Comments about Lezyne Alloy Floor Drive Pump:
Anyone using this tool immediately recognizes its superiority. Stable base, flexible hose that stores securely, unbreakable handle and precision compression, plus a readable accurate gauge makes this the ultimate floor pump. It has almost completely replaced my 40-year-old Silca, which is high praise.
Two caveats:
1 - you have to actually pay attention to the gauge. There's little tactile feedback to warn you against overpressurization, nor will the pump head pop off the valve stem. In other words, this is such a good pump you could blow up your tires with surprisingly little effort in surprisingly few strokes. "Blow up" as in explode. Don't guess; watch the gauge.
2 - machined aluminum is Lezyne's forte; they do it extremely well. The secret here is perfect machining creating a perfect sliding seal with the plunger. Aluminum tubing dents easily, though, and tall thin structures get knocked over in a shop, so you're faced with a dilemma: expose the work of art to view, exposing the tool's utility to debilitating bumps, or obviate aesthetics in the interest of durability. I enclosed the aluminum tube in foam pipe insulation wrapped with an inner tube like bar tape.
I haven't tried the steel version but had it been available I'd have bought that instead. It's painted instead of polished and presumably works as well, though it costs considerably less. I'd still protect it but with less regret.
As far as I can tell, everything from Lezyne is the best-made version of whatever it is. They seem to only bother making what they can markedly improve. (I have 3 of their pumps and a couple of tools, each made the way I would make it if I knew how.)
Comments about Lezyne Alloy Floor Drive Pump:
Silky smooth in operation. Pumping past 120 psi is as effortless as it gets. Gauge is easy to read. Nice long and flexible hose. The hose end screws onto your presta stem rather than using the typical friction fit. The screw fitting is much easier on stems and tubes and should prolong tube life. I've had mine close to two years with it showing no signs of wear.
Finally, this thing is beautiful. I keep in in my livingroom next to the front door.
Comments about Lezyne Alloy Floor Drive Pump:
This pump is easy to use, and I really appreciate the screw on feature-- after popping the lever style pump heads off of multiple valve stems, I find this to be reliable and very accurate.
The gauge is right on, and I find it just as easy to pump my mountain bike tires to 60psi as my road bike tires to 100psi.
I highly recommend this pump!
