It's called a presta valve. Lots of newer bike pumps fit both common valve types (presta/schrader - which is what you're used to seeing). Check out the 'Product Features' on this pump

u/nexusheli · 6 pointsr/Homebrewing

Just an FYI; the "keg charger" is no different than a CO2 bicycle inflator, and you can have a controllable inflator and a box of a dozen cartridges for about the same price as Monster Brew is charging.

u/Crabdude6 · 6 pointsr/cycling

I’ve been using this pump for the last 3 years and it hasnt failed yet. Previously my roommate had a cheapo one that lasted all of 3 months before it fell apart.

Topeak Floor Pump

Edit: fixed typo

u/aggieotis · 4 pointsr/bicycling

I would recommend trying one out in a store. I got a Topeak JoeBlow Max based on Amazon reviews; and while I have no problems with it, it turns out my lady can't pump up past about 85psi without hopping up onto the handles of the pump.

Personally my favorite pump I've used is the Specialized Airtool Comp Floor Pump.

Personally I would stay away from Lezyne pumps as they are excellent at pulling out your valve cores...making all the pumping you did 100% worthless.

u/ROTTEN_CUNT_BUBBLES · 3 pointsr/houston

I have a heavy duty foot bicycle pump. I've used it indiscriminately for bicycles, motorcycles and cars for years. Highly recommend.

u/Judd9mm · 3 pointsr/motorcycles

$20 on Amazon with great reviews:

Pro Bike Tool Mini Bike Pump with Stabilizing Foot Peg, Secure Presta and Schrader Valve Connection, Silver without Gauge https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01BVOUI32/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_sKAfzbZ94776J

u/reivyn124 · 3 pointsr/PlantedTank

From the looks of it, you're using the Fluval co2 20g kit right? If so, the regulator will definitely fit on 16g threaded cartridges like these (you can find cheaper ones with a little more searching). Never had any issues with the co2 as far as its quality goes.

u/toph_dogg06 · 3 pointsr/bicycling

All you need is a small nozzle like this

I'm assuming your on a road bike in which case you just empty the entire cartridge and it should bring you close to 100psi.

The cold won't affect the pressure during your ride but the CO2 won't last more than a day so be sure to check before your next ride.

u/802bikeguy_com · 3 pointsr/MTB

If you're talking about the lezyne micro floor drive, yes, it's awesome and worth the $.

u/ThatGuyinHouston · 3 pointsr/bicycling

The 1st pump I bought at my LBS was really problematic... it was hard to connect to the valve stem.


I talked to a buddy with a lot more biking experience and he recommended the Lezyne Steel Floor Drive Pump (odd name, right?) which I immediately ordered.

I've been using mine since February of 2015 and it's really a great pump. Easily screws onto my Presta stems, gets me up to full pressure quickly, and just works great every time. It'll work on Shrader, too, you just unscrew the end piece and turn it around.

u/[deleted] · 3 pointsr/bicycling

What kind of saddle does your mom's old bike have on it? If it is one of those massive gel saddles, get rid of that thing and get a harder seat asap. I know it is counter-intuitive, but harder saddles are actually more comfortable than those big gel seats when the ride lasts longer than a few minutes(the gel seats tend to let you sink in to where you are sitting on your perineum instead of your tailbones which gets really uncomfortable fast). You will also want to change the saddle out if you are a male, as seats are designed differently for men and women.

Riding with traffic is a bit scary at first, but you soon get used to it. Learn your local laws about a cyclists rights on the road, as they vary from place to place. One thing you need to learn as a cyclist on the road is to realize that you need to control the situation as best you can. Do this by taking the whole lane when you need to, and remember, ALWAYS TAKE THE WHOLE LANE WHEN CROSSING THROUGH INTERSECTIONS WITHOUT A DEDICATED BIKE LANE. This prevents some cager from cutting you off into a ditch/car/sidewalk/pole etc. Another good way to control the situation I've found is to stare people down who are planning to turn in front of you. Somehow forcing that eye contact lets them know not to pull out in front of you. The biggest thing to worry about is complacency, if you get complacent, you might just end up dead.

