mini pump recommendation

[mrcpea]

Hi,
Looking to buy a pump that will fit in a back pocket of jacket.
Seen this and liked the thought that it was only 165mm long.
Anyone got one or recommend something that works well up to around 100psi

Topeak Mini Morph

Always used Topeak pumps, think they pack quite a punch and this one sits in my jersey pocket quite snugly.

Lezyne Pressure Drive for me .

Screw on valve whichever you use , so no bent valve ends

My little Specialized Airtool one is 160mm long and 20mm diameter. It was the smallest one I could find and around £15. It locks closed. Warning though: it'll put the pressure in, but it takes a LOT of pumping to inflate with a mini pump.

Example, but shop around because you can find it cheaper than that.

Mini pumps are great for emergency use but you can't beat a full sized frame-fit pump
but as you well know these pumps eventually mark the frame lugs, how many have actually
used a mini pump and pump the tyre up so its nice and firm and ridable, I've found out on the
clubruns that most who puncture and try pumping up using a mini pump give up after knackered
arms and couldn't get no higher than 70psi, then look around and say 'Can I use your pump mate'...lol

That Topeak Mini Morph looks good and looks like a tiny track pump, It would be good
to see that pump placed at the side of your hand or saddle for size comparison ?

I have a black plastic cheapo Aldi mini pump which works quite well and cost me just £1.99p.

Hi Ian ,

Are you taking the pi-- ?

You say that you can only get tyres up to a moderate pressure with a mini pump , then say you got an Aldi special
Hope you're coping better mate .

Aha! Not explained myself Mike :facepalm: I have a modern Wilier road bike and can't fit a frame-fit
pump on that bike, so carry a crappy Aldi mini pump when I go out on that bike

I'm not too bad now Mike thanks for asking, time is a great healer.

Ian.
