Schwinn Aluminum Frame Pump Review.
"Great little pump" 2009-09-09
By AcornMan (Denver, CO)
I have used this pump on Schrader and Presta valves and it worked brilliantly on both. I was able to get good air pressure into the new tubes and complete my rides as if nothing had gone wrong.
A couple of the pump's features are particularly nice. First, I like how it not only snaps into the holder that attaches to the frame but also has a velcro strap to hold it securely in place. No worries about it ever falling off no matter how bumpy your ride, and I can leave it on while my bike is on my car rack. Second, while pumping there's a lever to hold the nozzle firmly over the tube stem so it doesn't leak or slip off. In short, this pump did exactly what it was supposed to do, and you certainly can't beat the price.
"Works well for my comfort/hybrid bike" 2009-10-06
By Ashok Krishnamurthy (Cincinnati, OH USA)
I needed a basic portable pump for my Giant Sedona hybrid and bought this pump based on its reviews and the attractive price. It works well - ie. frame mounts well and satisfies the pressure needs for my comfort/hybrid bike tires (they don't need more than 100psi max that this one provides).
"Schwinn Mini Pump" 2009-01-05
By M. Turchin (NY, NY)
I bought the Schwinn mini pump from Kmart today, and I can say that I am very happy with my purchase. It was very easy to install on my bike where the water bottle would mount if I had one. It hangs off to the side so that you can even still mount a bottle holder there (but is small enough that it doesn't get in the way), and comes with extra long screws so that you wont come up short on installation even if you have extra accessories. The pump is easy to use, and has 2 slots for the 2 different types of air nozzles (which came in handy b/c my bike has both nozzle types: Presta in the front and Schrader in the back). It's sturdy, and looks/feels well made. It's new, so it hasn't had a chance to break, yet. But if anything goes wrong I'll be sure to post another review
"Perfect frame pump for a perfect price." 2009-09-03

This quality Schwinn made, frame mounted bike pump is half of the price of other pumps and is just as great or better. The Velcro strap keeps the pump in place while riding and the fold out handle makes tire inflation a little bit easier.
"nice pump for on the road" 2009-12-04
By I. Durham
This pump does the job. Fits on the frame nicely and is easy to install. You could probably use it as your main pump, although I think most people will be happier with a standard floor pump. I have only used mine a few times, when I need air away from my home and don't have my main pump handy. Each time I've had to use it though, it's worked well and it's still in great shape. A good value, I think-- especially when you're out of air a need it!
