This is a portable floor pump for mountain bikers. Filling a large volume tire is VERY tiring and takes a long time with a standard handheld pump.. This pump transforms into a small floor pump for on the trail repairs. It is the absolute BEST pump a mountain biker can carry in their pack if convenience trumps weight. All my riding buds who put in lots of miles carry this.

My bike is stored in my apartment so I purchased the rack with the sliding lock and the seat comes on and off very easily. The seat I purchased was with the standard rack but came with the sliding lock version. Handy if you have 2 bikes (like me) since the rack is muck cheaper than the seat. The seat in it self is sturdy and seems very comfortable. The sliding lock, how ever easy to use, is also very secure.
Ultra light and ultra small is indeed the point of this pump. Came with a great plastic mount to attach it to the frame with your water bottle, and it stays put as it should. It looks great and most of all prevents adding more weight for that monster hill route you love/hate.
It does push a surprising amount of air for how little it is, but I would personally like to actually *see* video some of these claims that it will pump to 100psi in 3 minutes. Due to its size you have to make up for a lack of volume with your muscles. Which isnt alot of fun as there's really no good place to grab either end of it; your hand starts aching in a hurry, and since you're having to put alot of force on each throw of the pump when pressures get ...

Before I bought my expensive road bike, I had a my hybrid bike and put a kickstand on this bike. Face it, kickstands are PRACTICAL. There are too many places where you get off the bike, but there is nowhere to stand the bike, except on the ground.
I bought a road bike a few months back, and alas, no kickstand. I had difficulty standing it against things, and people kept telling me that I shouldn't lay it on the ground. Enter the flashstand! Now, when I go for a ride, I bring it, and when I need to get off my bike voila - instant kickstand!
The flashstand is lightweight and compact. It folds up into about a 6 inch strip, so you can just put in your bento bag or pocket.

Topeak Twinhead Bicycle Floor Pump Upgrade Kit
Works as advertised. Upgrades numerous models -- comes with a bag of adapters for different connections to the pump base. Hose is longer than the original (for my model pump) and can be cut to size.
Bought this cover one month ago. It is a little short, will not quite cover the bottom of the wheels. Don't know about putting it back in the pouch, would probably be difficult. It is however, the toughest cover I have ever seen. I carry my bike on the back of my truck (semi). Things on this truck take a lot of wear and abuse. This cover has worked flawlessly for the whole month! My last bike cover did not last two days. I thought I would have had to patch it up a dozen times by now. This is one well made cover. Best value for the money.

The "Smart" Head should be renamed. You get the idea! Anyway, if your presta valves are not the fully threaded type the pump head pops off at about 100 psi. Super annoying! I had to pump with one hand and hold the head with the other until I found a solution. I had to buy schrader adapters which I put on everytime I inflate my tires. I run tubulars so have to get up to 200 psi. It works, but I consider it pretty unsat! The pump ergonomics itself are pretty good, but the whole head thing was a real disappointment.
I ride about 100 miles a week, and was looking for a simple, inexpensive cycle computer. The Topeak Comp 130 fit the bill. Installation was pretty simple (less than 30 minutes) and the computer does exactly what it said it would do. I've checked the accuracy versus known distances, and it's been perfect every time. I would highly recommend.
I bought this stand after comparing a number of other stands, including other various Topeak, Park, Pedro, and Spin Doctor stands. Most of the stands in the same price range accomplish the same tasks with the same ease; but there are a few tidbits about the Topeak that i liked:
1. it has nice heavy-duty aluminum tubing (the pictures don't adequately demonstrate this), which more than adequately supports the bicycle in its 360° rotation. i thought about building my own stand at one point, but buying this stand is definitely superior to anything i can fabricate from Home Depot plumbing parts. *laughs*
2. it is collapsible--although it is still over 3' tall once collapsed--and the QR mechanisms mean it is a cinch to take ... Read More:
