The main material is durable Aluminum not plastic. Aluminum construction makes this pump very light. So the profitability is great. Each stroke produced by Blackburn AirStik SL Bicycle Frame Pump is increased (almost 30% than the competition) by making the inner sliding handle hollow and part of the compression chamber.

As a frame pump, it provides a nice mounting bracket which you can use to attach the pump to your bike’s frame. Or don’t use the bracket, just put it in your wedge bag or saddle bag.

This pump is great for an urban, touring, hybrid, road bike. If you have a mountain bike, you may need a large bump to inflate the tire with more volume. If your bike is a road bike, you may need a larger pump to get higher pressure. But many people’s bike only need 60-80 lbs pressure and their bike tires are about 26″ x 38 to 700 x 35. This bike pump can do good job for them.

Many people many have a problem with their tires while they are riding. So carrying essential tools is a intelligent method. Many people may carry a spare tube, self-adhesive patches, and a CO2 pump.
