Comments about Topeak JoeBlow Pro Floor Pump:

I've used the pump for seven years on my road and mountain bikes. It does have a tendency to leak over 80 psi(leading to frantic pumping to get up to road bike pressure), but it's an ok pump. The gauge is the big problem. Three years ago it began failing to return to zero when no pressure was on it. At first it was going to 10 psi. Now it only returns to 50 psi. I bought a seperate pressure gauge, but @ [$] for the pump I didn't expect to have to do that.

Comments about Topeak JoeBlow Pro Floor Pump:

This pump is everthing that it is advertised. The head is easy to use with Presta valves and goes on and off smoothly. The Gauge is easy to read and the long air hose is very handy. This was recommended to me by REI employee and at first I thought the price was too high until I used it.

Comments about Topeak JoeBlow Pro Floor Pump:

This is a great pump. It is durable and works smoothly, fills tires quickly, and has an easy-to-read gauge in a good location. My only complaint is that the Smart Head is sometimes difficult to operate (on both Presta and Schrader valves). There are times where it won't engage and depress the valves stem, but adjusting the tightness of the head seems to help.

Comments about Topeak JoeBlow Pro Floor Pump:

This pump is great, and the longer than usual hose makes it easy to pump bikes hanging on the back of my van or on the wall rack in my garage.
It gets used by all the kids in the neighborhood too, I like the way the needle stays with the pump

Comments about Topeak JoeBlow Pro Floor Pump:

I have had it with this pump. It has always leaked and now the Smart Head bit the dust. I thought I was buying the best pump on the market (the price certainly reflects that) but after trying to convince myself that I was just not doing it right , I have given up.

Comments about Topeak JoeBlow Pro Floor Pump:

The pump is fantastic. The gage is easy to read and being able to set the arrow to the target pressure is very handy. All of my valves are schrader type. I find that on some valves, it can be hard to get the pump valve positioned correctly to open the tire valve stem such that air can be easily pumped into the tire. I use it to top up my auto tires as well.

Comments about Topeak JoeBlow Pro Floor Pump:

I thought that with this pump I could have it all. Good quality, stable base, easy pumping action, high mounted gauge, and the ability to use it with ease on any of our bikes, with the Schrader/Presta compatible smart valve. Initially used it just on Presta valves, without any problems. But after I started also using it on Schrader valves, I started having problems with both Presta and Schrader. The soft rubber gaskets quickly wore out, it became balkier when attempting to clamp onto the valve stems, and then the plasic lever and spring assembly broke. As long as I am paying this much to have one pump instead of two, why not put a decent metal valve head with a quality hard rubber gasket on it?

Comments about Topeak JoeBlow Pro Floor Pump:

WARNING! An otherwise solid pump is ruined by the SmartHead. This is supposed to grab onto any Schrader or Presta valve but on the unit I bought wouldn't work at all on 6 out of 6 tires at my house. 2 of 3 pumps I tried off the shelf at REI would not successfully engage the stem on random Schrader stems in the store when I went to return it. I had a salesperson on the REI floor try this for themselves and verify it. This flaw is just too annoying to struggle with so I am resuming my search for a good pump. At this point I would be happy with a Schrader only head that I don't have to fight with.

Comments about Topeak JoeBlow Pro Floor Pump:

This seems like a well-built, sturdy pump. The gauge is easy to read and the air bleeding feature is convenient. My gripe is with the "smart head". I have used it only on presta valves. I can't seem to attach the smart head to the valve stem without bleeding off a bunch of air. Then, unless the head is attached just right, air will leak while pumping. Finally, the head grips the valve stem so tightly that you have to really pull to get the head off of the valve stem. This does not bode well for the longevity of your inner tube.

If Topeak would rethink the smart head, they'd have a winner here, because everything else about the pump is very good.
