Lezyne Fans...
I think I'm going to get all of my accessories from Lezyne
(except where another manufacturer produces a superior product).
They seem to really think things out and they seem to produce the
best quality accessories around and I find the prices very reasonable.
Anybody out there using their stuff?

I have two of their pumps - an Alloy Floor Drive (in blue), and I take along their Pressure Drive hand pump which attaches between my bottle cage and frame. To me the best thing about the Lezyne pumps is the Flip-Thread Chuck. Simple-, elegant-, design that works perfectly every time and is rock-solid. I've tried many and nothing comes close to these Lezyne pumps. I'll never go back to a pump with a non-threaded chuck.
Also, their customer service is excellent. I once used the Alloy Floor Drive to blow up one of those big Swiss therapy balls, and even though they are low-pressure I guess the shear size of it created some substantial back pressure that damaged something inside of the pump. I explained to them what happened and Lezyne replaced it free of charge with no questions asked.

one thing you shouldn't use with a lezyne road drive pump are lower quality inner tubes. My experience was with vredestein inner tube on which after unscrewing the valve attachment, the whole valve assembly came off from the inner tube.

it's not a lower quality tube. some tubes have removable stems while others (e.g. michelins) don't

I like their stuff. I've got the Pressure Drive that I move between my road bike and commuter. It works well.
I also keep a pair of the Sabre Levers in my panniers because my commuter is non-quick-release on the rear. I recently had to use those tire levers on a very tight wheelbarrow tire. They worked well.
I have one of their M-Caddys on my road bike carrying a Topeak Hexus 16, patch kit, CO2 regulator and canister, and spare tube. Tight fit.

I have a cnc floor pump and a frame pump. I bought a slip on chuck for the floor pump but have given up on that. It just doesn't stay on and seal very well. Everything else works very well.

It's nice stuff and I would (and likely will) buy from them again but I have a story to relate. A couple of weeks ago my Rival RD was acting weird--but that's another story--so I stopped on the side of the road to work on it. I pulled my Lezyne mulit-tool out of my Lezyne seat bag and it was in several pieces. The screw that holds it together had loosened from the road vibrations. It's just a little strange to have to repair your tools.

Lezyne Microcaddy saddlebags are nice. They only wrap around the rails and no velcro on the seatpost, minimizing the chance of ripping your bibs.

It's often the core that's to blame. They're not torqued down very well. I've unscrewed a few cores inadvertently but once I put the core back in securely I didn't have any more problems.

I've had to use my medium Pressure Drive a few times, now. Properly supporting yourself and the pump, I've had no problems getting my tires up to 110-115 psi. I'm very, very happy with it.

I like their stuff. They're a bit pricier than the others, but I have enough broken levers and worthless mini pumps to realize that you often get what you pay for. I have the road drive and carbon drive frame pumps, several sets of their alloy levers, and a couple of their mini tools. So far I have been happy with everything.

I have been using the Lezyne Steel Floor Drive pump for the past month, and it works great. Very solid build - wooden pump handle, thick/solid steel feet, nice long hose, accurate gauge, and the Flip-thread chuck works alot better for me then the lever style. Yes I would/will buy Leyzne products again.

Have the V-5 in the saddlebag, my LBS should have my Pressure Drive M by Friday. So far I really like their design and execution. The V-5 is dinky compared to my old Topeak Hexus.

FIFY -- I was searching for Lezyne the other day and couldn't remember how to spell it. I want one of their frame pumps, but I have a workable Road Morph so I'm not all that motivated to buy one.
If anyone ever has an embarrassing spelling error in the title of one of their threads, or is really annoyed by the spelling in the title of someone else's thread, report a post and ask for the thread title to be changed. I'll do it.

I'm a major Lezyne fan. A year ago I had never heard of them but thanks to BF I started seeing a lot of glowing reviews. I have the Alloy Floor Pump and the Small Pressure Drive micro pump.
I use the Floor Pump every day. I love it. Thread on the chuck, pump up to 120psi and unthread. No issues. Gauge is accurate. Couldn't be happier.
The Pressure Drive is also awesome. Takes a lot of work to get to 100psi but it works and it does it without issue. I've had the water bottle shared pump mount and it's awesome. I leave my pump on it and seem to forget it's there. I have 2000 miles on my bike now and it's not loose at all. Solid as a rock and the velcro strap has never allowed the pump to rattle.
Again, I'm a big fan of Lezyne products and usually post in most Lezyne threads. They have a believer in me.

I normally make do with middle of the road stuff (other than my Red shifters), but after having two valve stems broke off using my old minipump, i decided to go upmarket & couldn't be happier
as for the pump mount, it fits under the bottle cage & comes with an velcro strap to tie things down. my pump actually flew off once when i didn't tie it down, but it's fine otherwise.
