 Excellent Oct 01, 2009
Great value for this price. Works really good, I pump road tires without a problem.

 Short life Jul 24, 2009
This pump worked great for a while, then it began to get worse. The warranty is for two years... about the length of time before the plastic hose starts to age and crack. A year later the cracks were completely through the hose and the pump would no longer work. Topeak has no customer service department - it is contracted through a company called Toddson, who eventually offered to sell me a new hose for $10 after several emails and a phone call.
Don't bother buying this pump unless you're ok with spending 10 bucks every couple/few years just to keep it going, in addition to anything else that might go wrong (see other reviews). I will grant that the cracking hose is the only problem I've encountered, but it is a fatal one.

Joe Blow Valves Fall Apart Every 3 months Oct 05, 2008
I've gone through 3 Joe Blow pumps in 9 months. The overall pump is sturdy but the valve falls apart with only minor use in a very short period of time. Lucky for me my local bike shop let me swap them out for free. It's really a crying shame that this company doesn't get it, the valves are just cheap plastic and not on par with the rest of the pump.

 Topeak Joe Blow Bike Pump Aug 04, 2008
Topeak Joe Blow Sport Floor Pump w/Gauge Steel Barrel w Gauge Yellow
Pump of reasonably good quality. The strongest and most unique part of the pump is the Schraeder/Presta valve head. When put on the valve stem of your tire, the head attaches snuggly to both the Schraeder and Presta style valves. An aluminium lever latches the valve head of the pump tightly to the stem and valve - uniquely tight.
The pump has a strong construction with a steel base and a padded pump handle. Air gauge is accurate and beefy.
Overall, the pump provides a better than average tire filling experience. Topeak has taken all the faults of other competitors and improved on them and have produced a product that will last a very long time with good service.

 Good pump but small gauge increments of 4 PSI is unwelcome Mar 21, 2008
It's a solid pump with an easy to use valve head. What I have found frustrating is the gauge.
The numerical increments are every 20 PSI: 0 / 20/ 40 / 60 / 80 et cetera. That would be fine but the marked increments between numerals is 4 PSI. For example, after "20" the tiny hash marks indicate 24, 28, 32, and 36. With the gauge near the bottom of the pump it is nearly impossible to discern the hash marks while pumping.
This pump is fine for inflating my bicycle tire to 80 PSI but near impossible to use with my motorcycle tire at 33 PSI. If you have have better than 20/20 vision and use a base-4 numerical system, this is the ideal pump for you!
