Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Well at least the pump still looks cool. After all, that's what counts, right?

Yep. The carbon one took me in. Never took it on the road, thank goodness. It failed the living room test.

Worse than useless. Sent it back.

OTOH, the Topeak Micro Rocket Carbon does work, just not very quick or very comfortably:



This one looks interesting: Same pump, with different handle, may be Euro only:
