Which mini-pump?

[Arch]

I've got a Topeak Road Morph pump that I carry in my pannier on the uprights, but it's just too long to fit in the Catrike's sidepods. I like the Road Morph, so I'm thinking of getting the mini version. Anyone got one, or got any other recommendations for trackpump type minis? Whatever I get needs to be shorter than 28cms.

And budget is 'the smaller the better'...

I have one of these http://www.evanscycles.com/products/bontrager/air-support-mini-pump-ec017727 and really like it. It's tiny and pumps tyres pretty quickly.

I liked the look of the Bontrager Air Support Mini Pump above. However, it was a bit bulkier than I wanted as I was after a mini pump that would fit in my Topeak Aero Wedge Large saddle bag. I then decided to get the Topeak Rocket Micro AL Pump which supposedly will inflate to 160psi.

Personally I'd recommend that you also pick up a CO2 pack. I also got the Bontrager CO2 Air Pack. You can then use this for any major tyre inflating and use the pump for any top-ups that are needed.

Arch, I asked the same question a short while back, and loads of people piled in with advice......

I went for a Lezyne Road Drive because I have had a load of grief with fixed head pumps and liked the idea of a flexible hose. It comes with a really nifty frame mount but is small enough to stash in a bag as well. It really works well. Yes, it probably costs a bit more than some others, and there are alternatives.

Good luck.

Ah, thanks for that, I knew I'd seen something recently, but didn't look hard enough.

I should have said, I'd also prefer a flexible hose, hence thinking about the Mini Morph. I find it hard to get a really good pressure with a normal pump, but the 'track-pump' style works well for me.

I have a mini morph & it's ok. If you're on the Hull to York ride later this month, I'll let you play with my pump

I say! If I play with it enough, will the result be nice and hard?



Sorry, I'm still in work-double-entendre mode for some reason.

A work of genius. An engineering marvel. An aesthetic delight, and a ruddy good pump too.

Anything except one made by Blackburn.
It might just be me, but I've been let down by any number of different models from them.
But no more - I'll never buy another.

The Mini morph is very good, and can get good pressure in my 140psi tyres.

Yeah, I saw that one, it looked smart.

Pricier though - it would be so nice for money to be no object, but...

I'll mither a bit longer...

Toepeak pocket rocket works for me

Mini pumps 140psi . Is it April 1st, come on get real.

 

[redjedi]

I didn't say I got the full 140 psi into my tyres but I can get it hard enough that I don't notice. Must be close to 100psi.

I bought one of these, a Topeak racerocket mini pump

http://www.evanscycles.com/products/topeak/racerocket-mini-pump-ec023030#BVRRWidgetID

A tad expencive, although i did get it on price-match for £19.99. Very good pump, inflated my tyre to almost 100 psi with no trouble at all. Would highly recommend.
