VeloChampion Alloy Mini Bike Pump Suitable for Presta, Schrader and Dunlop - Portable, Compact, Durable and Easy to Use

EDIT 07-25-2017VeloChampion pump broke on its fourth use. When it was new, I tested it on my bike tire at home. Worked great. Barely a week passes and I encountered a nice but ill prepared couple on a local wilderness bike path. They had a flat but no pump, no CO2, and no patches. I was happy to help fellow riders.A few weeks later, the same circumstance, same wilderness bike path, stuck girl rider. That was the third use.Yesterday, another stuck rider. Broke out the Velo Champ, only to find that it felt like it was turned into a vacuum pump, not a pressure pump. There was resistance on the air intake stroke, like either the pump check valve had gone bad, or where ever it takes in air was clogged. Long story short, the Velo Champ worked properly three times and then stopped functioning.Unless you like being stranded, you might want to consider spending a little more on a better quality pump. I am trying this one:https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B010JFWDHSOriginal review below:I wasn't expecting much for under $10. But this little jewel delivers.I let the air out of a front tire to see how well (or if) the VeloChampion works. 150 strokes later, my 24” mountain bike tire was inflated to a very ride-able level. The particular unit I got does not leak any air at all when locked to the valve.I am also well impressed at the high quality feel of the pump, taking the low cost into consideration.

Had a slow leak the other night and figured I'd try to make it home inflating it periodically along the way. Worked well the first four times I had to pump it up. The 5th time, the nozzle fell off the pump and wouldn't stay on (I could screw it back in, but the plastic screw threads weren't holding). I might be able to superglue it back in, we'll see. All in all, I wish I'd spent a few extra dollars and got something more durable. It's definitely nice and compact, light weight, and will inflate up to about 40 psi or so with no problem, at least until it broke. You'd think something would last more than five uses even if it was under $10.

This is a useful, compact little thing. I didn't gt it for a bicycle, although I can see why it'd be popular for that. I have a firewood cart with pneumatic wheels which is great, but the wheels tend to lose air after 2-3 months. So I needed a pump that was small and easily to store somewhere, that I didn't have to use a lot. This is easy to use, but you don't quite have the same kind of purchase you get with a bigger pump. It's a worthwhile trade, though, for its size. If I had to use a pump a lot for a bicycle (I don't do long-distance cycling, so it doesn't matter), I'd stick to the more conventional floor pump and use it in my garage. But this suits my needs.

This is exactly what I was looking for to use on the road with my jog stroller. I had problems fitting a standard pump in between the spokes of the small front wheel on my stroller. This mini pump is perfect! It fits in the spokes easily and locks on without any struggle. I've used is about a dozen times (I need to find the hole!) so far and just appreciate the small size and smooth air delivery. Highly recommended!

It's Small! It's light weight! It will give you a workout! So far I used it to fill some tires on my fixie it has the presta valves and it did the job. The pump is extremely small and doesn't put a lot of air into the tire with each pump but it does work! It's cheap and really small comes with a holder for the bike. Great to take on the go!

This is by no means a great pump for regular use. It is an emergency pump. It's bailed me out twice so far. It's small enough to fit in my handle bar bag, and light enough to not be noticeable. Due to the small canister size I would only get the tire pressure up to about 3/4, which was workable until I found a gas station or got to regular pump. Even this would take 150 to 200 pumps.If you want one pump that you can use as your regular tire pump, this is not it. If you want a lightweight one for emergencies, and don't mind lots of pumping, this worked for me.

This little pump is pretty sturdy! I mounted it to my bike with the low-profile mount, so it's tucked out of the way. It takes a little time to air up a tire with this little pump, but time is a good trade-off for size and weight. I was only able to pump my tires up to about 30psi, so you can't use this as your main pump, but it will get you back home if you have to fix a flat while out.

This “7 inch Alloy Mini Bike Pump” would fit perfect on any bicycle tubes (DownTube, Seat Tube or Top Tube) it jdepends on the Bike style / your sex (which Tubes) the only issue I had with this Pump was when I had a complete FLAT (had to replace the Tire) it took more muscle than I had. Otherwise always be prepared.

Gekauft habe ich die Pumpe vor fast auf den Tag genau zwei Jahren. Seitdem ist sie als stiller Begleiter dabei auf all meinen Touren. Nach zwei Jahren ohne "Platten" (dank pannensicherem Mantel) hatte der "VeloChampion" heute sein Debüt als Helfer in der Not. Leider erwies sich das vermeintliche kleine Helferlein im Ernstfall als überflüssiger Ballast. Auch mehrfaches Zerlegen und Zusammensetzen hatten leider nicht den geringsten Einfluss auf die Funktionslosigkeit des Artikels. Die Pumpe weigerte sich standhaft zum Leben zu erwachen und ihre verdammte Pflicht zu erfüllen. Immerhin schenkte sie mir für lange Zeit die Illusion mir im Fall einer Panne selbst helfen zu können. Nachdem der diensthabende familiäre Pannendienst für meine sichere Heimkehr gesorgt hatte, fand der Hochstapler seine letzte Ruhestätte im Hausmüll. Möge er in Frieden ruhen!

