The perfect mini pump for those long rides,very light and small so easily fits in your luggage.Great value for money.With the self adjusting head for ease of use.More than enough puff to pump up tyres to a good pressure.And all for less than £15,what more do you want.

'Excellent Mini-Pump'

Strengths:
compact size
Smarthead feature
price
good for high pressures

Weaknesses:
Handle not the most comfortable

Overall:
A quality pump which is great to have when on long rides. The self-adjusting head makes use with all valves simpler. When pumping up a tube from flat, the handle can become uncomfortable due to the fairly hard plastic but this is only noticed when not wearing gloves. More than enough power to acheive high pressures.

'UNRELIABLE'

Strengths:
Smooth stroke that inflates well.
Nice looks.

Weaknesses:
Attached to frame using supplied bracket and fram has slightly scratched.
Went to use today on the trail ater fixing a puncture and would not work. Only used about 2 times previously.

Overall:
Liked the way it performed on the first couple of uses but left me stranded 8 miles from home when completely failed.

'DOES THE JOB - KINDA'

Strengths:
Small, double action, smarthead

Weaknesses:
Went a bit dicky!

Overall:
Had this pump for about a year now. Always worked well then one day only started pumping on one stroke.
Undid the top of the handle, extended the pump, screwed the top back on and jobs a good one - back in dual action mode. Wahey!!

'GOOD LITTLE PUMP'

Strengths:
been reliable so far, small and lightweight, can handle high pressure, automatically switches between presta and scrader valves

Weaknesses:
hardwork getting high pressures, no pressure gauge, takes a while to inflate an empty tube.

Overall:
worked well so far, but i think mini pumps have a short life because of the beating they take and because the seals etc are small, they are highly stressed.

'USELESS'

Strengths:
Small

Weaknesses:
It lets air out of the tube, it's hard to get on the valve, it fills up with crap when you are riding with it on the frame. It takes for ever to pump up an empty tube. My £3 10 year old pump works better than this.

Overall:
I sent it back to Wiggle and got a full refund after 8 months.

Don't buy one pleeeeeease.