As for commuting, I commute to school(3.3 miles), and I use a book bag. But by the time I get there I'm normally sweaty, and the area of my back under my book bag is really sweaty, so if that is a problem for you, you might want to look into getting a rack and/or panniers to put your bag on while you ride.

Maintenance is pretty easy on most bikes, and you shouldn't have to do much in the ways of maintenance. They most you will really have to do is occasionally wiping off your chain and re-oiling it, especially after it gets wet, and the occasional brake wire tension adjustment. You should check your tires before every ride, and by this I just mean squeezing them to make sure they are still pumped up, no need to check the pressure or anything. For all your maintenance needs, you can consult Sheldon Brown, that site has just about everything you will ever need to know about bikes on it.

On the subject of tires, if you are going to commute you must learn how to patch a tube(consult Sheldon Brown to learn how), and keep the supplies necessary to do that with you(not as hard as it sounds), unless you want to be walking your bike home after a flat. The things required to fix a punctured tube are all cheap, you just need a few tire levers, a patch kit, and some sort of pump. I recommend a full-sized frame pump over the other smaller hand pumps, as the frame pumps can achieve much higher PSI ratings, which is essential for road bikes.

p.s. Sorry for the long post

u/bradbull15 · 3 pointsr/FixedGearBicycle

Got a pinch flat today because I was lazy and didn't check the air in my tires before my ride... had to be picked up as I didn't have any of my tools with me. That won't happen again so was looking into a CO2 pump because the hand pump I have is a pain the ass. Anybody have any experience with something like this http://www.amazon.com/dp/B017KU1DHQ?psc=1 or something like it? Recommendations appreciated. Thanks!

u/jsdavis · 3 pointsr/bicycling

It is either a Lezyne (sold with different branding for UK) or copy of a Lezyne. Lezyne is usually nice stuff, though expensive. If it's a copy of Lezyne, dunno.

Several of my friends and I have this pump: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003RR8GF4/

u/takeshita_kenji · 2 pointsr/bikecommuting

The ring lock is an AXA Defender. It's not easy to get them in the US nowadays, unfortunately.

This is what I got. One of the valve heads fits perfectly into my Presta frame pump's port.

u/sparklekitteh · 2 pointsr/bicycling

If you have a schrader-only pump (like this) then you'll need a presta adapter.

You can snag them at the LBS for a buck; I keep one in my patch kit, one in my saddlebag, two on the workbench at home. They do tend to go missing, stupid bike gremlins...

u/bluster_cretin · 2 pointsr/bikewrench

Fwiw, I have had zero issues inflating to 100 psi with this thing: https://www.amazon.com/Schwinn-Bicycle-Floor-built-pressure/dp/B00F2DG3VU/

u/dalesd · 2 pointsr/bicycling

I have the Turbo Morph. Same pump but it comes with a gauge for $5 more. I only have it around in case I flat while out on a ride. That's happened once in ~7000 miles.

Mostly I use my large floor pump, to top off the tires before rides. [Serfas TCPG Bicycle Floor Pump] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001MK3GFS/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc=1) $30.

You need a mini pump in case you flat, but it can't compare to the ease of use of a floor pump.

u/gl21133 · 2 pointsr/bikewrench

https://smile.amazon.com/Schwinn-Bicycle-Floor-built-pressure/dp/B00F2DG3VU

I have two of these, they're great. Work with presta (what you have) or schrader (what most cars have) and don't cost an arm and a leg. Alternatively I have a Spin Doctor Essential at work, but it was $5 at goodwill.

u/RuthLessPirate · 2 pointsr/AskEngineers

Would a bike tire inflator work?

