Bike Bicycle Pump
Bicycle Pump Design Has Changed?

It's been a while since I had a bike. I notice that the design of the valve clamp on the bicycle pump has changed. You pull up to clamp, and press down to release, but it used to be the other way around. What's the practical reason for this change?

It probably started with the portable pumps, which are stored (or mounted on the bike) with the clamp down against the pump in order to be placed out of the way. It then makes sense to make this down position the open position. I also find that having the clamp up during use allows you to get a much better grip on the pump head and valve stem - allows you to keep the seal, pump faster/harder and avoid damaging the valve stem. Incidentally, there are still a few floor pumps that are unchanged from the old days.

Crank Brothers Power Ultra Bicycle Pump (Black)
from $ 18.40
 
CrankBrothers Power Pump Ultra Black is just like the Pro, but without the gauge. If you're adept at reading tire pressure by feel, you'll save yourself two grams over the Pro. The Ultra still has the small sleek profile that fits into your jersey pocket but has the power of a pump twice it's size. Thanks to the high volume / high pressure switch, you'll minimize the time spent pumping. This pump will get your tires up to a claimed 115 psi, and has a sturdy, aluminum barrel and a lightweight resin head. The Ultra pump features the Dual-Piston design for improved efficiency. Specs: Weight - 118 grams; Length - 6.9 inches; Material - 6061-T6 aluminum barrels; Pressure - 115 psi (8 bar); Air Switch - high volume/high pressure; Mounting Bracket - not included; Patch Kit - not included.

Nashbar L'Orange Floor Pump
USD 39.99
 
Nashbar L'Orange Floor Pump. Bicycling Magazine reviewed the Nashbar L'Orange Floor Pump in the October 2008 issue. Here is an excerpt of Matt Phillip's review: Although many premium-priced pumps we test fail within a surprisingly short time, we occasionally find a diamond like Nashbar's L'Orange. Its tall, 28-inch barrel moves a lot of air per stroke and the 38-inch hose easily reaches to a bike in a workstand. The top-mounted gauge is simple to read, and the pump head automatically adapts to Presta or Schrader valves. A pressure-release valve lets you bleed off air if you overinflate. Nashbar recently updated the floor pump with a more stable three-point base and a better hose clip for storage. The barrel is now alloy... and the base is cast aluminum.

Bicycle tires and tubes require a fixed pressure per square inch (PSI) to function safely and at best performance. Home bicycle pumps allow riders to maintain this conveniently without costly or lengthy trips to the nearest service station. When mounted on a bicycle or stored in a glove compartment fear of being stranded due to low pressure becomes a thing of the past. PTI Sports products are designed with safety as the first and foremost concern and are constructed of high quality parts and materials to prevent degradation over time.
