A great little pump, January 9, 2007
By Keith (NYC, USA)
|
|
The best alternative to carrying a full size pump. Fits in your jersey pocket, built like a tank, and can reach 120 psi easily. I've had he Crank Bros. and this is easily the better pump. While heavier, it is made to last.

Great emergency pump for high pressure tires, January 7, 2010
By Clay Atchley
|
|
Grest pump, compact makes high pressure pretty easily. Only flaw is the built-in pressure gauge stopped working. Probably caused by a drop on teh ground or two. Durable pump otherwise and does everything it claims.

New owner --- here's a tip for others, May 6, 2011
By S. Wolfe
|

I just received this and initial impressions are quite good, BUT the instructions are a little unclear on how to convert it from scrader to presta.
The instructions say to screw off the silver tip, and turn around the piece inside. They aren't quite clear enough that there are two pieces: 1x rubber and 1x plastic. You leave the plastic piece in place, and only flip the rubber part. To be clear, the plastic piece goes in first and the rubber piece second--the rubber piece should always be closest to the silver tip, regardless of which valve type you're using it for.
First time using it I flipped both (they came out as a single piece so I didn't think twice). It fit over the valve but didn't lock. In trying to get it to inflate I used too much force and snapped the valve right off. Thankfully the guy at the bike shop spotted my mistake and got it straightened out before I returned it as defective to Amazon. I'll split the blame with the pump, it was a blend of user error and lacking instructions.

recommend against the is pump, August 8, 2011
By hamiltonia (Redmond, WA USA)
|

I've had the this pump for about a month and have had the honor of having 5 flats in that time (3 in one trip). I've found this pump to be a complete failure.
In all cases I've never been able to get the pressure high enough in my tires (about 65lbs - 26" mountain bike rims) to consider the tire fully inflated. I've had trouble getting the pump to make a tight seal against my shrader valve type stems - losing air that I'm pumping in.
Additionally the general design of the pump means the stem is getting pushed and pulled while I pump, in 2 cases I ended up damaging the valve stem to the point where the patched tube was worthless.
Finally the little chrome decoration in the middle tends to come lose while pumping and get in the way; it's just a decoration anyway - it could be left off.
Overall I think the pump is a failure and I will be tossing it in the trash. In the future I'll be looking for a pump with a separate screw on type hose that I know will make a good seal and will minimize the trauma to the stem while pumping.

brilliant mechanism, depressing execution, September 9, 2011
By Nickrp8 (Redding, CA)
|

bottom line: with a few tweaks this would be the best pump on the market by a massive margin. As it stands it is a barely usable waste of brilliant engineering; and as an engineer that makes me sad.
This is the only bike pump that I have seen which uses genuine 2 stage compression. The push stroke puts air from the telescoping chamber in to a smaller chamber in the pump, the pull stroke forces that air in to the tire. This makes for a drastic improvement in both pumping efficiency and force needed to pump.
Unfortunately it is poorly made. The worst part is the gauge. It does not work; and because the pump is more efficient than expected it caused me to over pressure and blow up a tire. (on the good side this proved the pump is capable of going well over 110 psi) The valve connection is nowhere near as effective as that on similar pumps, and because you need force on both push and pull it is harder to keep it from damaging your stem. I could rant about weight and material selection too, but that is just a matter of needing a higher end model. Also I do not trust the holder it comes with at all.
If I were making it I would use a short hose with a screw in connection, an adjustable poppet pressure relief valve instead of a gauge (Why does no one do this?!?) and make it with aluminum and carbon tubes to get the weight down. To Quicker: One more product iteration please! you are so close! to all the other bike accessory manufactures out there: Please obtain this IP and start using it!

Amazing little pump, December 12, 2011
By Dylan Stultz
|
|
I have had this pump for several weeks and I use it to inflate the tires on my wheelchair. This is a very durable pump and it's double action cuts the effort in half. I was also impressed to find that there is an air pressure guage built into the pump, so if you need to know the psi you will be quite pleased with this product.

The most air for your pump, June 21, 2011
By Opheliasbterfly (Florida, USA)
|
|
This Quicker Pro pump is the best I've found, mainly because it extends out to about 3 times it's size and allows you to pump in much more air with each stroke than the run-of-the-mill hand pump. It's fairly light weight and comes with a handy mount that will not harm your frame. I usually just stick in in my jersey pocket though.

small; decent as frame pumps go, April 24, 2012
By Edward Reid (Tallahassee, FL, US)
|

I bought this pump from my LBS to have a smaller pump to carry, one that I can easily toss in a pannier. Most frame pumps are long enough to make this difficult. I've used it once, on both tires, to make sure I could work it.
Like all frame pumps, it's designed for someone with much stronger arms than me, an issue exacerbated by having to hold it with both arms rather than against the ground and with the fingers of one hand gripping spokes and the valve end of the pump. I had to be careful how I held the valve end, or it slipped off. I managed to get 65 PSI into my road tires, enough to get me home safely but only 2/3 of what I'd like the pressure to be. I get few enough flats that this is usable, though barely, as long as I'm careful to avoid hitting bumpy things. That's about as much pressure as I can get with most frame pumps, a little less than I can get with the one I've had which has a hose and can be pushed against the ground. So 3 stars represents the maximum I'll give to any frame pump I've seen yet. And it's fairly costly.
I found the built-in pressure gauge to be useless, as I could not read it while pumping. Even if I could see it, it's so small that the accuracy is necessarily poor. And the numbers are bizarre, not multiples of 10 PSI -- I think they are multiples of 2 bars converted to PSI. That's just silly.
Why oh why doesn't someone make a frame pump (or even a floor pump) with a screw-end for Schrader valves so you don't have to hold it against the spokes, a short hose to keep the pumping action from pushing the valve around, a useful pressure gauge or pressure relief valve, and a mechanism designed to require more strokes at less force, for those of us who aren't wrestlers but just bike tourists? That isn't rocket science, but it is needed to persuade me to rate a frame pump above 3 stars.

Pump envy, May 3, 2012
By comsumer reporter (seattle)
|
|
I've had numerous pumps over the years. Some were ok and some worthless. I find the Quicker Pro amazing, with far less effort than with any mini pump I've owned the Quicker achieved well over 100 PSI.
On a recent group ride we had 4 flats, after watching me use the Quicker on the 1st, all the subsequent flatters wanted to use my pump. The double stroke action and wide diameter really help move a lot of air.
One must get a technique down, You must firmly seat the pump head on the valve and use one hand to firmly hold it in position. Then use your right hand to quickly pump with smooth long strokes. The built in gauge doesn't seem to be accurate but who cares. This short stout pump stores nicely in my seat bag.
