A dual head fits Presta and Schrader without an adapter to lose · review
A steel floor pump with a 3 inch mid-mount gauge, a hammer-style TwinHead DX5 and a long 360 degree hose, rated to 160 psi.
Our conclusion The pump to buy once.
The JoeBlow name has been around a long time, and the Sport III is the version most riders end up with.
160 psi or 11 bar, a 3 inch mid-mount analog gauge, a hammer-style TwinHead DX5 for Presta, Schrader and Dunlop valves, an extra-long 360 degree hose, a steel barrel, a hardened steel base, an oversized padded handle, ball and bladder needles, and a hose dock. It stands 27 inches and weighs 3.7 lb.
A mid-mount gauge sits closer to your eyes than a base gauge, and a steel base stays put at high pressure. The hammer head levers onto a valve instead of pushing, which matters on short Presta valves.
Compare the price with the BV. If you ride every day on narrow tires, the Topeak pays for itself in convenience. If you top up once a month on a hybrid, keep the money.

If you pump often, the larger gauge and the long hose are what you notice every day. For occasional use, the BV does the same job for less.
Topeak says the TwinHead DX5 fits Presta, Schrader and Dunlop valves.
