Comments about Serfas FP-200 Floor Pump:
Previously I had commented about this pump. I must admit that it was likely a user error. I've never owned a Presta set-up, so I had a little trouble "figuring" it out; however, now that I've discovered the "trick," I'm finding it to be a great bicycle pump. In short, I amend my previous review and say it's a great pump.

Comments about Serfas FP-200 Floor Pump:
I'm reviewing because it looks like the pump is about to die and I need a new one. It feels like it's starting to leak and becoming a little more difficult to use because of that.
Why am I giving it five stars? Because I purchased it in 2005. EIGHT YEARS AGO. That gives it a PHENOMENAL bang for the buck.
I bought it because once I upgraded my road bike, I started needing to pump to 100-120psi and my old pump couldn't do that. I didn't know anything about high-pressure pumps and the sales associate recommended this one. Nowadays, I'm a competitive triathlete (gone to Kona) and crit racer (cat 2). i.e. I ride A LOT. Meaning, I use this pump a lot.
My tri bike runs 120psi and latex tubes year round, which means I'm pumping them up to 120psi literally before every single ride. My road bike gets pumped up every few days, to 100/110psi. Suffice to say that with my riding volume, I use this pump for high pressure very often. Hundreds of times a year, minimum. Since 2005. You can do the math.
I've definitely put this pump through its paces. Never let me down. It has a large and stable base so it doesn't tip over easily. The gauge is easy to read and is at the top of the cylinder versus at the ground so it's closer to you. The gauge has a marker so you can move the red marker to your desired psi, making things even easier to see. And, when used properly, the pump head doesn't fly off the presta tube when pumped.
It's easy to pump as well. Gets harder as you pass 90-100psi, but I think that's expected.
Anyways, after almost a decade of use, it seems like it's starting to leak occasionally. I'll start pumping and I'll hear some leakage in the cylinder. Still works fine, just a little harder to get started. Needless to say, I'll be picking up another one of these.

Comments about Serfas FP-200 Floor Pump:
I needed to replace an old pump that did not seal well. This pump closes very easily and securily around the valve. The closure is the same for both Presta ad Schraeder valves. I have not yet tried a Schraeder but the seal is very firm. When I release it there is a very satisfactory burp as pressure is released. I like the guage placed higher up so its easier to read. My only issue is wth the way it reads out. As I pump the dial will go way past my setting at 100 psi and then drop down to the correct reading. I sometimes fear that I may be overfilling. I take a little longer to pump as I slow down as I near my goal setting. Otherwise, this is a very good pump at a very reasonable price.

Comments about Serfas FP-200 Floor Pump:
I was skeptical about this pump, because of the first review here; however, the following reviews seemed great and quite contrary to review #1. So, I bought it. Now, admittedly I've never owned a set up with Schrader valves, so maybe there's a trick that I'm missing. I realize this isn't a blog thread, but unless someone can give me the "trick," I'm going to side with the initial review and say it's not working well for the Schrader valves.

Comments about Serfas FP-200 Floor Pump:
We use this pump before every ride. The gauge is always accurate and easy to read. The presta valve is simple to attach with no air leaks. I don't dread putting air into our tires. No longer do we ask the question "who's idea was the presta valve anyway?"

Comments about Serfas FP-200 Floor Pump:
It's not a bad pump for presta or schrader if you don't care about measuring tire pressure as you pump.
I've pumped my MTB tire so full I couldn't squeeze the tire yet the pump went from 0 to only 20psi.
I will probably be returning it when I get fed up enough.

Comments about Serfas FP-200 Floor Pump:
My first new pump in over 20 years. Things have sure improved. I have had this pump for a year and use it on presta valves. It attaches securely, and fills the tires (to 110 psi) quickly and with comparatively little effort. I used to huff and puff to fill tires, but this makes things easy.

Comments about Serfas FP-200 Floor Pump:
I read too many bad reviews for floor pumps, even on the expensive ones, and for a while I decided to stick with my trusty hand pump until I got tired of it. I bought this since it had decent reviews (here and on [@]), and so far it's served me well on my nice road bike (with presta valves). The gauge is nice, the valve/lever has consistently sealed with my presta valves, pumping is quite easy even at 120psi, and overall the build quality of the pump seems good. The only minor thing I don't like is the sharp plastic edges where I'd typically pick up the pump, but that's not really an issue.

I have had this pump for over a year. I use it on road bikes and mountain bikes. It works good for sports balls too. I mainly have presta valves, and it works great on these. I have used it on schrader, and sometimes you have to push a little harder to get it on there right, but it works just fine. I really like that the head fits both types of valves without changing a part or switching something around. It's good.