I’ve just bought a new bike so was moving my stuff (pump, mudguards, rack, etc) from old to new. Thought I’d see if Amazon still sold this pump as it’s had a hell of a lot of use, is looking a bit worn and it was only cheap.It lives on my bike (which I commute to work on) but the kids always use it for their bikes as well as It’s the only hand pump we have.Only reason I was looking was because it’s gotten a bit dirty and worn (on my shiny new bike).Anyway, turns out I’ve had it 7 years and it still works extremely well.Thought that was worth sharing.I’m not actually going to buy another - was just looking - but I will, when I need to.

Ich habe mir diese kleine Fahrradpumpe für meine Touren mit dem Mountainbike gekauft. Ich bin oft alleine im Gelände (bzw. Feld, Wald, Wiese) unterwegs und manchmal ist die nächste Ortschaft bzw. Straße ewig weit entfernt. Wenn man sich da einen Dorn einfährt oder anderweitig einen Plattfuß bekommt, müsste man einige Kilometer schieben, wenn man sich seine Laufräder nicht beschädigen will.Daher jetzt immer im Rucksack mit dabei, die VeloChampion Minipumpe. Oftmals kann man sich bei einem schleichenden Plattfuß mit etwas Nachpumpen bis nach Hause bzw. den nächsten Ort retten.Die Pumpe ist wirklich schön klein und verschwindet in den kleinsten Taschen meines Rucksacks. Die Haptik ist wertig und für eine Unterwegsluftpumpe sehr zufriedenstellend. Am Ventilaufsatz ist eine Verschlusskappe angebracht, welche vor Verschmutzungen schützt. Durch kinderleichte Handgriffe kann die Pumpe zwischen den beiden gängigen Presta und Schrader Ventilarten umgebaut werden.Das Gewicht der Pumpe steht, aus meiner Sicht zumindest, im absoluten Verhältnis zum Mehrwert im Pannenfall. Die Pumpe alleine wiegt gerade 83 Gramm, mit Zubehör zur Befestigung am Rahmen gerade 106 Gramm (beide Gewichte mit unserer Küchenwaage ermittelt). Das Befestigungskit ist übrigens im Lieferumfang enthalten. Es lässt sich mit an den Haltepunkten für die Trinkflaschenhalterung befestigen. Ich habe als Mountainbiker eh immer einen Rucksack dabei, weshalb ich das Befestigungskit nicht weiter ausprobiert habe.Die VeloChampion ist allerdings wirklich nur als Pannenhelfer geeignet, da die Pumpleistung aufgrund der geringen Größe wirklich begrenzt ist und man schnell müde Arme bekommt. Für das tägliche Prüfen des Luftdrucks ist die Kleine wirklich ungeeignet, zudem fehlt eine Druckanzeige.Mein Fazit:Ein kleiner und leichter Begleiter auf langen MTB-Touren abseits befestigter Wege und Ortschaften. Bei einem schleichenden Plattfuß kann man sich hiermit etwappenweise bis ans Ziel retten. Gute Verarbeitung, kleines Packmaß, sekundenschneller Wechsel der Ventilart und leichtes Gewicht sind die postiven Eigenschaften der VeloChampion Minipumpe.Aus meiner Sicht ist das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis absolut gewahrt und ich kann die Pumpe mit ruhigen Gewissen weiterempfehlen.Update 12/2019 - In diesem Jahr zwei Plattfüße gefahren. Zum Glück hatte ich die Pumpe dabei und konnte mich zum Besenwagen 😁 durchkämpfen. Ich liebe dieses kleine Teil...

Needed a small pump for mountain bike. Easy to fit but these seem to now have side of frame fit rather than on top/inline with frame. However does not get in way. Make sure when fitting consider handle will drift out unless fitted with it at top for gravity to keep it tucked in. Replaced an inner tube and tyre so this was tested to blow the new ones up. Worked well but would prefer if handle rotated to create a T grip when pumping. NOTE when fitted before you go riding ensure you have the correct valve setting (Presta (set to this)/Schrader (car type) valve) for your inner tube valve - easy to change over but do you want to do it on a rainy dark evening.

My other mini pump fell off adn vanished so I got this because it has a velcro strap as well as a clip. This is so small and short that pumping a tyre up from flat will be no fun and take ages, but it's fine for emergencies while out and about. I have a floor pump too. You have to screw the end off and swap around the bits inside if you use Presta valves, but it only takes a moment. Comes with a neat bracket and bolts that screw into the standard mounts.
