What pump?

Lezyne

Get the medium size, not small

The basic rule of pumps is that big ones work better than small ones, so frame fit (HPX or Road Master Blaster) is better than clip to bottle cage is better than pocket.
Design helps, but struggles to jump a size category, so a Road Morph (which is fairly sizeable for a clip on pump) is about the same as a small frame fit like a size 1 HPX.

Another vote for a medium size Lezyne - it will put reasonable pressure into a roadie tyre as well as pushing the volume for a hybrid.

The hose design is good on the road because you don't have to grip the dirty tyre to attach or pump, which you end up doing with clip-ons for fear of snapping the valve.

When I bought my hybrid I bought a Topeak Pocket Rocket pump - it has both Schrader and Presta valves which you switch round - I've never used it though but have tested it and it seems ok - is this one good enough or should I really buy a better one, so as I'm not caught short. This is the one I currently have:

Due to my skinny climbers upper body I really need a pump with a hose and ideally a 'compact track pump' format to be able to get a decent pressure in a road tyre. Being able to put the bottom of the pump on the ground and lean on it is a great advantage. I have a Topek mini morph and a bike hut version both of which get in the vicinity of 100psi with 200 strokes, neither came with bottle cage side mounts so have been bodged to other mounts I have from old pumps.

This ^^ - hoses should be mandatory. Never mind snapping the valve: bending the valve is worse, potentially leaving you unable to either pump it up or deflate it without stabbing the tube!

Not this one though....

Lezyne mini pump to get it going and a co2 to top up when on the 'road' bikes and a mini track pump on the commuters a bit like this;

Another vote for the lezyne pressure drive, I've the mini and it does the job.

Will have to check the brand of mini pump on my bike. LBS said it was good, I trust them. It has certainly helped a couple of fellow cyclists I stopped to help, got them pumped up and on their way in no time

Just CO2 for me, never had a problem with it.

Ye, that's a great pump and will do everything you need it to (and I recommended it on page one )

Topeak pump is good, but I'd still swap it for the lezyne just for the flex hose. Cracking little pump. I've got one as a backup for the CO2 inflator. Gets up to 100 or so psi without too much difficulty.

 

[slowmotion]

Lezyne Road Drive. It's got a flexible hose that works, not a fixed head that is a PITA.
BTW, they are rather well engineered too.

I've had problems with the Lezyne pump unthreading removable valve cores. Make sure you do them up tight.
