Blackburn Mountain Air Mountain Bike Pump

March 18th, 2010

Blackburn Mountain Air Mountain Bike Pump




Value is king, and the Mountain Air has it in spades, with a high-volume aluminum barrel and sleek shape. The ergonomic head and handle melt into the contours of your hand to increase grip and leverage when in use. Max Pressure: 90 psi / 6.2 bar. Barrell Material: Aluminum. Weight: 148 g / 4.9 oz.

I like the screw on/off mechanism for changing back and forth from schrader to presta. Nice if you have bikes with different valves in the family. The grey plastic chamber makes a nice seal over both of these valves too. It’s a good pump to have on the road/trail for emergencies for a good price. Ride on!

4 Stars Almost perfect
I really like this pump. It is small, easy to use, inflates my bike’s tires in just a few pumps.

What I don’t like about it is the hardware that attaches it to the bike’s frame. It uses Velcro straps and they allow the pump to slip out every now and then (not all the way out, e.g. it did not fall on the road, but enough to start interfering with pedaling). It happened to me once or twice, so it is not a real issue, but if it keeps happening, I may need to come up with a fix for the mounting hardware.

5 Stars It is so good
This small hand pump resolve problems and it is so easy to carry on with you.

5 Stars Space Saving and Effective
This pump works great for typical maintenance of your bike. Unless you are pumping up bike tires all day long, who needs a floor pump that takes up space and cost twice as much or more. This little guy is simple to use, feels sturdy in my hands, is easy to stow, and carries a good warranty. I would definitely recommend this pump.

Big Screen FreeCell

November 8th, 2009

Big Screen FreeCell




Put your Solitaire-playing skills to the test. This on-the-go version of Solitaire lets you play your favorite card game on a large LCD screen with game sound effects. There’s even an auto-light for night-time play. Requires 2 “AA” batteries, not included. Measures 4.35″ W x 1.25″ D x 6.40″ H.

5 Stars I love Big Screen FreeCell
I already had the burgundy freecell game by Radica, and have played it for years. The center roller was not consistently working, so it was time for a new model. After playing the Big Screen model for about a month, I picked up my old game again. I absolutely love the new navigation up & down arrows; this works so much better than the old roller for scrolling. I also quickly realized how much better the lighted screen is. I love this game.

1 Star Buy A Laptop
I imagine this gadget may be adequate for the UltraHardcore Freecell Junkies among us. However, even as big a Freecell Zombie as I am I think this hand held “version” is a useless POS. I find it impossible to differentiate the four suits in any useful way. Yeah, you can see them by squinting but, since there’s no color involved to distinguish hearts and diamonds from clubs and spades, it’s almost impossible to figure out which card should go where. In addition, and, I think, a problem with all these solitare games, is the fact that you cannot see the entire field of cards so you have no idea where the aces are, e.g., without constantly using the “up” and “down” buttons.

In short, this game is pretty much for those who are desperate to play Freecell in the WORST way, because this is truly the worst way I can imagine. If you are totally jonesing for a hit of Freecell and you’re dependant on your desktop, then get yourself a small laptop. Don’t waste your money, as I did, on this toy.

It takes a few minutes to get used to the screen. Reading the instructions really helps!! Once you get the hang of it it’s great. My husband plays this every day. It’s great to cart along to a dental or doctor’s appointment – makes that time in the waiting room seem short!

1 Star Not much fun
I really wanted to enjoy this but it’s not like the game on my computer (as stated in the description) the card piles are all the same and worse, there is no undo button which for those of us just learning the game, is essential. Once you move a card, that is it, no mistakes allowed. Perhaps this game is only for those who really know the game and somehow can make this thing work and have fun. I found only frustration.

5 Stars Big Screen Free Cell
I’m on my second one. I wore one out. I have had it a couple of years. It still works but is getting a little beat up. I play it almost every day. It lights up so it’s easy to see with the lights out. Love it. My Mom’s on her second one also.

5 Stars Great value, nice pump…lifetime warranty!
At about 10.5″ there are smaller frame-mounted pumps out there, but the price is right for the Blackburn Mountain Air.

The pump output is great, and it feels sturdy while pumping. It’s relatively easy to switch between Schrader valves and Presta valves by swapping the orientation of the two inner valve components.

This pump mounts to the frame through the water bottle holder screws, and the mount includes a removable Velcro strap. Two spare screws (with hex heads) are also included if you need them.

With a lifetime warranty, you can’t go wrong. If you want a smaller frame-mounted pump with less output, try the Blackburn Shorty.

4 Stars Just what I expected
Even though I haven’t used the pump yet I can tell that it is very lightweight so I can carry it with me all the time. Quality of it also seems to be very good. Bottom line, good relation of quality and price.
