PUMPS/CO2 INFLATORS
2010 Blackburn AirTower HP Pump
The bigot in us loved that our old floor pump came with a Presta-only head. With a brass chuck and simple rubber internals, it was easy to use. Our buddies with cheap bikes that had schrader valves wouldn't get anything if they walked away with it. It's this prejudice that rears up when we look at ...read more
2010 Blackburn AirTower 4 Pump
There is no shortage of good floor pumps out there; most are pretty hard to differentiate from one another. Blackburn's AirTower 4 looks like most of them. Looks can be deceiving, though: The pumping performance of the AirTower 4 is a cut above. Start with the bottom. Check out that base. ...read more
2010 Blackburn Frame Pump CF
You know that one of our bugs, a bee that is almost perpetually in our bonnet is how full-size frame-fit pumps are disappearing from bikes. They are supremely useful and so very PRO. Yes, we know about all the shaped carbon tubesets out there, but trust us, more can fit pumps than you think. We ...read more
2010 Blackburn AirTower 3 Pump
A single head that can grab Presta valves, valve extenders, and Schrader valves, all with a single thumb-lever. It's a cool trick; Blackburn's AirTower 3 does it and does it well. Even experienced riders have trouble with some of the Presta/Schrader two-sided or twin-opened heads. This AnyValve ...read more
2010 Blackburn AirStik 2Stage Pump
We find ourselves in an internal debate between the Blackburn AirStik 2Stage and the AirStik SL -- faster pumping or smaller size. If you need it on your bike for a race, do you want to save 26g or have almost twice the air volume per stroke? We go back and forth, but the greater air volume ...read more
2010 Blackburn AirStik SL Pump
What ever happened to the pump peg? Whenever we look at mini-pumps, and the Blackburn AirStik SL is no different, we find ourselves longing for a way to mount a full-size frame pump under the top tube of our bike. They were so easy. Even the plastic Silca pumps were better than most of the ...read more
2010 Silca Pista Pump
We grew up with the Silca Pista Pump, and the older guys we started racing with wouldn't be caught dead with anything less. It was the must-have pump if you were a serious bike racer. Admittedly, there's been a multitude of pumps to hit the market in the last 15 years -- some good, some not. But ...read more
2010 Silca Super Pista
The Silca Super Pista was introduced as a higher volume alternative to the venerable Pista that we've all had since back in the day. When we tried to fill our mountain bike tires, we realized the small volume/high pressure Pista, while perfect for road tires, meant way too much exertion to fill a ...read more
2010 Silca Hose with Reversible Presta/Schrader Head
Silca pumps last almost forever. This is usually the first thing you'll need to replace (on your pump's 10th birthday or so). You get a hose and a fresh pump head with all new head internals.
2010 Silca Disc Wheel Adapter
If you're getting ready to race with a disc wheel on your bike, you'd better have one of these 90 degree pump heads so you can air up your tire. Simply thread this onto the end of your Silca floor pump hose, or push it into the valve of a standard Schrader head. Then just air up your disc like ...read more
