Which pump?

[ape]

I've got to buy a smaller pump to fit in my bag for when I'm riding to work again so was wondering if anyones got any suggestions. 3 things to remember are it must fit presta and schrader, I am a bike snob so it must look pretty and carbon is definately a bonus and 3 I am also fairly lazy so the quicker it pumps up the tyre the better. Oh and a budget of about 30 quid but the cheaper the better

Luckily with all those criteria you won't have to go out and buy an 'Oxford' I've gone through two in the last couple of week, IMO they're poo pants pumps. and should be avoided.

Lol no this is the reason I posted, I'm not normally into mini pumps but when I brought my RTS econdhand many moons ago it came with a mini pump that was absolute crap, I'd of been better trying to inflate my innertube with a balloon pump lol

I bought a Lezyne last year. Nicely made, bit pricey but damn effective. I went for the 'floor' type with a fold out foot to make a mini track pump, its brilliant. Bulkier than normal, but i'm not bothered

My venerable Topeak Einstein is the best pump I've had. Cost £20 at the time (about 12 years ago) and the updated version is still at the £20 mark.

Telescopic so gives you more 'pump' for your money (9" closed, 17" when extended), fits schrader and presta, has built in tyre lever and a space to keep a self adhesive patch kit. I like it.

Not small but it does fit in my Camelbak Mule; a Topeak Mountain Morph.

I bought mine years ago when they came with a gauge, never looked back after previously going through many a pump. Pumps tyres up a lot quicker than a mini pump.

I'm going to get one of these soon to use on the bike

but I've had the same small blackburn for something like 8 years now , just works faultlessly and is easily stripped to clean . I've had to use so many pumps over the years that are poor quality . I'd use the blackburn on the bike but I'd be gutted if I lost it

What about one of these for a fiver. .
