So in my quest to remove the backpack I need a smaller pump. Recommend me one please. Looking at the lezyne and topeak ones but just wondering on some practical reviews.
Cheers

The Alloy Drive is great (unless you have removable core Presta valves - but good enough that I switched back to standard core!)
Second the Alloy Drive. Had it years and it's still going strong.
Did you go for small? Or the pressure drive medium?
Smallest they do - fab item. Mine is the default pump for a whole load of guys and it's stood a bashing.
"[i]unless you have removable core Presta valves[/i]"
Looking for a pump too and Lezyne are always great in the reviews, But I do have the removable core prestas.
Why's it a problem?
The topeak mountain morph is a beast of a pump - be surprised if any mini-pump could beat it for inflating a tyre. Its whole design is also very good.
The drawback is that it's quite big - certainly not something that fits in a jersey pocket. If you're a puncture fetishist (ie you use tubes), then I'd get it. If you're a tubeless man and rarely flat then a smaller pump is a better bet.

anyone got any experience on this wee guy
I use a Topeak one as well, good quality and goes in my back pocket.
I use the Topeak Road pocket rocket. Comes with a mount to use along side the bottle cage. Great pump imo.

Lezyne alloy drive here. It just works when all others fail, & this has happened.
Topeak MTN morph, 5-7 years old, and (mine is) still the default choice of everyone I ride with
