Blackburn AirTower 4 Bicycle Floor Pump Review

Blackburn AirTower 4 Bicycle Floor PumpAfter working hard with other less expensive pumps to get up to the required 110 psi in my bicycle tires I decided to spend a little more money and get something better. After several hours of research I decided that this pump might fill the bill. I was right. The volume of air delivered versus the effort expended is high. It is a cinch to get up to 110 psi. Topping off automobile tires by a couple of psi to 30 psi just takes a few stroke of the pump. I don't even break a sweat in the Texas summer heat when I use this pump. The extra length of the hose is very useful and the pressure gauge at the top of the pump is easily read. The pump appears to be well made and should last a long time.

This is a great pump for the price and the lifetime warranty helped to make my choice. I contacted Blackburn to make sure there were no hidden requirements for the warranty feature and there aren't. I have also used other Blackburn products with satisfaction.

If you are reading this I assume you are in the market for a pump. I heartily recommend it.

Blackburn TPS-2 Bicycle Floor Pump Review

Blackburn TPS-2 Bicycle Floor PumpI wouldn't buy this again, I ride road and have competed for the past 6 months. Have had the pump for 18 months. It is easy to use and has a great warranty, but I find its not that great for getting tubes to high pressures like 120psi, it squeaks and leaks at these pressures (ok till it gets to 100psi in my experience). Is great for the kids bikes and my mountain bike, but if you want a pump for very hi pressure road tyres, I wouldn't recommened this one.

Blackburn AirTower 3 Bicycle Floor Pump Review

Blackburn AirTower 3 Bicycle Floor PumpIt's a good floor pump.Has a couple of features that make it a bit more handy than usual.The pressure gauge is at the top, very handy and makes it much easier to read.The head that you put on the valve is both presta and shraeder and took me a bit to figure out. The lever lifts up to lock it on, not down as I'm used to, no instructions anywhere to tell you that either.

It's easy to pump and pushes a large volume of air, can even fill up mountain bike tires over 2.25" wide to 80+lbs fairly quickly.Definitely no need for an electric pump if you own this thing.

Oh and when I bought it, the white was cheaper than the black, has a great finish and I'm happy I bought the white now as it looks very clean and modern something I'm not sure the black one would do.

Bell Windstorm Premium Floor Pump with Gauge Review

Bell Windstorm Premium Floor Pump with GaugeI bought this as a replacement for a bicycle pump that I owned and used for about 20 years. That one died finally, and I thought this Bell Windstorm with a pressure gauge would be convenient. I have had this for about 3-4 months, using it about 10 times in that period. While it was working it worked well and I appreciated the onboard pressure gauge feature. The rubber hose has now broken where it attaches to the pump and it will not inflate anything. I do not see a way I, as a consumer, can repair it. This was assembled using glue to attach the hose to the pump. I would have to send the unit to Bell post paid with the original receipt (which I no longer have) to get the unit replaced under the Bell 3 year warranty. The cost of shipping alone would be about the same as the cost of a replacement, so the warranty is pretty much worthless to me. I would not buy one of these again.

Blackburn Redesigned Air Tower 4 Bicycle Floor Pump Review

Blackburn Redesigned Air Tower 4 Bicycle Floor PumpThis pump is very sturdy and has a nicely designed handle.It pumped my road tires to 110 psi quickly with no leaking while pumping (the stems were already a little funky from another pump that I had used which had bent the stemsslightly). Has a separate hole for schrader and presta, so there's no complications with bad fits or things that are going to break. I'm not sure why anyone would buy another brand given their lifetime warranty.I bought one Blackburn mountain bike pump 12 years ago. Three years ago a part broke, I sent it to them and they sent me a new pump.No questions.On a 9 year old pump that had been used on lots of muddy single track....

Reading some reviews on other pumps I would like to note:when you release a very high pressure pump from a tire, there will be a large discharge of air.This is coming from the pump, not the tire (at least if it's a well designed pump) and is normal.

Product Description:
The AirTower 4 gets even better thanks to a completely redesigned cast aluminum base that is a whopping 275% stiffer than the previous design, and also wider for a more stable platform. It also receives an all-new doublebarrel head that boosts reliability and is also rebuildable, and a more robust pressure gauge. These upgrades, along with the tried-and-true aluminum barrel and ergonomic handle, make the AirTower 4 a class leader.
