This is a review of the
Serfas model FP-200 floor pump. MSRP $45.00 when tested. The first thing that
you notice right away is the stylish design, and the sturdy construction of the
pump.
The gage is easy to read
and near the top of the pump. I prefer it that way over placing it at the
bottom. They also placed a small clasp
at the top of the pump to hold the handle down. That’s another nice feature to
have when tossing it into the trunk to head out to a race or just a trail ride.
Next is the pump head. By
far the best thing I have used in a long time. It’s a non complicated valve
. Just press it on and flip the lever, and that’s it. You’re good to go.
I have been using this
pump for about six months now, and it’s been flawless. The gage is very accurate. That’s
a huge plus when running tubulars during Cyclocross season when you have to set
your pressure at 28psi. In the summer ,when you’re at your local Crit race and
running at 110psi, you know you will be spot every time. The only drawback is my wife liked the pump
so much that I may have to her one. Thank goodness they come in different colors.
