Mini pumps

Yeah, wonder if that's better at pumping than the Micro Drive I have? Could just get that gauge cable for the micro drive.

Edit that's massive actually.

I'll just get the inline gauge and use it with my micro drive.

I'm sick of swapping the pump mounts on bikes so I want another pump. Lezyne?

Road Drive or Pressure Drive?

There doesn't appear to be too much in it - I'm never going to need Road Drive pressure. Is the 'slip' attachment decent? It's about the only major difference other than maybe length.

Have been using the pressure drive for a long time - good build quality - does a good job.

Which size did you get? I think I'll get the bigger one. Big hands and small handles do not a happy hippy make.

Silca Impero, accept no substitutes.

Nice but no thanks. I want cheap, reliable, small. It's just for emergency use.

Two out of three?

I here a noise last night and its a bloke outside asking a neighbor for a pair of plyers . Usual winter thing of his lezyne pump ceased up and the extension tube rusted and stuck in the pump . Lent him the track pump😇

One out of three? How long is it?

Lezyne drive pump. Will do 120psi. Don't get mini, it won't do 80.

Pressure Drive?

It's aluminium, how could it be rusted?

Road drive.

I think i've medium. Never had issue re-inflating a flat.

Jersey pocket for al of the above when I'm not on a bike with a frame pump.

Those mini floor pumps are incredible, @laner had one with him for the Balkans and it was about 5x faster and easier than a pressure drive. Not that massive either, I would make room for it.

I thought it was a frame pump?

Fuck, still £100. I don't use them often enough to justify that. My £10 has been fine for 5+ years.

Yeah, I bought one in the end. Will take on TCR to keep tyres inflated daily.
I saw it in a shop and saw that is was little and light. It is good.
The psi indicator isn't as accurate as I'd like bit it's good enough.

I had a slow puncture that wouldn't patch and we were out of tubes, from full inflation to flat I got 8 mins. In the 25-30 miles to mostar I think I had to pump about 10 times. Would have been a nightmare with my pressure drive.

Riding the descent into Mostar on a gradually deflating tyre whilst hitting 45+ mph was one of the sketchiest things I've ever done.

Pressure drive I've got is about 9 inches. Wait for it.

That must have been a little tedious!

I need a mini pump that doesent suck. For the 'very' fat tyre bike I use a frame pump but I need something that can cope up to 40psi for 700x35 tyres and doesent break my arm off. Any experience with SKS Airboy XL? It looks decent enough with only one niggle, the pump body attaches to the valve, I prefer a hose if possible.

Mini pumps are all shit. Lezyne Road Drive is good though. Or get one of those Floor Drives if you want to go total Mamil.

Or
