I ACTUALLY look forward to pumping my tires - cycplus AS2 PROs review

[@vgbernard1]

Fantastic review ! I am buying one.

I love your demos and advice for biking. It's influencing me to get my bike fixed (by myself) and get going/riding again.

[@bikewithcarolin]

thanks! start with a short ride to get back into it, the momentum will grow from there :)

[@bernieraverty4319]

Great review….would I be correct in understanding that if the tubes need to be topped off you need to start the pump before inserting it on the valve? Do you find this tricky or is it fairly simple? Does it engage on the valve well?

Great review, thanks Carolin! I love the idea of not hand pumping my tire if I'm out and about. Might have to get one of these!

[@bikewithcarolin]

you're welcome! its a nifty device!

[@craigmaddison8254]

Been putting off buying one of these but I think you’ve convinced me.

[@bikewithcarolin]

let me know what you think when you get one!

[@craigmaddison8254]

@@bikewithcarolinafter a bit of research I think I might go with the Fumpa Pumps version. I like the red!

[@bikewithcarolin]

@@craigmaddison8254 Nice! The red is a fun color :)

[@shershot]

I still need to get one. Luckly i tend to stick w automotive tire companies, Dunlap, michellin, parelli, may not be lightest cuz they run higher tpi carcus.

Good review. It's a handy gadget I've avoided buying because it means more batteries are being mass-produced. Battery production isn't environmentally friendly in the long run. Don't mind me too much. I'm a hypocrite who owns a bike with SRAM eTap 😑

I've had a Rockbros mini for a while now and it's great for accurate topping off of the tires before a ride. But, it's not a good replacement for a mini hand pump that doesn't need a charge and never runs out of air. Never ride without a mini hand pump. Happens too often that somebody has a tire/tube problem on a ride and doesn't have enough cartridges or the little battery operated mini dies too soon. A good quality mini hand pump is light weight, not bulky and just no reason not to carry one. Otherwise, you're counting on the kindness of others that are more prepared than you.

[@bikewithcarolin]

thanks for sharing your exp. totally get the importance of being prepared on rides. A mini hand pump is definitely a reliable backup, and it's great that you have a setup that works well for you. id say if it's a bike packing solo in a remote area, I'd have a backup hand pump + E-pump. otherwise, E-pump is great for 85% of my riding in the bay area where I'm still close to civilization.

If your ultimate goal is to avoid flats and you're willing to take on a smidge more weight, get some Schwalbe tires. I've put 10,000 miles on mine and have only inflated them a few times, no flats. Ride in road granola in a city.

[@bikewithcarolin]

impressive! glad it's worked out for you. I've had a good experience with tubeless Schwalbes and they've held up well. 3 years, 2 plugs.

[@powerstrokedude993]

CO2 for me.

[@bikewithcarolin]

you can have mine :D
