A dual head fits Presta and Schrader without an adapter to lose · review
A low-cost floor pump with an automatically reversible head for Presta and Schrader valves and a 160 psi maximum, available in 17 and 24 inch heights.
Our conclusion The sensible first pump: cheap, widely owned, and enough for any tire.
A floor pump is the most useful bike tool for the money, and this BV is the common entry point on Amazon.com, with more than 30,000 ratings.
160 psi, a head that handles Presta and Schrader, an ergonomic handle and two heights, 17 and 24 inches. The ASIN we read lists a height of 16.25 inches and a weight of 16 oz.
A taller barrel moves more air per stroke and is easier on the back. The small version packs away better, and that matters in an apartment. Riders with high-pressure road tires will prefer the tall one, because the last 20 psi takes the most effort.
Pick the version with care in the size selector. Read the gauge against a second gauge the first time you use it, as budget gauges are often a little off. For a stronger pump with a larger gauge, see the Topeak JoeBlow Sport III on this shelf.