Portland Design Works Shiny Object CO2 Inflator with 16G Cartridge https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002YEFY8I/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_bi4Bub137RNAT

u/Scootsalot · 2 pointsr/bicycling

I have an Innovations Ultraflate Plus. I like it because you can use 12 or 16 gram cartridges and both threaded and non-threaded. Buy the CO2 carts from Walmart or someplace similar where they sell BB guns (much cheaper than a bike shop)

u/bikeiag · 2 pointsr/bicycling

this is the one I have, when I bought it from amazon it had like 4.5 stars, but now it has 3.5 stars, not sure what happened there. I'll probably just get a bontrager pump, I hear they are very good.

https://www.amazon.com/Topeak-Blow-TJB-M2-Floor-Pump/dp/B008QVMP58/ref=sr_1_fkmrnull_1?keywords=topeak+blow+job&qid=1555782401&s=gateway&sr=8-1-fkmrnull

u/dlrose · 2 pointsr/brighton

pump wise, I've got basically this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Lezyne-High-Volume-Mini-Foot-Pump/dp/B005UZP2ZS just so you know what I'm talking about. After tearing the stem on my tube 3 times inflating it with a more normal hand held pump I said fuck it, and went looking for something like this which is just a mini floor pump. Good and stable and inflates quickly.


for a multi-tool, you want something that has at the bare minimum tyre levers and a number of hex key sizes (to fit brakes, handlebars adjustment, seat adjustment...). Needle nose pliers can also come in useful.

u/LeeeroyDankins · 2 pointsr/MTB
  1. My 24th birthday is tomorrow and I'd love a Bell Super 3R Mips Large in Red/Marsala/Black to match my beloved 2016 Giant Trance 2.

  2. I have the Camelbak MULE, but are the Osprey Raptor packs that much better? I like the compartment configuration of the Osprey as well as the ventilation on the back. You guys like your Ospreys or sware by your Camelbaks?

  3. Yet again, my previous L pair of Fox Dirtpaw gloves were a bit snug and the finger threads stitching was coming undone after a season of riding. I opted for the XL on the newest design, fits my fingers much better, and hugs around my wrist comfortably. IMHO, Fox always under sizes their stuff.

  4. Replaced my plastic co2 inflator for this and I hope I don't have to use it anytime soon, but on my last ride that plastic one was the least user-friendly POS ever. I trust this metal one with actual thread screws to be much more reliable.
u/noburdennyc · 2 pointsr/cycling

I would get this pump https://www.amazon.com/Topeak-Turbo-Morph-Bike-Gauge/dp/B000FIE4PO


it's got a gauge and a little flip out foot so you won't get as tired pumping up a tire. Cyclists aren't known for their upper body strength.

u/AimForTheAce · 2 pointsr/bikecommuting

Pretty good - Nashbar Earl Grey.

Expensive and okay - [Lazyne floor pump](https://www.rei.com/product/100088/lezyne-steel-floor-drive-pump?CAWELAID=120217890001893080&CAGPSPN=pla&CAAGID=15877513840&CATCI=pla-183695793640&cm_mmc=PLA_Google|404_8961|1000880001|none|b35b4657-fbfe-4d84-87a9-4f011ca9df2c|pla-183695793640&lsft=cm_mmc:PLA_Google_LIA|404_8961|1000880001|none|b35b4657-fbfe-4d84-87a9-4f011ca9df2c|pla-183695793640&gclid=Cj0KEQiAsf_BBRDMpoOHw4aSq4QBEiQAPm7DL5gwoFKy3f3EQg-sHikQlFSd2a1SQoR2nPOloZ0Ph7waAm3F8P8HAQ
). I'm surprised how "meh" the head is, esp. pumping up to higher pressure. I often use the presta valve adapter when I use this one. I got one from a local REI when they are having a sale.

Moderate priced and okay. Pedro's Domestique . This one seems to be designed to pump up fast for lower PSI. Once you get to 100PSI or so, pushing becomes pretty hard. I bought off of craigslist for $10. The price was right.

This one takes cake for me. Ryobi Inflator with SKS presta adapter. Fast, easy to use, and works great. You need battery and charger. If you wish one for xmas, this is it.

I also have an old Zefal which I keep in office's bike parking. It's decent but not sold anymore.




u/Imayhavereadit · 2 pointsr/bikewrench

You mean something like this? That's an adapter that you can leave clamped in a Schrader air chuck that pushes right onto a Presta valve like a dedicated Presta chuck head.

u/p4lm3r · 2 pointsr/bikewrench

The Pedro's Domestique is $20 on Amazon. I really only have experience with their Prestige and Super Prestige, but we get a lot of life out of their pumps.

u/mike413 · 2 pointsr/bicycling

I got one of these and it's been my all-time favorite pump.

