Which pump

[Beed]

After a decent mini pump for my road bike, recommendations?

I have two, one permanently mounted on best bike and the other in my general kit that gets swapped between bikes as needed. Have been using them for about 8yrs now without any issues and can equally inflate a 23mm skinny tyre to 100+psi or a fat MTB tyre. Obviously not the fastest due to the discreet size, but also not ridiculously slow, even on big MTB tyres.

I got one of these with my cycling weekly subscription a year ago. Not had to use it yet. Must check battery.

Have the same.
Originally just had one and used to swap them from bike to bike, until I started forgetting to swap. Now have one on each bike, so I don't need to remember.

I've used a Lezyne Road Drive pump for about nine years. It's got a flexible hose which I rate highly. I have an aversion to fixed head pumps.

There's no decent mini pump, they all leave you fiddling away at the roadside like an onanist. Get a gas dispenser.

Lezyne Carbon Road Drive pump. Not cheap, but excellent and is nice and light being carbon fibre.

I also have a Topeak Pocket Rocket which is a good pump.

Topeak as mentioned up thread. Any Lezyne I have owned has failed. They are machined nicely and look nice but they ain’t.

Your experience is somewhat different to mine. I've had a couple of the cheaper Lezyne pumps and neither has let me down. One required a rebuild with a seal-kit but that was my fault as I mounted the pump upside down and the head of the unit filled with water. The other has been faultless.

Hi Beed,

I've got one of these Birzman pumps and I've found it to be fine when needed and I quite like the built in pressure gauge.

Also this Blackburn one gets some good reviews:-

Good luck finding the right one for you.

Alas, round here, hedge porn is a rarity.

Know they are out of stock at present but if you can get one some where else these are great wee pumps, know they are fixed heads, most of my bikes have Lezyne mini pumps fitted but this little pump really works great and inflates tyres surprising quickly. https://www.evanscycles.com/bontrager-air-support-mtb-mini-pump-00104733

Another vote for the pocket rocket. Gets up to a good pressure without huffing and puffing.

Also these are very good, like a mini track pump.--- The Topeak mini morph.
