Zefal vs Lezyne pump

[ExBrit]

I apologize if this has been asked before, but has anyone done a side-by-side comparison of the old Zefal and new Lezyne pumps? Is the new one still plastic?
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks

Is this about Bromptons?

Is this about Bromptons?

I think so, the lady at Brilliant Bikes YouTube channel did a feature on the new pump and said they would be comparing the two pumps in a future video.

I don’t have the new, Brompton labelled pump, but I do have a Lezyne pump, which is aluminium (I think!).
it is very good, and I have it in my saddle bag.
Brilliant Bikes are good for YouTube informatio.

I don't have a Brompton.

@Cycleops I’m pretty sure you don’t need to have a Brompton to use the pump @ExBrit mentions, it would work for other tubes, but I understood the question related to a very recent release of a dual branded Lezyne/Brompton pump, designed to replace the original, plastic, and not very good Zefal pump, which was often supplied with most new Bromptons.

Does the new one fold?

Hey guys - yes this is specifically about the new Brompton pump. The Brilliant Bikes video talks about installation of the new pump but that's about it. I haven't seen a comparison yet and can't actually get much information about the new pump. I understand it's slightly lighter than the Zefal which makes me think it is plastic, but I can't find confirmation.

Just found this on the Brompton site:
The sleek CNC Machined Aluminium body designed with both weight and style in mind mounts to the Brompton rear frame (mount included) - ready to grab and go whenever it’s needed.

The old one is plastic and crap. The new one is alu and good

Fairly sure my Zefal hpr is aluminium.

You LIKE something that Brompton does? That's new! Are you sure?

 

[ExBrit]

Thanks guys, that's exactly what I was hoping to see.

Thanks - I missed that.

Mine fell off years ago.

Lost it somewhere around Hyde Park. Ever since, I carry one in my rucksack.

I've not looked at where it mounts since, but I'd certainly recommend trying some sort of hook and loop strap around it to give extra support on bumpy roads.
