The most interesting feature to me of this thing is the PRESET pressure. I often wonder why my floor plump can't have an adjustable pressure relief valve that I can dial in to the pressure I want, and then just pump away till it pops open. Quick and accurate!
I am definitely in need of a new floor pump... something with a BIG dial and durable, easily sealing pump head...
I saw a Katusha mechanic at the worlds TT in Valkenburg using a handheld Bosch PAG 12v air compressor to top up wheels before the start. I don't think they sell it still (not that I've seen in the UK anyway) but I was able to get one on eBay for £5. Awesome for topping up tyres when your bike is stored off the floor and easily as quick as a good track pump.
for traveling, and not wanting a full size floor pump in tow - TOPEAK ROAD MORPH G PUMP W/GAUGE
also great for commuting and not minding a frame pump on the bike or in your bag.
Good video, Essentially saved a lot of us a few quid.
I am old school. Using my reliable stand pump for more than 20 years. No problem.
I've got one of another brand, which can pump 4 100psi 23c tube with single full charge. For me, it's useful when I travel to another country by plane for cycling, as large pump is not always feasible for putting in the bike case. Of course as others mentioned in comments, CO2 is another good way to solve the problem.
I'm imagining the scenario now.. someone get's a flat. You pull that out of the back pocket, and everyone stands around for 2 minutes watching it intently while it pumps up a tyre. Hilarious :)
Yep... it's a while. I'd likely come out with "Bugger it, I'm riding the rim home!"
The pressure behind a presta valve keeps it shut so the air you hear is from the pump hose not from the tube, am I missing something?
just for anyone whos interested, its U11 branded in China and sell for about 400RMB(which is 80AUD~ish) on Taobao
one thing to note, even small portable car tire air compressors that plug into a 12v car outlet are only supposed to run for a short time before needing to cool down. slime makes one and its run time i think is a reported 8 minute max. gotta remember these are small air compressors working hard to deliver high pressures in this case. being oil free and tiny means they only have a small portion of time before they get to hot to effectively work. i bet if you waited a bit and then tried it again youd get to 100 on both tires. that being said if you flat both tires who wants to wait say 36 minutes between pumping it up and waiting for it to cool down before pumping it up again? not me!
ok I think that what we may be missing is a air pump, but that can be somehow connected to the gear system, so we just turn the bike upside down and start pedaling.... the pedaling should provide enough torque to inflate any tire... am I wrong and there is a dice as I have described??
Don't really see what the point is... A floor pump could get you there in 20 seconds.
A floor pump doesn't easily stick in the back pocket. Although a good frame pump does.
Shane Miller Or one could use one of those nifty CO2 cartridges that are allegedly all the rage these days.
Shane Miller you will need a new jersey if you stick that in your back pocket. I'm not seeing the use case either. Either you have a track pump at home, C02 or hand pump if you want portability
The only coolness factor in those is freezing fingers! ;)
when i travel i sometimes go with a bike for a few weeks or more and cutting corners on the weight of pumps would be a big plus (and i hate the hassle of using my little hand held that fits in my back pocket).
wow, thought it would allow for more tires to be filled, might as well just carry 2 (or more) canisters of C02, would be quicker, lighter, and cheaper.
Good review Shane and nice to know it's out there but yes, kind of struggling to understand the "why"? Cheers
Just curious, what pressure do you normally run on the road? (clinchers) Also, are you a 23 or 25mm guy?
Question, are you running higher pressure in the tub because the tire is narrower ? Or some other reason for preferring that pressure in the tubular?
u can get an air compressor that runs off the power plug in you car. does ok pumping car and bike tires. could prolly tear that pump apart and repurpose the batteries into power packs to charge your other devices.
The tubular tyre doesn't have a screw valve, so it takes two of you to pump it up using a track pump?
i agree - this thing is a waste of time and space! i cant think of a situation where it would replace a track pump or CO2.
on another note, i always thought the air leakage that you hear when taking the hose off after pumping is from the pressure in the hose, not coming out of the tyre?
I thought the same about the hose pressure
That'd be on the money, yep. Unless I clutz it up and knock the presta valve like I seem to do with the floor pump.
Good for mtbing when u want to put 20/40 psi into a tire. would consider taking 1 on a long mtb tours
And a bit heavy to throw in the rear jersey pocket instead of a mini pump, I just cant see the point of them tbh Shane.
Thanks for the review. I will buy this for my montain bike!
Well I want to buy it but the site you puted in the description has no item, & I couldn't even find it, it maybe sold out
Hi Shane, what you are going to read has nothing to do with the video you uploaded but I was wondering...
since I don't have much time for riding and when I have I do it using Zwift just after having dinner, I know that it's not convenient but do you think my body will suffer doing it in the long run?
Thanks
That's one for a coach.... but more riding is good! :)
We ride fat tires around here in very remote locations (no cell signals, 100k from home, etc...), mini/frame pumps make us look like Popeye with over 1000 pump strokes needed to fill a flat fat tire. Would this product work, not over heat, on a fat tire where 15psi is needed to get back to the car?
last i checked, when you unscrew the pump from the valve, the air being released is from the pump not the bike
That theory holds air, but in practice some pumps will deflate the whole thing as they've pressed the tip down. Your milage may vary.
