Silca

I have used LEZYNE floor pump past 3 years or so, and while its screw-on chuck holds well under pressure, I find those screw-on chucks to be a huge hassle to use, especially at the end of a work day when I just want to ride, not fiddle with a chuck, or worse, inadvertently unscrew a two-piece valve and lose all air. That's not fun. So I plunked down about what I paid for my pump, for this chuck, and it holds tight and is easy to apply and disengage. Is it worth it? I think so, since instead of fiddling with my old chuck for 1 or two minutes per tire, this thing takes 5-10 seconds to apply and disengage. That adds up to less frustration, more riding enjoyment, when you ride several times per week. I got it on a Silca sale on BikeTiresDirect, which made the value decent, and the chuck itself is solid and beautifully machined.

This Tattico mini pump is a little heavy, but that is because of its robust construction.

It weighs about as much as 3 , co2 inflators , and if I was using co2 I'd want to carry that many (I've seen too many fail.

I love the attachment head, so easy to use and the flexible tube just pulls out, no need to re-arrange anything. Very well thought out as most Silca products are.

I have this for my road bike and it pumps up to 75psi better than most mini pumps I have tried.

I bought the gravel version, but returned it and got a second Tattico for my gravel bike/tires. It takes a bit longer to inflate than the gravel version , but with my arthritic hands it is much easier to pump(just takes longer).

Excellent pump and BTD is a great place to buy it!

One step hot wax application to factory new chains. What a time saver, and I am very happy with the results.

I was going thru chains and cassettes with an unsatisfactory level of frequncy. I also hated all the time I was spending on wiping, applying, and often getting rags full of dirty grime. With the wax system...my chain purrs...and I can wipe my chain with fingers and they come off clean! Before ordering, I actually went to the ZeroFrictionCycling website...where I was shocked to find the lubricant I was using was proba ly the worst choice of anything they tested. It is no wonder I was burning thru hardware. Silca products are amongst the best...and I am very enthusiastic about switchi g to a cleaner running driveline and being able to get a huge increase in driveline lifespan. A good investment in longer term savings.

I love the thickness and cushion of this tape. When installing you can really torque and stretch it unlike most other cushioned tapes to get it to lay down perfectly. The backing tape is strong but still allows you to undue and readjust if needed. The added butterfly piece for the hoods and the finishing tape are top notch. It doesn't feel or look bulky on the bike but has great dampening and it is nice and grippy. Definitely my got to tape from now on.
