Recommend me a travel bike pump?

[nezbutz]

Hi
Can anyone recommend a good travel pump? At the moment I have a Topeak Mini Gauge Master Blaster and I swear it sucks half the air it puts in back out! I get more knackered pumping a tyre up with this than the actual bike ride!

It doesn't have to be tiny because I can put it in a rucksack or attach it to the outside. I just need something that is easy to use and pumps a good amount of air in as little effort possible haha!

Cheers!

I got this very pump for my birthday. Absolutely fantastic pump!

Another for the Lezyne Micro Floor Drive. I could not believe how easy it was to use/get tyres up to a decent pressure. Its mainly carried in my rucksack for my commute, but otherwise strapped to the road bike.

Just googled it: Montegrappa, isn't it?

Topeak pocket rocket here. Its never let me down and will put 100+psi in quickly and without breaking sweat.

I do like lezyne pumps too.

Nice bike!

Thanks lads . Even though shes mine i`ll have to agree with you

Just googled it: Montegrappa, isn't it?

It`s the Campagnolo Xenon Escape (2012 I think). I got it for £239 off a local seller on ebay. New seat, tyres, pedals and bar tape have made a difference.

FORZA ITALIA

If you really want to travel light, http://www.wiggle.co.uk/lifeline-essential-mini-pump/ but it takes a while and won't do modern road tyres (max 80psi). Otherwise put a mini track pump on the bike - don't put it in a rucksack because you don't want your back landing on a metal bar in the unlikely event of a crash.

Thanks for all the help! Looks like the Lezyne Micro Floor Drive is the one to go for!

The Lezyne looks the business, but if you (or anyone else) wants a cheaper option, the Zefal frame pump ..http://www.evanscycles.com/products/zefal/rev-88-frame-fit-pump-ec039525 is cheap, simple option and just springs into place under your toptube or down the seat tube.

Had mine years, very efficient for the money.
