I ve since returned the topeak and purchased a specialized pump designed for mountain bike tires and the difference in pumping action is night and day.
Topeak joeblow mountain floor pump review.
This unique mountain bike specific floor pump features a super sized steel barrel designed to deliver the higher volume required for large off road tires and an extra sensitive base mounted analog gauge with air release button to help dial in the exact pressure.
It delivers the higher volume required for large off road tires and the extra sensitive 3 easy to read low pressure analog gauge helps dial in the proper pressure while the large steel base provides stability.
The new joeblow iii continues the tradition of setting the benchmark for floor pump durability and performance while ushering in upgrades with an enlarged 3 chronograph inspired gauge and new hammer style twinhead dx pump head.
Although the topeak pump is well built it does require heavy pushing compared to a more expensive pump.
That s what topeak created the joeblow mountain x floor pump for to make your life easier when you re tossing a new set of rubber on your wide mtb rims.
I can t bring myself to ditch it.
This unique mountain bike specific floor pump features a super sized barrel that inflates tubes nearly 50 faster than normal floor pumps.
Air release button takes the guess work out of releasing air from over inflated tires large analogue gauge on base is accurate easy to read and has both psi and bar read outs twinhead double sided chuck works with both presta and schrader valves wide base for stability.
My new pump feels effortless in comparison.
Designed for low pressure mountain bike tires the topeak joeblow mountain floor pump features a massive barrel to help you fill up those 26 29er or 650b tires quickly so you can get back to tearing up the trails features.
The huge steel chamber moves 722 cc s of air per stroke moving enough that you can quite quickly seat a tubeless tire and features a long hose and oversized padded handle to match.
A durable steel barrel and base as well as ergonomic padded handle.
The head has a large locking lever and is double sided to work with both regular valve types.
Instead of blowing out your eardrums using a noisy garage compressor or popping veins in your neck trying to seat tubeless tires with standard floor pump the topeak joeblow booster lets you blast 160psi into your tires with one silent turn of a dial.
5 0 out of 5 starsreputable company quality hardware reviewed in the united states on june 15 2015 i bought this pump to replace an old bell bike pump i was using.
I am fairly experienced in cycling and i figured it was time i had a pump to match the quality of my bike.
Nevertheless the joeblow booster floor pump has seen heaps of use and it currently rests comfortably with a perfect success rate the cocky bugger it s taken 12 years for me to move from my trusty topeak joeblow max and even with the new tool strutting around the original still has a place.
