What's the received wisdom on the best mini pump for backpack use? Think i'd like one of those that folds out to a kind of mini track pump but unsure which model is best...any ideas/recommendations?

The best one I have used is a Leyzne Road Drive L. I can inflate my road tires to 100psi quickly and with minimal effort.

Topeak MTN Morph - the power ranger of mini pumps!
Though it ain't that mini in std form, lots of differing versions available but I like this one for it's size and lack of "features".
Have heard ppl complain they've broken the foot plate, but I've had mine years without issue.Posted 11 months ago # -
Not tried it on road tyres but the Topeak Mountaim Morph fits in a Camelback, folds out like a mini track pump, has a dual head, flexi hose for the valve (not direct fit)so it won't rip it off if you get a bit carried away and doesn't take forever to inflate the tyre. So it gets my vote

there was a very long thread on this ages ago. The two that came through were a Leyzne one and the Topeak Mountain Morph.
After reading, I ended up buying a Mountain Morph and think that it's excellent.
AFAIK the Leyzne one costs more and looks prettier but doesn't seem to offer anything over ther Mountain Morph.

i've got a leyzne road drive too, though not used it on mtb.. for road it's surprisingly quick to get up to pressure and always easy going. only problem is it has a tendency to unscrew the whole valve when you take it off meaning you have to do it all again - if your tubes have valves that unscrew, tighten them all with pliers first!
other than that it's tiny and light, and indeed looks pretty.