Pretty wanky gizmo maybe for inflating footballs, you know the pointy kind or soccor balls. Not worth the lost gas mileage hauling it around in your car. Maybe you could fit it into an aero seat post for adjusting tire pressure on the go? Might be a tight fit with that motor already taking up space and all. But always fun teching out with you!
.
120psi? old school!!!
Since the tires are bigger on mountain bikes won't the machine work just as hard to pump them up? Not a 100% sure and is just my opinion.
Higher volume, lower pressure. So no in fact.
So doesn't it still pump just as much air?
I mean more air. So it has to work longer. Therefore the batteries will die just as quick.
Either way it is just not up to pumping yourself In emergencies
theyd take a larger volume of air, however mtb tires typically take significantly less psi so perhaps its wouldnt be much more.
I need to pick one of those up !
start to inflate yesterday and finish today 12 pm !
Hi There thanks for your nice video.
Please I need your help and advise I like to buy fully electric bike to use going and coming from work around 40 KM.
But I do not have any experience about bikes so please suggest me a good bike considering that the road where I live in Belgium is not always flat some times goes up and down, also my weight is 110KG , what I like is the double tire and I saw also a bike which has air pump installed below the seat for emergency.
Also I am interested of those type of bike which can be folded to but it in train and so on.
My budget is around+/- 1000 /1200euro
Thanks a lot
You're best visiting a local bike shop where they can help you in person.
And people reckon 300grams, me carrying a tubular is a big deal. half a kilo (almost) is my whole saddle bag with tools and tubular. as said previously, i can't see any advantage over a mini pump or co2 cannister
Had something like that for pumping school sports balls, struggled to do 2 or 3, was quicker with hand pump!
Wow ... £54 - £56 ! that's a gold plated top notch compact hand pump that'll do a super job. exuberance for a road cyclist me thinks. Anyway.. we're all trying to get fitter by riding. better to get those arm muscles pumping for a bit. after all they're pretty much idle when we're riding ;)
My arms swing widely in traffic a lot of the time. Sometimes waving, usually with finger signals.
Hah .... but i guess you knew i was speaking in a general/metaphorical way ;)
What does Von think of all the gizmos you pick up?
There's no guessing what the response usually is! :)
its strange how we use PSI which is imperial in countries where we are metric. i wonder if there are other measurementsfor which metric countries use imperial.
Hasnain Iqbal ksm is kilogram per square meter
Not enough power in this design, designing one myself.
Edit: It just doesn't have enough rpm to get it up there and you can hear it.
Does it still work? I want one but can´t seem to find one.
does it work while charging?
Careful with leaving these in the car in the heat.
Do we call you DC Rainmaker now? Llama Maker? @Shane Miller
No. Shane or Lama is fine.
Awww you spoil all the fun :-P
test unit to see how many inflation cycles until the internal piston seizes.
That's a request to spend hours to break something? I like the idea. The time it'll take to find out will cost me more than the unit itself, so the viability of this doesn't float.
It would take 5 hours to inflate an mtb tire to 30 psi, probably the battery would die much earlier.... Looks like waste of money to me....
Don't forget MTB tires take greater volume.
You wouldn't throw one of these in the boot of the car over a track pump surely?
You're too polite, Lama. It's impractical, thus useless.
I pretty much come to that conclusion for pure roadies. Yep.
Yer, but not enough mongrel. A mongrel woulda chlorine 'n' brake fluided it.
probably cheaper to pay your buddy to follow you in a car with a track pump a couple of times.....😁
hahaha! I like it. I'll get SLane to follow me this weekend.
For hipsters who think cycling is a statement instead of a sport/hobby
Really? Hipsters... and electronic pumps. Not two items I'd ever put together... but hey... if that's what comes to mind.
I usually throw in my compact foot pump in my backpack...
great video showing something definitely worth avoiding.
100 psi... I thought Conti GP4000S needed 110-120 PSI, not? Sorry, do me a Lezyne and/or some CO2 cartridges.
Correct pressure isn't 'maximal inflation' printed on the side of the tyre. You need to take into account front/back, rider weight, road surface, and dry/wet.
well if your normal riding pressure is say 100, and that piece of crap only gets you to 86.5 you increase your risk for pinch flats.
well that is unnecessary. Floor pump, co2 cartiger/minipump - all u need. nice packaging though
Totally worth it for that plastic peel off the front of the unit. So fresh and shiny!
The Fumpa is quite a bit more powerful. I wager, even the Fumpa Nano, the smallest and lightest electric inflator, is more powerful than this one.
☝
mmm. yep as below..
Yes you can, but why? This aint usefull at home and surely not on the road; not putting half a kilo in my backpocket!
I wanted to find out how good they were.... and I've answered that for everyone... (and saved them the purchase!) :)
you just saved me some money there cheers Shane
haha you're Chinese is perfect!
Great product but Fumpa is still better
I'd much rather take some CO2 canisters, at least you don't have to dick around charging something up...and let's be honest, what practical real world application does this have?
If it was lighter and solar powered.... it'd be awesome! :)
That noise does not fit the geek looking of this 'device'
The smart pump is a waste of time. A CO2 inflator and you're good to go in
till you screw something u chrissie wellington style and youre at the sside of the road fucked.
waste of time,bulky massive unit.co2 all the way
Terrible hahaha i'd rather bring 2 or even 3 CO2 cartridges
This product is pointless realy
