What Pump?

I am trying to minimise the amount of kit I carry. What pumps do you generally carry for long rides (50 miles or so)? Are very mini pumps any good? Is a gauge neccessary? Also, why do most people stuff them into jersey pockets instead of mounting them on the bike?

Lezyne mini pump is excellent IMO.
Have used one for years.
It's a hose type with presta and schraeder ends which screw on so you can say farewell to all those bent/broken presta ends that you have knackered in the past when using push fit pumps0 -

+1 for the Lezyne. I've had mine a year now, and it works well.0

I can vouch for this. Bit pricey compared to some, but does the job well.

+1 for the Lezyne Road Drive. It is light,bling and has a flexible tube that will prevent your valve from bending plus it is quite a good pump0

Same for me too.
You don't need a pressure gauge, just pump them up as hard as you can, unlikely you'll be able to over inflate using a hand pump.
I have a pump fitted to my commuter but not on my best bike, purely for aesthetic reasons._________________________________________________

yep +1 for the Lezyne Pressure Drive Mini small - small, lightweight, powerful; I bought mine as a result of recommendations on here.0

Another for the leyzne road drive. Classy looking pump and works as well as a mini pump can.Pinno, מלך אידיוט וחרא מכונאי0
