You can trust Cycling Weekly.
Designed for professional use, the Air Tower has a robust metal construction, with fully serviceable internals.
The Presta-only head features a bleed valve for adjustment, which is just as well, given that the floor-level dial doesn't have the largest digits.
We have one big niggle, through, and that is with the head - it has no clamp, so it relies on the rubber seals' friction to hold it in place.
