Zéfal Z Cross AL review



Zéfal Z Cross AL. I've been using this portable pump for a while, so it's time for some review.

Here's few points:
+ tough material from aluminium,
+ easy maintenance: you can unscrew the back valve cover and put some light oil regularly (a month or so),

# larger size for more air being pumped,
# unique locking mechanism using that o-ring,
# decent pressure: it takes me 60-70 strokes to inflate 700c tube to nice-usable pressure (I'm not particularly working out to do so),
# easy swappable Schrader-Presta valve,

- the valve cover strapped to the thumb lock is a stupid idea, the strap broke after just few days :(
- the thumb lock doesn't work as it's supposed to: it needs no be pulled (only) halfway-through to work properly on Schrader valves.


--figure out the points yourself

Worthy buy I guess. :)
