Customer Review: Does't fit well
Sport shop rating: 3 Stars
I just wanted a simple pump to fill my kids tires, etc. I tried the Bell brand,from walmart, which was garbage, made of plastic and just doesn't pump very long before it stops fitting well. I thought I would buy a nicer pump, and this was well reviewed, but whe I got it I found that the opening for thing fits so tightly around the valve I can't get it on most of the standard kids tires without a lot of muscle. My kids can't get it to work. Maybe its too fancy for a simple person like me, and if you have some high end bikes maybe it is great, but I just wanted a simple reliable pump, and still out of luck. That being said, I don't know the difference between a 'Presta' and 'Schrader' valve, so maybe its just me. All I know it doesn't fit a standard bike valve without a lot of hassle.Customer Review: decent for emergency!

This mini bike pump is hard to pump air at 120 psi, it requires a lot of effort, but still works... I didn't like where the gauge was placed, it should of been placed some where better for better viewing. but It is easy to pump at lower pressure such as 45 psi and etc.
For emergency, if you have a flat tire and you are stuck, you don't have to pump it all the way to 120 psi, but around 60 psi will get you going. Overall this is great pump for mountain bikes and other low pressure tires, but for road bikes it's not that great but it's decent for emergency! At home i have the regular hand pump, and use this bike pump as a gauge.
Customer Review: Decent Pump

I purchased this pump to attach to my bike for emergencies on long rides, which I was able to do with no problems using the included clip. It takes a LOT of muscle to get it up to the 120 PSI required for my road bike, but bikes that require lower pressures aren't that difficult, and it's better than nothing if you're stranded somewhere with a flat. My only complaint is that it is a little tricky getting the pump attached to a valve stem without losing any air.Customer Review: eh...

PROS:
-it worked well when I tested it right after buying.
CONS:
-got a flat doing a nasty downhill. swapped the tube, and went to pump up the tire. That is when I found out that the gray screw on adapter piece had rattled off the pump while attached to my bike frame. I recommend taping it on or try another pump.
Other than the cap issue....its a good pump
Customer Review: Not for all bikes

This pump is only useful if your wheels do not have a lot of spokes. The lever that locks the pump in place on the air intake valve will want to push the spokes out of the way when you flip it up. The spokes will get in the way when you want to flip the lever down.