However, I've only owned 2-3 pumps and I didn't go looking for the best pump in the world.
However, I love the features, and I've had zero problems with it.

It has a pressure gauge at the top, where I can read it. The hose starts at the gauge, and
hangs down and loops back up, and there's a hole to insert the chuck into when you're done.

It has a clip for the handle. When the handle is clipped, you can lift or hang the pump by
the handle without it sagging down.

I've never loved quick release chucks, but this one works fine because it fits on any size
valve without changing adapters or double-sided crap.

The chuck is AWESOME on my unthreaded presta valve. (why aren't all valves designed like that?)

I don't like the chuck as much on threaded tire valves, it seems like they will degrade the
rubber over time.

u/notnicholas · 2 pointsr/CyclingMSP

Good start: After a few versions over the last few years, here's my current "Don't leave home without it" packing list:

  • spare tube in my back pocket (I roll it up nicely and put it in an old cut-off elastic part of a sock)

  • one or two GU gels (tucked into the sock with the tube at all times); more in my other pockets on longer rides...but that's another thread.

    In seat bag:

  • patch kit (I like the thinner Park Tool patches best) with 10 self-adhesive patches and 1 piece of small sandpaper

  • 2 tire levers (again, the blue Park Tool)

  • Multi-tool that has + and - screwdrivers, a couple spoke wrenches, the basic allen wrench sizes, a small knife blade (has come in handy a couple times)

  • a Presta valve adapter in case I need to stop for air at a gas station (I use presta valved tubes)

  • small hand held CO2 airpump

  • 1 or 2 extra CO2 cartridges

  • a very small rag (old t-shirt sleeve) that I use to bundle up the small things and on colder days it can help to squeeze the tire off the rim when changing a flat on the side of the road...and it's just nice to have a small rag to wipe off grease or something after a repair too.

  • Tuck a $20 and two $1 bills (pop machines don't take $20's in a pinch ;-) )

  • a small laminated card with my name, cell and emergency contact info


    All of that fits into THIS seatbag.


    EDIT: bullet formatting and added a couple small things after actually checking my bag because I forgot a few things.
u/Eblumen · 2 pointsr/NC700X

Here's the one I got. I don't know that I'd want to have to fill my tires from 0, but for adding 10 or 15 psi after some light off-roading it's totally manageable. Remember that bicycle tires go up to like 110psi, so they have no problem with getting a tire to 42psi. It just takes a little time.

u/BattleHall · 2 pointsr/todayilearned

Under $25 bucks: This + this

u/1000_Lemmings · 2 pointsr/FixedGearBicycle

OP: Respect to /Odzmanouk, but I get 130 PSI w/ no problem (last 20 can take quite a few strokes) with a cheap mini floor pump (< $20 on Amazon) that's frame mountable: BV 11" High Pressure Micro Floor Pump, In-line Gauge, 140 psi. Don't trust gauges on pumps: When this gauge reads 130 PSI, the tire pressure is actually 120.

u/motor0n · 2 pointsr/FixedGearBicycle

I mean, anything with a gauge and ideally both schraeder and presta valves works. I have a pedro's pump which has shockingly bad amazon reviews as mine is 3 years old of ~daily use and is fine, but who knows.

Even if you're not planning on night rides, you should have lights for dusk/rain/etc. Better to have them and say 'oh yeah i'll go do ride where I might be out late' than be stuck out late and riding without lights. I actually think they are more important than a helmet, but whatever.

The lock is your call - security is important, and as long as you lock smart nobody's gonna bust that thing for your bike, so more power to you.

u/areunot_entertained · 2 pointsr/MTB

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005UZP2ZS/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_c_api_zarGzbBMMJNBR

Micro portable floor pump. I can seat a bead with this pump with a spare inner tube on my fatbike. Worth every penny.

u/Neutral_Meat · 1 pointr/motorcycles

I have https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000RYBGAC/

and the suggested CO2 carts. You can get them for a dollar apiece in larger lots. I think just one charger will get a tire from almost flat to useable, but it would take two or three to fill it up all the way.

