For cycling repairs you canb either torque things or go with your gut - the problem is that going with your gut can end with cracked carbon or something that is too loose. The kit includes a bunch of bits, and a T handle ratchet that can be assembled in many ways. The torque tube is used to tighten things to a specific torque, and there is an alternate tube that is used for loosening. When you loosen you do not want to use the torque tube - if you go past its limits, you will ruin the torque tube. The package is compact so you can carry it, and there are plenty of bits to get the job done

I'm using Reserve Fillmore valves so I wasn't able to inject this stuff but I still used a sealant injector to get it into the tire without making a mess and it did not clog. I've already had a small puncture that sealed but it did take a while, it was close to the sidewall and I probably didn't have enough sealant in the tire to be honest. I didn't look at the recommended amount for the size tires I'm using so I should have added 15-20ml more. Assuming this stuff lasts at least a few months and the fiber foam stays suspended in the sealant rather than gathering along the tire bead making it less effective then I will buy it again. It is expensive but so far so good and it is a vast improvement over the original stuff as far as usability goes.

As far as floor pumps go..,these are pricey. That said'I really wanted to try out all the great features. The pump comes ready to clip onto a presta valve with the easy to use Hiro Chuck. The Hiro Chuck can be removed, leaving a Schraeder Chuck. The gauge comes in automatically, and is very accurate. Fantastic parts availability and Warranty. The hose is perfect'it can be secured neatly for transport. It is long, and since it is attached higher up'it can reach your tires, even when the bike is in a stand or bike rack behind your car.

The version I received has a quick connect Schraeder Chuck. It connects to the Hiro quickly and easily, and you can twist the Hiro in a bit to snug up the connection. You can fiddle with the knurled top to adjust the grip of the rubber Chuck liner' and with a little practice'it is very easy to get connected and air up. Try not to open the presta valve more than a turn to a turn + 1/2' that makes for a clean disconnect without air loss from the tire. You will still air release from the hose.

Enthusiastic to be able to keep this pump serviced and performing to peak level for many years to come.

This pump has been on my want list for a long time, the only thing that held me back from purchasing previously was the price. It was just too hard to justify spending over $300 on a pump when the pump I had was still working. Fortunately, a sale came along that was just too good to pass up.

This pump is everything that I wanted it to be. The action is smooth and the pumping is nearly effortless. The digital display is absolutely amazing. The ability to set a threshold pressure after which the display blinks is great, however, even without that feature, the pump would still be spectacular.

The Hiro chuck does take some getting used to. I had to adjust the tightness a few times to get it dialed-in, also, I have found that having the value at the bottom of the wheel (6 o'clock position) is best, otherwise the weight of the chuck tends to mess with the seal on the presta valve. After figuring those things out, the process is now easy and quick to get my tires exactly where I need them to be.

I am using the pump primarily on road clinchers. I run 30 and 32mm GP5000 tires with either latex or TPU tubes. Latex tubes generally require some attention before each ride, with this pump I actually look forward to inflating my tires because the pump is such a pleasure to use. Finally, I was also able to use this pump to seat and inflate my Conti Race King 2.0 mtn bike tires (used for gravel) on 9Velo gravel wheels with absolutely no problems.
