and really big SUVs.

Topeak JoeBlow Sprint Floor Bike Pump Review

Topeak JoeBlow Sprint Floor Bike Pump
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Great pump. Key aspects:
1) Steal base is wide and stable.
2) Pressure guage is located at top of shaft. It is easy to read as far as pump guages go.
3) Pumping is effortless. I attached it to my mini-van tires, and with a good deal of pumping, was able to top off the pressure. Not more convenient than a air compressor, but definitely do-able in 5 - 10 min of pumping if you need to do it.
4) Pressure guage is accurate, and includes a bleed valve so that you can release air without removing the hose from the valve.
Only complaint: the T-type valve adapter is just a little bulky. It could be a problem if you need to get it into a really tight space (this problem is very unlikely for the typical user, but possible I think). A cheap valve extender from your local sports store would fix this problem if it occurs, and it may be worth the hassle to have both schrader and presta adapters permanently affixed to the pump.
Definitely a good buy. Would highly recommend, and would definitely buy it again.