Another option is https://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Innovations-G2628-Ultraflate-Inflator/dp/B002AGI1QW/

Its a little larger, but it's slightly cheaper and you can fill your tires with whipits in a pinch

u/dennis · 1 pointr/bikewrench

Yah.. which Topeak pump do you have? I've been using my Topeak Pro for years now, and I love it.. The one time it stopped working, all I had to do was screw down the top part that had gotten loose.

u/SourMolar · 1 pointr/MTB

Alternatively, I just bought this and love it!

u/Boxes_Full_O_Pepe · 1 pointr/HumansBeingBros

I highly recommend getting a couple of [patch kits like this] (https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B075BLGL43/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and keep one with you whenever you go biking. Also get a mini-pump like this if you don't already have one.

No reason to go to all the way to the bike shop when you can patch it yourself in ~15 minutes, and you never know when you'll get stuck in a situation where you won't be able to get a ride.

u/ravy · 1 pointr/bicycling

I totally agree with the customer service comment. I bought a pump last week, and it broke on the second tire I was pumping up. Filled out a return online, got instant credit back, ordered a different brand and had a brand new pump on my door step the next day. By the way, this pump was terrible.

u/EFlop · 1 pointr/PlantedTank

This so far is the best review I can find.

I currently own a 30" 24/7 on a 20g long. It's an amazing light but highly recommend doing co2 if you want to use 24/7 mode. For a 10g you could probably get away with Fluvals 20g co2 kit for $25 on amazon. Also that co2 kit does work with regular 16g co2 threaded cartridges like these.

u/Smaskifa · 1 pointr/cycling

I use this floor pump at home, but carry CO2, a spare tube and patches on my bike. I also have a Lezyne floor pump, but I prefer the Schwinn. The screw on attachment on the Lezyne is more annoying to deal with than the lever activated connection on the Schwinn. Plus, with Presta tubes with removable cores, the Lezyne sometimes ends up unscrewing the core when trying to disconnect the pump. I've used Loctite on them, but it still happens. No issues like that with the Schwinn. Also, the Lezyne's Schrader valve connection simply won't work on my Airzound for some reason. Schwinn works fine.

u/delithug · 1 pointr/cycling

I have this: http://amzn.com/B0018CX1E6

It won't get up to 100 psi but it has gotten me home a couple of times.

u/baconeater75 · 1 pointr/Dualsport

I carry one of these hand pumps. They work awesome and are very well made.

Mini Floor Bike Pump, Super Fast Tire Inflation, Secure Presta and Schrader Valve Connection. High Pressure Bicycle Pump with Stabilizing Foot Peg for Road, Mountain, Touring, Hybrid and Fat Tires https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01BVOUI32/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_ftKhDbW6M137D

u/ChristophColombo · 1 pointr/MTB

The plastic strip should stretch enough to pull off. Slide a screwdriver under it at the valve hole to get started. If it won't budge, just cut it.

For air compressor use, I like this adapter. It's a little more robust than the screw-on aluminum adapters and works better. The screw-on adapters are nice to have for emergencies though (like trying to fill up a tire at the gas station).

There are similar systems to the blow gun for setting up tires - a couple companies make pumps with attached air chambers that can be filled up to 100+ psi, then released with a lever to seat a tire. Specialized makes just a canister that does the same using a separate pump, and you can make your own out of some hardware store parts and old soda bottles too. A compressor essentially serves the same purpose though.

u/Central_Incisor · 1 pointr/BuyItForLife

Topeak Joe Blow Sport II Floor Pump

This one has lasted well for me, gets up to road bike pressures, and comes with attachments for balls and mattresses.

The Lezyne Steel Floor Drive Pump might be more of what you are looking for.

u/gatowman · 1 pointr/klr650

Not to hijack your thread OP, but what would people think of something like this? The whole kit would weigh around the same with 6 cartridges but may be a bit more compact than an electric pump? The downfall I can see is that you can't run it indefinitely like an electric pump so therefore you're very limited on how much you can use.

u/skucera · 1 pointr/secretsanta

Something like this. Include a few replacement cartridges.

