I haven't tested other E-pumps but you can't go wrong with this one! I've only used it a couple of times to test it (no road flats yet!!) but if feels to be high quality. Size and weight seems to be the same as others that buddies have. Screen is large and readable. Battery seems to hold a charge (tested over a couple of months) and I believe you could get 2-3 inflations of a road tire, as advertised. I have a Magicshine radar taillight (about 8 months old) and couldn't be happier with it, so had a lot of confidence in this brand before purchasing. And with all their products, you can't beat the price!
My Lezyne multi-tool, battery pump tire levels and extra plugs all fit nicely in this saddle bag. The side straps hold it super secure under the seat, however the seat post loop is too big so doesn't grab much of the Velcro. Thankfully less important and I have twisted the non-Velcro side to make it shorter. The bag uses a very protective material. The zipper has a nice pull loop but worry about the zipper threads getting dirty and stop freely sliding. A little larger zipper may alleviate this potential.
For years a did not do a full bleed and only used the cup but now since I had to replace the cable I had to. The kit has all the parts and even the cup is better than the one I had before. The connectors and everything else are quality and work well.
After some research I didn't use the syringe since I did it in reverse with gravity which empties the whole thing. I really recommend that for anyone doing a bleed.
My experience is with Shimano brakes. Haven't done it on my SRAM brakes yet.
I bought this rack to replace my Kuat NV 2.0. There was nothing wrong with my NV 2.0 I wanted a rack that didn't touch any part of the bike frame. I found the Piston Pro X and decided to buy it since it was on sale. This rack is a bit pricey but it's well worth the price. It's a high quality rack and it looks great. It has built in LED lights which is a great feature if you travel a lot with your bikes like we do. The rack also comes with a lock cable that is very thick and strong to lock your bikes to the rack while traveling. The rack is very sturdy and has no lateral movement while driving. It is very easy to load/unload the bikes The bikes sit in the trays and the wheel brackets lock into place ensuring the bikes don't move. I will definitely recommend this rack.
