Joe Blow Max “Blows”. I’ve had a Joe Blow Sport pump for 5+ years and Topeak JoeBlow Max II Floor Bike Pump was great. Decided to get a 2nd pump, one for home & family use and one to leave in the car. Based on my old pump & positive general Joe Blow reviews, I bought a Joe Blow “Max” from the LBS last week, and it blows !

Once I get up to 80 psi, I really have to LEAN on it for each stroke to get up to 110. I mean my feet just about lift off the ground ! (I weigh 170)

I got my old Joe Blow pump out and tried it … zip zip zip right to 110 no problem.

I am on my way back to the shop to return it.

One of the best for the $$. People have posted some reviews about having difficulty pumping to > 100 psi. I haven’t had this (or any other) problems with the pump. For the money, I think this is the best bike pump out there. I have even had to return two previously for issues. I can’t comment on its durability since I’ve only had it for one season, but it certainly does the job up to 110 psi.

Simply not working above 90 psi. I bought this pump for my bike’s 700 x 23 tires which require for my weight a pressure of 115 psi. Shamefully this pump was not able to get air in the tire above 90 psi – even when I put my whole weight on the handlebar (fearful of a serious explosion ) nothing happened.

I picked a Topeak JoeBlow Max since I was very happy with a very similar model of the same brand of a friend of mine.
