i've got a frame-mounted topeak pump and it is indeed excellent, and it's on the commuter.

on the fancy-dan summer bike, i've a mini-pump as a back-up to the co2 inflators in the bottle cage toolbag…

I've resurrected this thread. I'm looking to buy a good mini pump to take out with me; one that fits both presta and schrader valves. At the moment, I have one of these which i can attach onto the frame of my bike:

Folks on here have spoke highly of this one and indeed I have had no problems and don't know whether just to keep this. Folks on here have also recommended this one:

http://www.tredz.co.uk/.Lezyne-Pres...906231d7b4842a&utm_source=aw&utm_medium=78888

Would the Lezyne pump fit into the fitting I have on the frame (the one for the pocket rocket) or would this be a different size?

https://www.topeak.com/global/en/products/Pumps/233-PocketRocket says it is 22.2 x 4.2 x 2.5 cm. 8.7” x 1.7” x 1.0”

http://www.lezyne.com/product-hpumps-hp-pressdrive.php doesn't give a size. Lezyne are annoying shoot. https://www.amazon.com/Lezyne-Pressure-Drive-Hand-Pump/dp/B007KJD73Q says 8 x 4 x 2 inches so I think it's likely to be too fat for the Topeak's clip and you'd have to buy a new one. Or just keep it in/on your bag.

I'd stick with what you'd got rather than switch to Lezyne because I think they're annoying shoot... but if you want to upgrade, consider the Topeak Morphs, some of which look like they might fit the same clip.

Topeak Speed Master Blaster is good and actually works (it has some length)
Dual heads work far better than the *one size fits all* heads on some floor pumps.

I stopped carrying a pump about 3 years ago after getting fed up with the amount of effort required to reflate the tyre after changing the inner tube beside the road; about 5 mins to change the tube over, then another 20 mins frantic pumping away to get anything like reasonable pressure in the tyre. I've used a CO2 inflator ever since.

Are these two pumps (one from Amazon and one from Tredz) the same pump:
Look like it. Given Tredz aka Half-odds and their stock fibs, they probably order theirs from Amazon when it's ordered.
