Thanks to its integrated compressor function, the Feedback Sports floor pump promises to make the whole process a breeze. We put the Pneuma CC Floor Pump to the test!Feedback Sports Pneuma CC Floor Pump I 1,936 g I 99 I Manufacturers websiteAt first glance, the Feedback Sports Pneuma CC looks like an ordinary floor pump. But appearances can be deceiving. The Pneuma CC combines the functionality of a conventional floor pump with an integrated pressure tank, neatly hidden away without any additional components.

Is this the tool weve been missing for hassle-free tubeless setups at home, without a noisy compressor? And is it worth buying?Feedback Sports Pneuma CC Floor PumpThe Key Facts at a GlancePrice: 99Weight: 1,936 g Type: floor pump with integrated pressure tankValve compatibility: Presta, Schrader and ClikSpecial feature: switch between pressure tank and regular pump without any conversionGeneral use allgemein: home workshop, tubeless installation and tire pressure adjustmentSuitable for: gravel, road, MTB, trekkingTested use: tubeless installation on a road bike and XC bikeWhat Exactly is a Floor Pump with a Pressure Tank? This type of pump combines a conventional floor pump with a reservoir to store compressed air. You first use the pump to manually pressurise the integrated tank. Flip the lever and the stored air is released into the tire in one powerful burst. This sudden blast of air pushes the tubeless tire straight into the rim bed. It does exactly what youd otherwise need a noisy workshop compressor for.Feedback Sports Pneuma CC Floor Pump Review What Can this Compressor Floor Pump Do?It doesnt take long to see what the Pneuma CC is capable of. The robust body and wide steel base form a stable unit, keeping the pump firmly planted even when you put some muscle into it. In our test, it seated tubeless tires without any problems on both the road bike and XC bike, and that was true for every different tire we tried. This is despite the pump being noticeably slimmer, and having a smaller tank volume than some competing models. We tested it with standard Presta valves. However, if youre dealing with heavily gummed-up valve cores or a particularly stubborn tire, the Pneuma CC Floor Pumps smaller tank could reach its limits. In that case, the blast of air might not hit the tire with enough pressure.It takes ten strokes to fill the tank, with the resistance only becoming noticeable after around seven. The pump remains easy to operate up to roughly 7 bar. The air release feels slightly slower, but its still more than sufficient to seat a tire. Thanks to the high volume per stroke, the pump shifts plenty of air with every push. Another plus is its comfortable height, which made the Pneuma CC Floor Pump a good fit for taller riders in our test, too. The elongated pump head and long hose make pumping noticeably easier. The head works directly with Presta, Schrader and Clik valves, with no conversion required. Attaching it to the valve and removing it again is effortless, with very little air loss. For storage, the hose runs neatly along the pump body where it is secured with a clip. Theres also a handy accessory compartment built directly into the handle, with room for tools and adapters The body of the Pneuma CC Floor Pump feels robust, with cleanly finished edges. Another positive is that wear parts such as the pump head, hose, O-rings and clip are available as spares. The foot lever is made of plastic. How well the mechanism will hold up over time if you accidentally press down too hard remains to be seen. A small click mechanism when the lever engages, providing tactile feedback, would be a useful addition it could help prevent you from applying too much force.Ergonomically, the rubberised plastic handle of the Pneuma CC Floor Pump works well, although riders with very large hands might appreciate another 3 to 4 centimetres of width. The low-mounted pressure gauge doesnt get in the way in everyday use, though the bar markings are very small compared to the PSI scale.DThe stable, wide base gives the Pneuma CC Floor Pump a solid footing while the ergonomically shaped handle provides excellent control when pumping.No wobbling or slipping while you pump.In a nutshell: the Pneuma CC seated every tubeless tire we tested on our road and XC bikes without any problems. The compact pressure tank is sufficient for typical tubeless setups, but it can reach its limits with particularly stubborn tires or gummed-up valve cores.Who is the Feedback Sports Pneuma CC Floor Pump For?The Pneuma CC Floor Pump is right for you if you Want to make tubeless tire installation easier Are short on space Need a floor pump for everyday useThe Pneuma CC Floor Pump isnt right for you if you Are looking for a portable roadside solution or a professional workshop toolWould We Buy the Feedback Sports Pneuma CC Floor Pump?Yes.
