BV Bicycle Pump Durable Bike Floor Pump 17/24 inch Smart Valve Head, 160 psi, Automatically Reversible Presta and Schrader

I got this pump based on many favorable reviews I read on here beforehand, and also because I needed a good pump for my bike tires. I've had countless fails with pumps, the last being the Black & Decker Air Station which was a disaster and lasted a few times before breaking, perhaps because of a blown fuse; I'll steer clear of the Black & Decker, and hope that this BV Pump withstands the test of time. I have another foot pump that sort of works, but it takes stupendous muscular action to get it to pump up my bike tires - and it doesn't have a p.s.i. meter like this pump either...This nice little yellow pump - I got the yellow because it's cheery and was a bit cheaper on Amazon than the silver at the time of purchase - worked splendidly at pumping my bike tires up to 55 p.s.i. with such little arm effort. The only effort comes from getting the nozzle to come off of your valve stem once you're done pumping your tire up. I've only used the Schrader side of the nozzle (no Presta side) which is a very snug fit, so be gentle and wiggle it off of there so it doesn't damage your hand when you're lifting up on it to take it off after first releasing the switch to the center position. It seems that when you move the switch back to the center, very little air escapes the tire, and you have a bit of time to then wiggle the snugly-fitting nozzle off of the valve stem.Before you pump, I recommend a rather firm right hand grip on the nozzle before you clamp it down onto your valve stem; you can use your left index finger and thumb to turn the switch/lever so the little arrow on the lever points not straight ahead, but to the tiny "S" marked on the nozzle - that locking of the switch to the tiny "S" (Schrader position) will lock the nozzle onto your valve stem so no air escapes during the pumping. The pumping is actually quite fun and quite easy and the psi meter is an outstanding helpful feature of this pump; I think mine reads just a bit low to the actual (i.e. when the meter reads 50 psi, there's actually more like 55 psi in my bike tire, but maybe that's just my meter...anyhow, it's fairly close to being accurate).I am so relieved I bought this pump, and that it works well! The price is fair, and I'll write an update review should there be anything "new" that comes up with my lovely yellow pump.

Easy to operate. Works well. Great quality

This pump is OK, not amazing. Some bike pumps have gotten way overpriced, so this is modest price and puts air in tires. I find the valve lock device hard to use, but once engaged, it works. The gauge is down low and has smaller (for me) font, so therefore harder to read. I wish it had a lower top end of PSI and made the font and increments larger. Overall, it works as designed.

Works perfect and setting the air gauge to the maximum air your item can handle, or whatever pressure you choose, takes the guess work out of when to stop. With the gauge set it stops right at that set air pressure level.

My bikes have both Presta and Schrader valves. I like the convenience of having a pump that accommodates both. I also like having the pressure gauge right on the pump. The pump seems to be sturdy and pumps the tires up fairly quickly. Good value for the money.

Easy to useFast shippingNot expensiveSo far works greatI won’t be using it a lot, so I can’t attest to durability.

Glad I got this BV Bicycle Durable Bike Floor Pump. I've used it a few times now, and it works great. It is easy to attach the nozel, and feels stable while using. It also feels and looks like very good materials were used to make it. I'm confident this bike pump will last us many years.

Not a fan of electric pumps for bikes. This does the job well.
