Lezyne Digital Pump Guage, Danny Mac Signature Series Tools

Renowned for their clean designs and attention to detail, Lezyne had a myriad of pumps, tools, and lights on display. One item that stood out was their new digital gauge option that is now available for their current pump lineup, with a claimed accuracy of plus or minus three percent. The gauge will add $30 to the price of a pump, or can be purchased as an aftermarket upgrade for $50. Items from Lezyne's Danny MacAskill signature series were also on display, including the Block multitool, which has a CNC-machined body and nickel plated 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 and T25 bits. MSRP: $24.99. Another piece in the signature series collection is the MacAskill Travel Drive pump, which is designed to take up as little room as possible while still remaining a fully functional floor pump. CNC machined aluminum is used for the handle, base, and piston to keep the weight down. MSRP: $99.99

 What a scam, when you lose your multi-tool on the trail, it gets returned to Danny MaCascill. I'm not falling for that one.

 Lezyne are the business. Id buy that pump and put a shade on it and use it as a lamp or something and use the multi tool to help me do it. Too nice to pump tyres with thats for sure.

 Not a bad idea that. Throw the light switch into where the pressure gauge is, power line going in where the hose currently does.
You could then throw on a lamp shade built from spokes (cut short), a cut up jersey (make sure to keep the logo nice and fresh for the light to shine through) and a chain ring for nice circular shape and groovy riding stylings.

 I wouldn't want to stick a switch on that sweet electric gauge! I'd make it so you can use it as a lamp and a pump!

 I'm kind of getting tired of all these new signature series components and what not...Slowly but surely it's all going to become a big marketing ploy, even more than it is now. Frown

 The name 'Trail King' is around 27.5 times less awesome than Rubber Queen. Sort it out Continental!
  • 5 1
 I could buy a better multi-tool with MANY more functions for half the price... Guaranteed.

 But it doesn't say Danny Macaskill on it....

 Sharpie could fix that.

 Not the same though really is it? Deep down you would know its not the real thing and that would just spoil your good times using the tool. Danny Macaskill signature.......accept NO substitute.

 yea, it's like chlamydia, there are no symptoms but you know it's there, and that spoils relationship a bit.

 @dannyhuber the tool is only 25 bucks, so find another tool for $12 with at least ten tools and ill buy that instead.

 Sexy and expensive. Should sell great in America.

 That jersey is sooooo sweet
  • 12 0
 Yes it is but they are so expensive. Im thinking of starting up my own line, half the price of 661 and calling it 330.5. What you think?
  • 1 0
 How do u know the price? They last long so if it looks good why not?
  • 2 0
 Phwet, straight over your head bro, straight over.

 I get the joke about half price but that wasn't what I asked you?
  • 1 0
 OK then, I dont know the price and yes if they look good and last long why not indeed. And the bit about the price was part of the joke so its irrelevant really. Ill be sure to think twice about making such reckless statements in future. If I confused or upset you in any way, then for that I am truly sorry.

 Joke was actually funny. Thinking I did not get it was just silly. Cheers
