"Superior product. I wouldn't race w/ one, but for training and/or long multi-day rides it's a must-have. Reliable, rugged a good value. Outstanding customer service, too."danimal123
Ease of use
The hose attachment makes pumping on the side of the road relatively easy, with a greatly reduced risk of breaking a stem. Much better for me than a straight mini pump.
Quality of Construction
Topeak's stuff is bombproof. My pump only comes off on races, and has ridden on my frame for >10000 miles. When you need it, it's there and it works, rain or shine.
Fit
No problem fitting under my front cage.
Comfort
Foot rest and swivel grip make side-of-the-road pumping much less onerous.
Adjustability
Fists Presta and Schraeder valves.
Durability
See "Quality" section. Topeak's stuff may look finky, but it lasts.
Value
Saved my bacon in the middle of nowhere on long randonee rides. Not a bad purchase for $30 total.
Appearance
Mini-floor pump, looks funky but so what??
Customer Service
Topeak's giys are outstanding and have answered questions very quickly on all their products I've owned (and had questions about).
Performance
Peace of mind on long, solo rides...you know it's going to work even when you've forgotten it's there.
Strengths
Durable, easy to use, fits 99% of valves out there (w/ the poss. exception of antique Dunlop valves from the 50s).
Weakness
Heavier than CO2 systems, included holder is useless.

Ease of installation
Not too hard. For the most unobtrusive placement, you need to remove the downtube H2O bottle cage and put the holder underneath it. This puts the pump in a pretty out-of-the way place and you still have the cage available for a bottle. Strangely enough, the holder that comes with the pump sacrifices the cage, to get teh "stealth" model that fits underneath and beside the cage, you have to order it separately from Topeak (pump was $25, extra cage was $5). The guy I spoke with said they were switching over to the preferred kind of holder as the "stock" model, so check and see before you buy.
