Crank Brothers Power Pump Alloy

great pump

crankbrothers products are typically great, and this pump is no exception. it comes with a nice cover that allows for it to be strapped to the bike--i have mine strapped to the seat post. i refuse to walk my bike out of the deep with a flat tire.

Pros: two different setting: high volume or high pressure, lightweight, durable

Cons: none

Nice to have both valves in one pump. The pressure gauge is useful, although it really doesn't improve the challenge of getting 100lb+ into a tire after a change. Not as easy as a cartridge, but simple and effective.

Not the most compact, and I'm beginning to lean toward pumps with flex attachments, if pump is used carelessly, the action can tear off a valve.

Pros: Dual function, inexpensive

Cons: Not the most compact, therefore more of a touring, commuting or mtbk pump.

I was not a fan of this pump. the connector valves were of a poor design, and paled in comparison to my Topeak Peak with regard to ease of use and efficiency

Pros: looks cool, aluminum body

Cons: terrible valve design

Nice little pump

This pump is pretty compact. The dual valve head works better than pumps that only use one head for presta and schrader valves. Handy gauge.

Pros: Pressure gauge eliminates guessing. Durable metal construction. Small.

Cons: None!

Pretty easy to get a tire to 40psi in the high volume setting but once you switch to high pressure it will take all day to get to 100psi. the gauge is a nice touch so you sont have to guess what psi your at.

Very compact and easy to use...great for MTB but may take some work to get high pressure for road use even with the high pressure setting but you will get there

Pros: gauge and design are nice

Cons: the label at the bottom of the pump will peel off easily and is made of cheap foam...very difficult to pump when trying to get high pressure
