Lifetime warranty About Planet Bike
In November 1996, Planet Bike was founded in Madison, WI. 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, the company strives to design and develop the best bicycle products in the world. In the company's short 10-year history, it has made important product innovations within the bicycle industry. Advancements include the four-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 10 years ago started as a one-man operation. Today, while still a small company, Planet Bike continues to evolve and improve its 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. ReviewsThis is the best bike pump I've ever used. It's very durable, easy to pump, well made, light weight, comfortable, and works flawlessly. The pressure gauge is easy to read and seems accurate. It's got everything I needed and it works just like I wanted. This is a fantastic pump.
This pump has a bad nozzle: it is really tough to take out from the valve. By trying to yank it out, I tore so many tubes next to the valve.
It took my a while to figure out why I was getting flats every other day. I wasted lots of money and time walking my bike to the shop to get the tubes replaced before I realized they were caused by a bad pump.
To sum up: this pump will cause you worlds of pain until you throw it away. Avoid.
Its a simple pump, looks great out of the box, and fills up my road bike in no time. Once you get to 100+psi the pump is difficult to press down, which is expected. The gaege works great and I'm happy with the purchase.
I have to say - it took me about 10 mins to figure out how to get this to work on my presto valves - and here's the answer. Just plug this into the presto socket, raise the lever (counter-intuitive) and then pump like you mean it. After one pump or so it "detects" that you are using the presto socket and then transferes the air to fill your tires. A little bit of a learning curve but now it's great.
It is make with really sturdy materials - great price AND high quality!
I'll make this simple. If you want to pay out the bum for a snazzy brand name road bike pump, go for it. If you want amazing functionality and solid construction that won't break the bank, buy this pump. The whole think feels solid, and no leaks or connection problems have arisen or are anticipated. The gauge is appealing and useful. The "love handle" top is a great idea and makes it very comfortable to pump, even if you really need to lay into it, and I think the whole system is quite good looking. Just get it.
