I may decide to buy a mini floor pump, but I'll leave it for now and see how I go with this one. Mine is a Blackburn Mtu AAP-1 A.I.R.

I get 100psi with this Topeak Mini DX Master Blaster Pump with Gauge It starts to get difficult after about 80psi, but it does get there, mind you only had to use it twice, since I got it in July.

The older I get, the faster I used to be ...
I have one of these in the saddlepack. I am surprised at just how much pressure you can get into a tyre with it, especially if you can support it and the wheel rim - against e.g. a gate rail, or car bumper, so that you don't have to hold the pump in position on the valve.
 
Lezyne ABS V2 mini pump: I bought it as 'the best mini pump on the market' - yesterday I had my first puncture after being rear ended by another bike in a big group that stopped suddenly...

I had great trouble getting the pump to start inflating (Presta) and I've tried it at home to see if I'm missing something but I can't get it going. The valve is open (I've tried it half open and fully open) - is there something you have to do with the ABS button? I thought that was just to release hose pressure after you've pumped it up. What else can there be to do except screw it on and start pump? It did work eventually but wasted a lot of time by the raoadside.
