Mini pumps

[PJ79LIZARD]

Does anyone know of a mini pump that fits in a jersey rear pocket that actually inflates tyres well?

Topeak Pocket Rocket.

100psi without tearing your arms off.

What he said ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

It's on my to buy list! I have just ordered one

have a look in this months Cycling Plus+ bit of a group review in there. I'd say anything small made by Lezne will do the job.

What are those ones called that use a little bottle/cartridge pressurised with air?

C02 pumps. One cartridge one inner tube inflated. MTB ones will take a tyre to 60 psi max.

My Crank Brothers fits in a rear jersey pocket. Obviously it sticks out a bit but...

My track pump does as well

The pocket rocket will stick out of a jersey pocket.

Another vote for the Topeak Pocket Rocket. Great bit of kit.

The Pocket Rocket is a wee bit long for a jersey IMO. It's a good pump though and I have one fitted to the frame of my winter bike. For jersey use, I'd go for the Race Rocket or the Lezyne Power Drive (small). These also have screw in hose connections which is another plus in my book. I use the Race Rocket myself.

I really like the size and weight of the Topeak Micro Rocket and it works well for me and unscheduled deflations but I'm not very p'ture prone. They've updated since I bought mine and you can now get one with a T handle and I think there may be one with a gauge too.

They're great for getting you away quickly, but I wouldn't rely on one on it's own. The freezing Co2 eventually cracks the seal on the pump, though smearing a bit of silicon oil on the lip of the cartridge helps (cartridges for gas powered air guns come pre-treated).


In sub zero temperatures the Co2 can be completely ineffective.

Cheers for that. Always useful to know
