As the title says! I need a new one!
Will confess to never having used this but I like a sale item, small on the frame, and very easy to attach even for a technical incompetent like me

Does both presta and schraeder valves I believe
+1Lezyne pressure drive pump (about £28 ) very small,light and a 120psi output (or close to it)
Bought one of these Topeak mini thingys from Evans which has a 120psi capability with the dual valve type hose. I took it home and unscrewing the adaptor to deal with the Schrader type valve pumped away like mad to inflate tyres on an old mountain bike that had almost completely flat rubber. After a hundred pumps (I counted) there seemed to be little or no improvement. I then moved to the back tyre and a hundred pumps later.....bu**er all difference. I decided to give up and go and have a brew planning to return later. As I went back towards the kitchen I screwed the adaptor back into the pump intending to write a scathing review on here when I noticed that, yes, you guessed it, I had the nozzle in the wrong position. Recovering quickly I went back to the bike and after about a hundred thrusts the front looked about right. A hundred more and the rear also had pressure although I've no idea how much. Overall I'd say this is a good little pump as long as you don't give it to an idiot to operate!I believe I have that one. Very good, very reliable and very small!
