PRO BIKE TOOL FBA_HPM

This bike pump is a work of art. I want to put it in a display case just to admire it like it's a lightsaber prop or something. I have a black one that works great and wanted another one for my other bike. Since black was not available, I got this silver one. Beautiful. The design is clever with the hose that stores inside. It puts less stress on the valve stem, which is good since they sometimes rip apart at the base and are not repairable. I would like to have a gauge, but it's not necessary and the smaller size of the pump is more important than having a gauge so that it fits in my seat bag. Of course I could strap it to the bike frame, in which case the pump length wouldn't really matter. The gauge on the other model doesn't look that precise anyway. Just squeeze the tire to check the pressure. A flip out T-handle found on some other pumps is more comfortable, but that's OK. This is my favorite compact pump I've ever had out of several I've owned. Pro Bike Tool Rocks!

Have not used yet, compact enough for fitting in top tube case.

Did not use it for the bike trip I just went on but had the pump with me, small easy to pack.

Solid aluminum construction and neat compact design. The hose unscrews from the body and allows a tight screw connection into the Presta valve. My previous pumps had the crappy 'push tight and flip lever' seal, this one is far superior. You're guaranteed to put 100% of the pumped air into tire. Pumps with little effort and quickly. Specifically, I filled a 27.5 x3.0 mid-fat tire in 200ish pumps from flat to firm. I was effortlessly pumping 20x every 10 seconds.

This quality pump fits nicely in the back of a jersey pocket with a thin flat kit. It functions well. Before purchasing I read reviews that stated a presta valve head may come unscrewed when removing the hose-head after inflation. To remedy this potential issue, I've started tightening my presta valve heads on all my 700c tubes, in the event I have to use the pump. You may not know that you can remove the core of a presta valve. You can easily snug it up with a pair of pliers. I'd advise practicing with the pump before it's actually needed on the road side. After flatting one too many times lately, I upgraded tires and, in addition to the pump, carry a flat kit with one tube, one CO2, and now a patch kit. If the CO2 fails, I have this handy little pump. If I flat twice in a ride, I have the patch kit (and this handy little pump!). I finally have a system that gives me peace of mind, using only one jersey pocket, and no bike bag under my saddle.

It's nice and sleek and gets the job done, but honestly it's a workout just pumping up the tires. It's sleek design actually works against you in this case because it's exceedingly hard to grip and pumping takes too much effort IMO. It can also be clumsy to screw onto a presta valve and sometimes closes the valve when screwing, so you have to start over and try again. It's good for its portability, but I'm sure there are better ones available for everyday use.

Love this bike pump! Arrived today and I used it right away. It works great and it’s super compact! Great value also - highly recommend.

Having had one of these for years, I bought two more as gifts. The pump can be used for Presta valves or Schrader valves and has a pressure gage built in. It has a nice pump carrier which fastens beneath the water bottle cage. I think the recipients will be very happy with these.
