    Just lost my excellent Blackburn Mammoth Mountain pump out on a ride. Anyone recommend anything different? Otherwise it's same again for me. Thanks

    Lots of people always recommend those Lezyne ones. Never had a problem with my Blackburn Mammoth though.

    A mate of mine has one that's like a mini-track pump – seems to work pretty well. Can't remember which one it is.

    PP and MrMW are right, of course, with that topeak one (I lost mine 😥 ) but blackburn are great too – and their lifetime warranty really works. I had a mammoth mountain that broke after about 5yrs & got a new replacement

    Nah, got a Lezyne medium & compared to my old old Topeak Einstein or something like that it's slow, a faff to get the hose attached & generally just not as brilliant.

    It does however look really nice which is more important than anything of course.

    Truflo Evolution plus here, fantastic, and not too expensive- the same pump crops up under other brands too. It's either a big mini pump or a tiny track pump, but either way it's small enough to just throw in a bag but big enough to pump up tyres quickly and easily. Which is exactly what a pump should do. No real reason to go smaller IMO, lots of people fixate on size but I don't think it makes any real difference. It also has a fairly inaccurate pressure gauge, which is better than nothing i guess- there's a version available without it. Just like a Mountain Morph, only tougher, cheaper and better in use.

    I think the Lezynes's are beautifully made but not actually as well designed for pumping, which is kind of a downside.

    Lezyne all the way. Get a mini though. Plenty pressure can get 100 psi in my road bike

    Can't recomend it highly enough

    Its tiny , looks good and packs plenty of power
