Sorry.
My old blackburn mtn air broke yesterday.
I need a new mini pump. Get-you-home duties only. Cheap please. Not spending 20 notes on a pump.
Anyone got any good ones?
There is a test on mini pumps in this months What Mountainbike.
A Lezyne one won it but it was £24.
I have about 4 Basic Blackburn mini pumps as they work fine and are only around £10-£12. I have loads as it was almost as cheap to buy another pump as to get extra frame brackets for different bikes. Never had one break on me yet although i prefer the older design to the new one.
The lezyne pumps with the screw on tubes are very nice, but mine keep unscrewing the core of my presta valves when you take the tube off. VERY annoying, especially when you're running tubeless tyres that can unseat if deflated suddenly.
+1 for Lezyne Alloy Drive......Excellent pump with no faffy plastic bits!
Spend the extra it'll last for ever.....
i have a Lezyne top bit of kit only mini pump i have had that can pump up to decent pressures
Lezyne is expensive. Is it really worth the cost of 3 basic mini pumps?

yes
Sorry to be a parrot but Lezyne Alloy Drive here also. Even gets my road bike tyres up to 90-100psi. After wasting god knows how much on pumps its just the business. Would buy another without a thought.
OK! OK! I get the picture! 😀
So, medium or small?
I think medium, I like a bit more length to get a grip of.... 😉
Oh dear, how things have changed, in the ole day you wouldn't have been able to move for mtn morph power ranger recommendations...
Topeak MTN Morph for me, works better (& lasts) than any other pump I've tried.
Admittedly I'm not been tempted to [s]waste[/s] splash the cash on a lezyne one, so can't compare.
I have both the lezyne and the Topeak mtn morph, I prefer the mtn morph as it is more efficient at pumping and less of a faff to use.
ahhhh the 'emporers new clothes' shocker
lezyne is only 3 quid more than mtn morph. and mtn morph is huge!
[i]and mtn morph is huge![/i]
...but works so well because of this, what more I say.. except everyone whose tried mine has replaced there old pump with one.
mountain morph mini here. very impressed with it. Comfortable fits into a small back pack and can inflate to high mtb pressures* with no effort.
*not tried inflating road tyres so cannot comment.
