Iwan Kemp Posted March 17, 2014 Share 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 Share A great pump, hi volume on each stroke, the gauge is easy to read and the twinhead means the wheelbarrow is easy to inflate. Iwan Kemp and Pure Savage 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtbreath Posted March 18, 2014 Share 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. Skylark and Dan Dob 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rouxtjie Posted March 18, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ride it Posted March 21, 2014 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob K Posted March 22, 2014 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob K Posted March 22, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