It's really quick (compared to a hand pump that you'd carry on a ride), but you have to use a new cartridge for each flat. It's the kind of item most reasonable people won't buy, because you'd just spend the 15 minutes to pump up your tire for free. BUT, if you're riding with a group, this is great so you don't fall really far behind.

u/Beer_Is_So_Awesome · 1 pointr/motorcycles

Do you have a decent bicycle floor-pump? Good pumps will take a bike tire to 130psi plus, which is far more pressure than you'll need to put into a motorcycle. They're more durable and far better built than those sloppy, stamped-metal car-style foot pumps. Because they're designed to put out high pressure and low volume it'll take you a while, but you'll get there.

A Joe Blow (which I consider to be a very good pump) will set you back less than $30.

u/RealLifeNoRespawn · 1 pointr/funny

> ... just take the gas generator out of your pocket ...

Technically possible.

u/boredcircuits · 1 pointr/bicycling

Not really? I'm guessing here, but I think these might also be called "floor pumps". Most people use the terms interchangeably.

u/samvegg · 1 pointr/bicycling

My expereicen from multiple shop owners is that the park tool one is an over priced POS that breaks easily. Better off getting an automotive one and modifying it with one of these

u/Sweepy_time · 1 pointr/PlantedTank

I'm using that setup in a 5 gallon Fluval Spec right now. Ditch the diffuser it comes with, its huge. Get the this [one] (https://smile.amazon.com/Fluval-Ceramic-88g-CO2-Diffuser-Ounces/dp/B004GCO35G/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1486225190&sr=8-1&keywords=Fluval+diffuser)

You can also get threaded mini co2 canisters much cheaper than the fluval brand. $23 for a 15 pack. Each one lasts me about a month on 6 hours a day/ 1 bubble per second. link

Its a bit cumbersome, the valve takes some time to get used to. The slightest twist will either be too much or nothing at all. Its not automatic so you basically have to touch it twice a day, once to turn it on and once again to off. IF you have any questions let me know

u/AlanEsh · 1 pointr/cycling

This is the best replacement head&hose I've found:

https://www.amazon.com/Topeak-SmartHead-Bicycle-Floor-Upgrade/dp/B000FIE4JK/ref=sr_1_9?keywords=replacement+bike+pump+head&qid=1557949158&s=gateway&sr=8-9

Long hose, might want to cut or look for just the head.

u/jzwinck · 1 pointr/bicycling

Topeak is good. For example: https://www.amazon.com/Topeak-Blow-Floor-Pump-Black/dp/B008QVMP58

Blackburn is also good. I've had one for over 20 years.

u/abusche · 1 pointr/Homebrewing

like 1, basically.

depends how thorough you want to be with flushing air out of your carboy or whatever you're doing. i flushed mine using maybe 3/4 of the cartridge (obviously no way to know this for sure), then came back to it again when i needed it next, and it was empty. (i think my injector/dispensor deal was pretty cheap and probly leaked) so from then on i just used a full cartridge each time. good news is they are (sorta) cheap. but not 5lb C02 tank, cheap.

u/SgtBaxter · 1 pointr/cycling

Floor pump for at home before you ride. I have a Serfas FP200 which is excellent

On my road bike I just carry CO2 inflator and cartridges, but on my touring bike I have a pump that mounts under the bottle cage. It's best to get one with a hose like this one. That way, you don't damage the valve or tear the tube when pumping.

u/kziv · 1 pointr/ladycyclists

I have assorted issues with putting air in my tires. What works for me is:

  • I use a pump that screws to my valve stems instead of the normal kind that attaches with the lever. I find that it sits better and I never have air leaking out because of an insufficient seal (not your problem, but it's a common one)
  • After unscrewing the valve, I tap the valve tip before attaching the pump to get a little hiss of air. This seems to loosen up the valve a bit, making the "stuck" issue go away.
