I've just changed from a Blackburn Air Stik (2004 model) to a Topeak Pocket
Rocket MasterBlaster DX - where do they get these names?!
The Air stik was ok, but I never managed to get my tires to 100psi, let
alone the claimed 160psi maximum. Pumping with the Blackburn became a bit of
a struggle after about 80psi.
The Topeak, on the other hand, is amazing. It goes to 110psi without much
effort at all, so you could easily go higher if that's your thing! It's also
a very light pump, around 100g.
Of course, these pumps are basically used to get you home after a flat or
puncture, so you shouldn't expect (nor do you get) floor pump performance.
Cheers,
Tony.
