    Only a few worth having imo. Stuck in the middle of nowhere in the cold/wet trying to use a cheap and/or useless pump is not recommended. I'd go for a frame pump and the Park Tools PMP 5 or not really a mini pump but a good bit of kit is the Topeak Road Morph. PMP 5 gets a review on TWMP

  • I've got a Topeak pocket rocket. Works well, I have used it several times on the road. Leant it to a guy on a sportive recently, and he claimed it saved his life. Probably an exaggeration :-)

    Specialized Air Tool Mini. I've not used mine in anger yet, but have borrowed it to friends on a club ride and it seemed to do the trick. There's also a storage compartment in the handle/hilt for a couple of patches, glue etc. Nice touch.

    It's withstood my 3 yr old Son using is as a microphone/sword/gun too. So has passed the build quality test :D

    Not bad for £15.

    I use the Lezyne Road Drive which is pretty good. I bought a medium because it is my back up to the CO2. I think I would buy a large if I didn't use the CO2 as a first choice.

    Still haven't felt the need to buy a track pump

    I have a carbon Pocket rocket - works well small light, looks great!
    but I also have the second wind version of the OP's pump which has a gas cylinder and is a hand pump £11 from Wiggle - so you get the benefit of gas and the ability to top up - or pump from flat when your gas has run out

    +1 for Lezyne Road Drive. Not cheap but really worth it. Light, gets to high pressure quickly, built really solidly. Best I've used.
  • Topeak RaceRocket http://www.topeak.com/products/Mini-Pum ... cket_black is really good and easy to use. Screw on, small, excellent.
  • I have the non-carbon version of this and after a couple of minutes testing in the garage I came to the conclusion that I better pray I never need it on the road.
    It is painfully slow to inflate even a 23mm tyre.
