The right tire pressure makes for a great ride, and the Ozone aluminum mini pump from Planet Bike will get you pumped up fast and back in the saddle in no time. The pump is outfitted with a smooth, lightweight alloy barrel--making it easy to carry virtually anywhere--along with a locking T-handle for maximum pumping efficiency. The reversible head, meanwhile, fits both Presta and Schrader valves, so you can inflate both kinds of tires in a pinch. And riders will love the large pressure gauge, which offers an easy-to-read face. Designed for fast inflation to 60 psi, the Ozone comes with a mounting bracket and a Velcro strap and is backed by a limited lifetime warranty. About Planet Bike In November of 1996, Planet Bike was founded in Madison, Wisconsin. In many ways, Planet Bike began as a social experiment that dedicated itself to doing business in a different way. Instead of being just another company that develops and sells products with profit as its end goal, Planet Bike wanted to help bring about positive change for people, their communities, and the environment. Despite being a simple machine, the people at Planet Bike have always believed that the bicycle has great potential to help improve the world and the lives of the people in it. From the start, they have embraced an alternative corporate purpose which seeks to help get more people on bicycles by making communities friendlier places for the self-propelled. By donating 25% of company profits to causes that promote and facilitate bicycle usage, Planet Bike hopes to make an impact. Social experiments aside, Planet Bike was born from the heart of a cyclist with a goal of making innovative, high quality, and practical bicycle accessories. Simply put, they strive to design and develop the best bicycle products in the world. In the company's short ten year history, they have made important product innovations within the bicycle industry. Advancements include the 4-line computer which is now a standard in the industry and the world's first self-contained HID light. Not bad for a company that ten years ago started as a one man operation. Today, while still a small company, Planet Bike continues to evolve and improve their product line with the goal of always striving to build accessories that make it easier for people to ride their bikes. Since 1996, Planet Bike's financial support of the grassroots bicycle movement has totaled $500,000. By 2010, they have made a goal to donate $1 million to organizations that are dedicated to making America a friendlier place for cyclists.

Good for MTB and Hybrid Tires, October 7, 2009

Good for what it does, gauge is nice although I had one where the gauge broke trying to fill a tire to 90psi. forCycling replaced it right away but I have yet to try it out over 65psi. One thing to note though once you get over the 45psi mark your gonna have to put alot of pressure on this to continue.

You get what you pay for.
Really cheap feeling to the pump, but it works and is very nicely portable. The gauge is kinda sketchy sometimes, doesn't always read correctly until you jiggle it or push it onto the valve more.
Also the pump handle is sometimes difficult to manipulate because it has a hinge. So sweaty palms are gonna slip and snap a valve, at least I did anyway :(
What I do when I start getting past ~70 PSI is press the handle against my abs, grip the metal tube, and pull my tire against my body. Seems to do the trick when trying to counter its flimsy handle. I try to do this in a secluded spot because it probably looks weird to others. But, hey, it works.

Great cheap backup, June 29, 2009

Can go to 60 psi pretty easily. Only thing I do not like is the mount. It does not come with a center mount option, instead it is meant to be installed under the water bottle cage and resting to the side. I did not like that setup personally. I meant to put it in the 2nd cage location to have low profile under the seat, vs this pump hanging parallel but to the outside of the frame.

Just plain bad, June 26, 2009
|

First, the valve has three positions: parallel to the tire's valve stem, perpendicular to the tire's valve stem, and just beyond perpendicular to the tire's valve stem. The valve leaked in all three positions and didn't seem to inflate the tire in any of them. It has a dual schrader/presta valve heads. I used the correct one; it was not that.
Second, the gauge is on the inside of the pump. Maybe I pump backwards, but I find it easier to inflate a tire with the valve stem on the bottom pointing upwards. This causes the gauge to face the ground. To see the gauge, the valve stem needs to be oriented at the top pointing down. No biggie, I suppose if the pump worked in the first place.
Lastly, after fooling for a bit with getting it to work, the plunger rod broke at the plunger head. It may have been due to the valve head not fitting the valve stem properly causing too much pressure in the plunger tube and too much pressure on the plunger rod. So, I guess I can take partial blame for this, but I wouldn't think that a pump which claims it can handle 60 psi would normally fail in this situation. I doubt I put that much force on it. Who knows, maybe I am a beast and just don't know it.
Not even bothering with seeking a replacement. Considering my experiences and the others' who left comments here, I'll just look for something else.
