I bought one of these little pumps on Friday before doing an overnight cycling challenge Saturday night. I had a puncture 8 miles in, and the cycling mechanic kindly changed my inner tube. He said he put about 80psi in and that I should use the track pump which would be available at the next water stop to top it up.
Well, the track pump was nowhere to be seen, so out came my little pump. It has a rubbery hose so no worries about breaking the valves. The aluminium-ended hose screws onto the valve and within a few easy pumps I had my tyre nice & hard again. A quick press of a little button releases air pressure in the hose and the pump was back on my bike. My pal who also had a puncture used it to top his tyre up.
The bracket is good, the pump does rattle a little but overall I'm well chuffed and will not be without this in future.
