I’ve not run this particular model long enough to comment on longevity but I do have a previous version of this pump which is now about 15 years old and I’ve never had any issues with it.Certini Bicycle Co Ltd acts as a broker and not the lender and only offers finance from Secure Trust Bank PLC T/A V12 Retail Finance. This is likely to be a problem with any track pump (I’ve not yet found one that fits), I tend to use a mini-pump with a hose on these wheels. The only wheel / valve I couldn’t get it to work on was on a child’s 20” wheeled bike where there’s not enough room between the spokes to fit the head. I’ve had no problem with getting a tight fit and no leaking whilst pumping. The massive cam lever on the head makes the pump really easy to attach and remove from your valves. The SwitchHitter II head does the job it’s supposed to do and has worked effectively on both Presta and Schrader valves. If you did want a pump that was more orientated to one end or the other of the volume:pressure ratio, Specialized do the Air Tool Floor Pump in HP (high pressure 252cc stroke volume, 145 psi max) and MTB (508cc, 40 psi max pressure) versions. But neither of these things have been an issue, the Air Tool Comp handles it all with ease. The downside of a do-it-all pump is that – relatively – you’ll need a few more pumps to inflate a gravel tire and a bit more oomph for higher pressures in a road tire than if you have a specific pump. As the variation was pretty consistent across pressures then it’s one that’s easy to adjust to. The gauge was really easy to read although, in comparison to readings from a Topeak digital gauge, were a little higher: Air Tool 40 psi = Topeak 35 psi, 60 psi = 54 psi, 80 psi = 73 psi. I’ve have also managed to seat tubeless tires with the Air Tool but not consistently. My MTB tires have pumped up quickly enough and I’ve had no issues getting my road tires up to the max 120 psi pressure the pump can handle. The Air Tool is really stable in use and pumping is quick and easy. (Image credit: Rachel Sokal) Specialized Air Tool Comp Floor Pump: The ride
