High volume / high pressure settings don't seem to make much difference. Tough to grip - this thing needs a handle like the classic! Verdict Admittedly I haven't used this pump on a super fat tire yet (29er or otherwise) but on a regular old 26x2.10 this pump didn't perform as well as the classic Mammoth. The switch seems a bit gimmicky to me - air volume wasn't noticeably greater on the low pressure setting. Skip this pump unless you rock 29-inch wheels on your Pugsley.
