Sports reviews of Topeak Mini G MasterBlaster Bike Pump with Gauge

Customer Review: An old design that works except for the gauge which failed on the two that I've owned. Switching valve types isn't good either.
Sport shop rating: 3 Stars

I've had two of these and the gauges failed on both of them. I took me a while to realize that the pump itself was actually fine, so if you have one of these or plan on buying one, don't be suprised when you have to buy and carry a pressure gauge separately. Other brands such as Blackburn make similar pumps with reliable gauges.

This is harder to pump than the Harpoon model I replace the second one with, and it gets very hot by comparison.

Switching from Presta to Schraeder on this pump involves unscrewing the gasket casing where you insert the valve stem, pulling out the rubber pieces inside, and turning them over. This can be very frustrating, and is clearly unnecessary given that other models--including the harpoon--work with either type of valve without having to make any adjustments or provide two valve inserts--one for presta, one for schraeder.

On the good side, it's reliable and durable, stands up to years of abuse without maintainence.

BOTTOM LINE: Choose a better model from Toppeak such as the Harpoon (which doesn't have a gauge on it) or get a Blackburn pump. This is a classic, reliable pump that would get five stars out of me a good seven years ago or so, but the design is out-of-date given current options.

Description of Topeak Mini G MasterBlaster Bike Pump with Gauge

Fold-down foot rest gives you floor pump leverage. Hose means you lower the risk of ripping the valve stem as you pump. "T" handle for maximum leverage. Dual head works for both Presta and Schrader valves.
