Hi folks
Can you advise on a small, light hand pump, which can give enough pressure to get you home in the event of a puncture.

Price no object.

Cheers

    To be fair it might be slightly too big for a back pocket, depends how much you want sticking out. However, it does look good on the bike attached to the bottle cage - very smart and discrete. Very efficient also as it screws right onto the valve, so there is no air loss when pumping and since it has a hose attachment you won't bend or snap your valve like some mini pumps. Highly recommended.

    Hi
    I really need something for the back pocket as my fixed winter bike has no cage mounts.
    Ill maybe see if there is a smaller version.

    I use the Lezyne linked above - if you are familiar with a Blackburn Airstick the Lezyne is smaller than that.

    it's a hard life if you don't weaken.

    me too, easily fits in a back pocket and has an old skool flexible hose too so easy to get the psi up!

    Another vote for the Lezyne, a fantastic little pump.

    The Topeak Micro rocket does the job well. It is tiny and easily fits in your pocket. Takes a bit of muscle to pump up the tyre but you get there in the end. Also you can get it in carbon !

    I've got topeak mini-morph, which pokes out of my back pocket a little, but without any fear of it falling out. It's worked fine for me on the two or three times it's been called upon - the fact it's got a hose and the base can be rested against the ground to pump against are the key features. It takes a fair bit of pumping to get there, but it achieves a decent pressure.

    Got the Lezyne as well. Great pump. Got my brothers tyres up without much problem once we found a tube that actually hadn't a hole in it :roll: :roll:

    Does this replace the bottle cage, or can you have pump + cage?

    Both. Just loosen off the cage bolts. Slip the pump bracket behind the bottle cage and tighten up the bolts again. Job done.
