new CO2 hand pump v older Topeak Peakini

[John the Canuck]

Co2 pump from here
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/360619757421?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT at £7.99

compared to Topeak


-ve... the G5 has a stroke of 8.5cm whereas the Topeak is 16cm
-ve.... nowhere to hold whilst pumping whereas the Topeak is held by the barrel
-ve...... the G5 was extremely difficult to install on the tyre valve - sometimes very difficult to pump [maybe me.?]
+ve..... the controlled flow head was excellent


however . when snapped into the frame bracket, part of one clip broke off, [see pic] and a crack appeared in the remaining tab. I have emailed the supplier for a replacement

OVERALL...not my choice
but rather than return [at my cost], - for £7.99 I'll use the controlled flow head whilst on the road

thanks. I have 3 or 4 of these from Decathlon. The manual pump part is basic and the co2 head does not have a clamp or a click action control, but they work a treat and have a guage http://www.decathlon.co.uk/vision-air-ii-pumpcartridge-id_8208188.html

UPDATE
the seller replied that the frame mount has slightly different diameter snap-clips.. not evident at first glance
the pump barrel has to be withdrawn 2cm - then the frame clip snaps over the 2 diameters - see pic above

also new clip being posted FOC - so
