'VALUE FOR MONEY PUMP'
Strengths:
Doesn't take for ever to get pressure into tyres, light and the Bottle cage mount works well. I have used one of these about 4 years now and for 3 of those I had it on my frame where it got covered in mud and then washed along with my bike.
I like the sneaky little space in the t-handle. Basically you screw the end cap off and there's room for a couple of fast patches and a quick link.
Weaknesses:
The dust cover departed company with the pump ages ago.
Gave up the ghost last week after 4 years and ruined my ride! up until then the only problem I'd had was not being able to get it onto a short valve stem (when my mates Crank Brothers pump did....). In actual fact it has not given up the ghost - I have taken it apart and cleaned it out and it seems to be working again, although I'm only going to attach it to my second bike.
Overall:
Good pump for a reasonable price. However I am going over to a Crank Brothers pump with a gauge and a lifetime warranty. Generally you get what you pay for but this pump has served me very well for 4 hard years.

Crank Brothers Pedal Egg Beaters

'GENERALLY HAPPY.... BUT'
Strengths:
Easy to clip in and out of. Have yet to get them so clogged that I couldn't get into them (unlike my Shimano SPDs). Easy to grease with the adapter and I like the fact that you can overhall them yourself - cheaply - although I don't envisage doing that for some time.
Weaknesses:
I have a problem where my heels tend to turn in and clip my chainstays. I could adjust my SPDs to avoid this problem, which I can't do on my Eggbeater SLs.
If money was no object I'd like the top of the range triple Ti ones.... but they have a rider limit of 85kg..... that's fattist?!!
Overall:
I am happy with them but I would probably return to XTR SPDs for the summer.
