@@Neo_The_One_ Thanks for letting me know. I will contact them again and see if they can extend it.

Thanks for the great comparison!! I was planning on getting the Cycplus but I'm going with the Fanttik based on price alone.

Im all about the Co2 but you can lose a lot when using them and have to use more then one on a total flat. Having those around is great. It helped out in Bentonville! Great review!

Thanks for the great comparison. How about a battery test on the X9. Would love to know how the Fanttik 9 Ace compares to the 8 Ace and 9 Pro.

Nice. I really like the idea of those. The cycplus was super handy when we were in Bentonville, just bummed that I was probably only running 28.75 psi instead of the 30 I wanted 😂

It was all part of my plan to get you a pinch flat 😆

So both require a firm grip to inflate the tire? I want a hands free pump

The thing I don’t like about these mini pumps: 1. reliability. I’m skeptical of long term durability. And when the rare occasion arises where I need it, I just need it to work since it would be replacing a hand pump and air chucks out on the trail while repairing a flat. 2. Charging. Day to day I use my floor pump. So a mini pump like this will be packed into my saddle bag until I need it. But I’m probably not going to need it for a couple months. And batteries don’t hold a charge for months. Or maybe they do? That’s actually a test I’d like to see. Because the idea of staying on top of charging an item I’m rarely using seems unlikely at best.

I guess long term will be something we will all have to discover but very valid. As for charging I had one in my bag for 3 months and it still had more than 3/4 of a charge. So batteries have definitely gotten better at holding a charge.

So the Fanttik was in my cart for a couple weeks. Checked out yesterday. Then Mike posts this video....

Haha destiny

Do you typically overshoot your goal psi with your cycplus knowing it settles at a lower pressure?

Yes I actually do. I love how compact the cycplus is even with the max pro and also the push on design is fast. Even with it being off a little in psi it is so fast I can press the go button several times getting it to the correct psi faster than the fanttik. But both pumps are a great option.

For the money, the Cycsplus should be bang on the pressure. No excuses. The Cycsplus is also less value in that the additional parts it needs to offer additional choices of valve/use of hose, are detachable instead of built in. In this day and age for me this is a lazy mindset when designing this and other than size (Cyc is obviously the choice if carrying in a pocket on a ride), not worth the money in light of what the Fanatic offers for about a third of the price. Excellent review with actual evidence as well as opinions.
