Iwan Kemp Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 The idea behind designing and manufacturing a floor pump seems simple. Build one that will inflate a wheel and have a reliable, trustworthy gage. You only have to look at Topeak's range of floor pumps to realise it's not that easy, especially when taking the added demands of mountain bikers into consideration. Enter Topeak's JoeBlow Mountain.

carbon29er Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 A great pump, hi volume on each stroke, the gauge is easy to read and the twinhead means the wheelbarrow is easy to inflate. Pure Savage and Iwan Kemp 2
Dirtbreath Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 Great pump but with the increased volume it struggles to reach high pressures so it is as intended to be a mtb specific pump. Tried to pump a mates wheelchair tyres to 9 bar and really struggled. Dan Dob and Skylark 2
rouxtjie Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 Yip +1 to previous posts....great pump, high volume, made properly and you can even get TR seals going with this bad boy. NOT A ROAD PUMP....big volume <> high pressure Great buy
Andro Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 Have one I bought like in 2005 from Lifestyle centre at Tyger Manor, if I recall. Inflate my mtb and Road bike tires fine. Taken up to 10Bar.. no problem.

Ride it Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 I'm looking for a pump for the "tech zone" at my kids XCO. Needs to have the ability to seat tubeless tires. Seem like this is capable, anyone had any experience actually doing this with the pump? Would appreciate the feedback.
arendoog Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 I have had one since 2004 .Still going strong.Seating a new tyre impossible ,but reseating after topup is always possible

Rob K Posted March 22, 2014 Posted March 22, 2014 Presta or Schrader valves Where can one purchase replacements - mine seems to have worn out and won't stay on the tube valve unless I hold it in place?
Rob K Posted March 22, 2014 Posted March 22, 2014 Ok EDIT I just found out that Presta or Schrader valves are the tube valves. I need the little rubber washers inside the Pump Nozzle - which I suspect are worn. Thanks in advance. Rob
Iwan Kemp Posted March 27, 2014 Author Posted March 27, 2014 R630 @ Cycle Lab Fourways. That's a bargain for a pump that will last you several years.
carbon29er Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 How much are they?I've just bought a batch and I am selling them for R549
