Mini pumps

Yesterday I finally bought a mini-ish pump that I feel happy with. Its the Specialized WindPipe. Its a small frame-mountable tyre and shocks pump. It does come with a guage (yes hippy, you're probably right about it breaking or going wrong), but since it was designed to pump suspensions on bikes also, I figured it would be reasonably accurate. It pumps to 220psi, and therefore I would never worry about repairing at roadside, and riding off with a too low pressure. It was £30 (I bought it at Ev*ns), which was double what other good mini-pumps cost, but it does feel pretty heavy duty, so I'm more comfortable with the cost. I'll give some feedback after I've used it.

I flatted on the way up to the Eilidh Memorial Ride, and for the first time since I bought it, I had to pump a tyre fully using my Specialized WindPipe. Normally I pump at home with my SKS TP11 (rated 232psi). I pumped my Maxxis ReFuse to 90psi with little effort. Then I switched to the High Pressure setting, and pumped to 105psi with even less effort than before. The trade-off is that on the latter setting, the air is pumped in, in very small quantities. It took 3-4 times as long to pump in the last 15psi, as the previous 90psi.

A really good little pump, and strong too (rated 220psi). Not as tiny as some others in this category.

EDITED: 220psi, not 300psi.
