TopeakJoeBlow Sport III Floor Pump(Return to Product Page)

Seems to be solidly built. Pumps great, easy to store hose, easy on, easy off, good seal. 2 inflation needles for balls. Gauge is near floor - I suppose I'd prefer a bigger dial and a higher mount, but..... it's a pump and I'm happy with the priceperformance of it. And BTD is always great to deal with.

This is my 3rd Topeak pump. They are all still in service. I've had good and bad experiences with them. However, I'm very handy and their customer service is very good and they'll go out of their way to make you happy within reason. This one I bought for my middle son. My other pumps have universal heads but I must say the dual head of this pump works best with Schrader (fat) valve than the universal head.

I have been cycling for 37 years and in that time I have used many floor pumps. I got this about three months ago and can honestly say that this the best I've ever owned. I use for Presta valve tires and the connection is rock solid. Disconnect couldn't be better. Honestly, this is the pump I have been looking for ever since I started using sewups back in the 70's. Even comes with adapter pin for basketballssoccer balls...etc. If this was stolen, lost, or run over by a car, I would get the same exact model to replace it. No doubt about it.

I waited to review this product till I used it for almost a whole year. Pump is great. I love that it work for both my road bike and my wife's Mtn bike. I have yet to have a single issue with it (unlike other more expensive pumps I've owned). I would certainly recommend this pump to everyone.

Great pump, but tricky to connect to presta valve.

Likes easy to use,easy to read guage with rotating dial to mark psi needed, well made, easy on the wallet.

Dislikes none

Bought it to replace the floor pump I've had for 26 years. It pumps up tires with speed and little effort.

Excellent pump

Excellent pump

Great and versatile pump

I have had 5 or 6 Joe Blow pumps in the last 7 or 8 years. They work great, but parts give out and then the pump doesn't work. Usually it's just one part. Right now I have a Joe Blow Floor pump and there is a screw on cap at the end of the Presta valve that has a crack in it, letting air seep out when I am pumping up my tire. The pump is otherwise fine, but won't work without replacing this part. But since parts do not appear to be available, I think I have to scrap the whole thing. Hoping to find a better brand of pump.

The only pump you need.

I bought this because I have both Presta and Schroeder valves on the bikes and wanted to have a pump that did not need a Presta adapter. It works well, but the lever to set the inflator on the valve is a bit difficult to use. Otherwise, it is solid and seems accurate.

This pump is easy to use because of the small diameter cylinder means low effort and the long pump stroke provides high volume. the pressure gage with its moveable pointer is easy to read and helps insure accurate and consistent pressure settings.

The only negative comment I have is that the double valve is large enough to make hook up and disconnects awkward. Since I have never owned a presta valve tube I would have preferred a schraeder valve only fitting.

This was my third pump and the first that was dependable. Most people I ride with have this pump and each one has been well used and keeps on working. After a few years of group use, I did have to buy a new head after the threads on the stem wore out the rubber, but I found that part online for about $8. Great Pump.

I guess when you are trying to pump your tires up to 150-160 psi, it can get a bit difficult. But at around 100 psi's I started noticing the strain on the pump. I like it, it gets the job done for a good price.

When I first started bike racing, I picked up one of these pumps because it was the cheapest one I could find that looked pretty sturdy. 5 years down the road, it works like new. I am not easy on any bike gear, this pump has been dropped in parking lots, crammed in trunks, left outside overnight and continues to do it's job. It's nothing flashy but it easily seals onto any valve, and easily inflates the tire and is accurate with psi measurement. What more could you want out of a bike pump?

I've had a JoeBlow before and really liked it until it finally wore out, so I thought this one would be great. What I do like about it is that it is sturdy, appears to be made well, the guage is easy to read and can fill tires to 160psi. What I don't like is the difficulty using the pump. NO, the hose IS NOT extra long! It is the shortest hose I've ever used! The head has to be placed on the tire valve very quickly and definitively or air will come out of the opposite side of the head. Securing the pump head to the tire valve requires quite a bit of effort, infinitely more than any other pump I've ever used. For the price (bought on sale) the pump is OK but I'll probably try another brand the next time I need a pump.

When my wife saw this, she said, "Really?", "Joeblow?". I told her we needed to get past that and look at the quality build and ease of use this pump provides. It is easy to use with the dual valve capability, she's a Schrader person, I'm a Presta kinda guy. The multi-tip attached with no problems and stayed put. I just installed new tires/tubes on one of my bikes and this pumped them up from flat to 60psi in like 9 or 10 pumps. In my 50+ years of serious cycling, I've owned a few floor pumps but mostly used hand pumps, so this is a huge upgrade for me. The large gauge is nice, I don't need one that large but I may as my eyes start to fail. After filling the tires, I checked them with two different gauges and they were all within a pound or so. Some of the reviews complained about the plastic base, all I can say is that it is strong and solid. I hope to have another 10-15 years of serious riding ahead of me and I totally expect this to be my last pump purchase. I would buy again but don't think I'll have to.

The biggest problem I've had with pumps is getting them to lock down securely on the on the tube. No so with this pump which also happens to be light and easy to read. Pumping up a tire shouldn't be stressful but I bet we've all had one of those mornings. I've actually given away my two other pumps. My son-in-law has the Blackburn Piston 3 which while a big improvement over my worn out Ascent had the issue I mentioned.

I use it for my two bicycles. A touring bike and a road bike. The very easy to see gauge helps pinpoint the tire pressure I like using for each one of the bikes. A large, metal base helps keep the pump sturdy while pumping.
