[#2137676]

So struggled with my 7yr old mini pump this morning on my commute. Think its time for a new one. Any recomendations. used for mtb and road so would like something that can pump a road tire to 120psi if thats possible. Like the look of the lezyne pumps but not sure on longevity. Any advice? Happy to spend around £40 if it is required

Not exactly little, but Topeak MTN Morph for me every time.
Though they do, do a 'mini' version, but I have no experience of it's performance, and I'd personally avoid the gauged version (pointless IMO)

Mini Morph is tip top for road tyres - will get to 80 psi easily. Had it for about a year now and has so far been faultless and far and away the best mini pump I've had. Don't know if the mini really has enough puff for MTB tyres as it's a pretty small volume barrel - I've not tried it though.

Crc do the lezyne HV mini track pump for a shade over 30 notes, more robust than the topeak version, and more gucci lookin'

I got caught out without a pump the other day and had to buy one from the nearest bike shop. I was originally intending to get a cheap and nasty £10 job, but ended up with the Lezyne Alloy Drive.

It's great - plenty of volume, really light and very nicely engineered - price pretty good too:

i've got the medium version of the one posted by sprocket jockey. works really well, and with having the rubber hose instead of being directly connected to the valve, means your not pulling the valve around with every pump / stroke.

used to have a topeak one that was also pretty good, gave that one to my old man and its still going strong.

avoid the bontrager air rush or whatever its called. it was useless as a pump, then broke using a air cartridge and left me stranded miles away from home.

I've got the Mini Alloy Drive also.

I can't fault it; works well, feels like a quality piece of kit, and looks the business. I'm not sure I'd want to pump road tyres with it though, by the time I've got a MTB full from flat I've had enough.
