Lezyne Products

[VEA]

How do we rate their products on here?

I recently signed up to Sports Pusuit and the seem to have some rather good offers on Lezyne Pumps and lights at the moment.

Cheers

In my experience, expensive but well made and attractive.

They certainly do look good!

To give you and example...

My riding buddy has just bought a set of these as backup lights in case his main lights give up the ghost on a ride. They certainly look nice, weight wise they are easy to slip into your jersey without garotting yourself but IMHO the Knog Strobes are much brighter.

I actually bought a Pressure Drive as a main pump (student, so I'm not blessed with a lot of storage space and need to move frequently). I actually thought my previous topeak pump felt better made - it had that reassuring solidness the lezyne doesn't, and pumps on the upstroke as well as down - but it actually works very well. Small, light, capable of 110psi (though you're forearm muscles will lend you a 'discovering yourself' look, but that'd be true of any mini pump), the flexible hose means you're not damaging the valve. Thumbs up.

So far, I've only used their pumps and saddle-packs. Both have been ace. Will not entertain the idea of buying a pump from another manufacturer again. I have a 'Road Drive' http://www.lezyne.com/products/hand-pumps/high-pre... in white (to match the bike, nat'), but you can buy a slightly (vastly?) more expensive version in carbon fibre if you have deep enough pockets. Looks fabulous and is faultless in use. I doubt you would regret buying any of their stuff really. I made the mistake of 'buy cheap, buy twice' more times than I care to remember in the past, but since experiencing the quality of the Lezyne gear, it's a mistake I won't make again on critical items like pumps and tools.

I have a Carbon Drive Lite and it is a thing of both function and beauty, although they are clearly quite proud of it.
For lights, I prefer these guys though - http://www.exposurelights.com/

I bought a Lezyne compact pump recently and it's a pain in the arse.
If I need to pump a tyre up at home I use a non- compact of another make.

The Lezyne is good at letting air out of tyres, not so good at putting it in.

For my pump, the screw connector was a massive plus point. Different things for different people, I guess.

I've got the classic floor pump and do not rate it. It seems slow to inflate and the connector is a screw type, which is a pain to put onto presta valves. I've used much better track pumps in the past, but I was sold on the good looks.

I have an alloy floor drive and it puts in between 10 and 12 PSI on every full stroke.

The only complaint I had was that it kept unscrewing my valve extensions, so I bought the ABS pressure release head and that solved the problem, now it's perfect.

Also own both the small and medium pressure drives for taking out and about, can't fault either of those

I have the same pump and love it. The screw on connector is great and makes it perfect for pumping up my tubs to 160psi

Was a PITA before with the push on type connector.

Used my Lezyne Co2 inflater this Sunday and it worked perfectly, the fact it screws onto the valve means it doesn't end up wasting a couple of canisters getting it lined up.

Well it seems the general consensus is that it is all pretty good stuff then (bar a couple of you).

Looks like I am going to go for the High Volume Micro Floor Drive Pump (inc guage).

Check max psi on that. I have their ally floor pump and was going to buy the high vol version but it won't do road tyres. I opted for the normal version which does both.
