Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)When I first unpacked the pump and started to use it, I was agreeing with the negative review.
It wasn't working. I too have Presta valves and it just would not lock on. Also, my tire ran flat since it wasn't sealing.
I was at the point of demolishing it when I decided, maybe I need to read the manual.
Once I unscrewed the valve cover, and reversed the internal valve and seal and re-secured the cover, it worked like a charm. Man did I feel like an idiot.
Since it gave me so much frustration (all my own fault too, which makes it all the worse), I thought I would share this with everyone else to hopefully save them the trouble.
And remember kids...RTFM!
(Read the F'ing Manual)
PS.
I will say though, that the lock/unlock icons are a bit deceiving because it is based on the motion of the VALVE CONNECTION which DOES NOT MOVE. This may have been why the bad review had issues. For that, I do remove a star. Just follow the feel of it and you won't go wrong.
It also does fill the tire rather quickly, faster than I thought it would and the fact that it can mount beside an existing water holster is definitely a bonus.
I recommend using the larger side of the clamp to hold the pump handle so it doesn't slip. when first mounted with larger clamp on the valve connection, the pump handle dropped into my gears nearly causing an epic collision.
