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.

Topeak JoeBlow Sport Floor Bike Pump Review

Topeak JoeBlow Sport Floor Bike PumpMine worked fine--for about 9 months.Then the valve blew out and it was worthless except for inflating rubber balls to about 9 psi.Wouldn't recommend this, unless you want to buy a new pump every year or so.

Topeak JoeBlow Sprint Floor Bike Pump Review

Topeak JoeBlow Sprint Floor Bike PumpGreat 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.

Topeak JoeBlow Max II Floor Bike Pump Review

Topeak JoeBlow Max II Floor Bike PumpI've had this pump for about a month.

Pumps up tires/tubes with Shrader valves OK.

The Presta valve side of the twin head does not work properly with short stemmed Presta valves. It seems that the pump nozzle has difficulty in forming a good seal with short stemmed Presta valves. The pump will only pump up to around 75 PSI into the tire/tube. Pressures beyond 75 PSI appear to "seal" the valve, which prevents further tire/tube inflation. The extra pressure just pressurizes the pump hose only!

Pumping to higher pressures is a bit difficult. Especially when compared to easier working pumps such as Specialized and Blackburn brands which I have also.

Overall it is an average pump.

Not recommended for use with short stemmed Presta valves.
