Electric pumps

[fossyant]

My feeling is that if you have to use your mini pump on the road so often that it's becoming an inconvenience then maybe you should question your tyre choices for where you ride.

This. I get deflations very rarely, and I'm usually using one of two or three bikes. I just leave a pump in the pannier/hydration pack that goes with each bike (they all take different tubes). So the pannier, and the two different hydration pack contain tubes, puncture kit, pump, tyre levers, waterproof. Does mean I have more stuff, but also means I just pick up the one bag for that bike (commuter, CX bike and FS MTB). Saves a load of messing.

I ride with Schwalbe marathons on the rear and Land cruisers on the front

and I put "goo" in the tubes

so punctures are not common

but then - there is always that long thorn of lump of metal that crops up!

so I need something that will just lie in my rack bag for months unused
but be there are functional when I need it quickly

Just to give some feedback on this thread on the Cyclami pump I bought, well it's rubbish! It did work and work well but now won't hold the charge. I charge it up, try and use it to just top up a tyre and it almost immediately stops and signals Lo battery.
I might try and buy a replacement larger capacity battery but it might be throwing more money after bad.

My advice, steer clear of it. It was the Cyclami HW-125.

I'm now considering getting a COOSPO X1 which seems to review well.

Jeez, my cycplus pump has been used 2 or 3 times by other people (touchwood I've never needed it my self) and there's always been enough charge for them and I'll only recharge after its been used. So it'll hold its charge for months!
