    as it says – 'other thread on here reminded me broke zip on bag fixing puncture AND pump would hardly give another pressure to get home

    thinking of getting a medium top peak bag – any chance of a pump that fits in it?

    I keep one of these in my Topeak saddle bag (large) – Innovations second wind mini pump .

    It's a CO2 jobbie & a normal pump combined it will do both Presta & Schrader valves & is a smart small piece of kit – you wont be disappointed 🙂

    but at that price with a recommendation can't really go wrong

    To be honest once you try CO2 & see how easy it is to inflate tyres without any effort at all you won't want to go back to a manual pump in a hurray. I buy my CO2 cartridges from Tyre Inflators in bulk & it's the cheapest place I can find.

    I've actually got 2 x second winds one for each bike bag 😀

    I'm on tubeless and use C02 also, and don't actually carry a pump.

    Thanks for the link to the cheaper cartridges.

    Well if you go to Bath from Bristol you'll find my Topeak Rocket AL road pump on the road somewhere I dropped it! Fu*(£(*))("$&Y*$!!!

    I recommend it as I could pump to 110psi in a min. I got the smaller unit without the turn handle and used to keep it in medium Topeak saddle bag.

    There is a mtb version too.

    thnks zaskar – only 30ish days to go and only thing lost this year was a really old pair of sunglasses (whilst putting cag' on!)

    i looked at that on crc and couldn't quite work out why said for road use – now i realise being stupid – what meant was you could 100psi plus

    have ordered C-B's suggestion and fingers crossed will fit if not may go for one of these on xmas list

    Tempted to go for CO2 too but I like to use the old inner tube to check where the puncture position is within the tyre using a pump.

    I like the idea of CO2 though.

    This can easily be achieved using the Innovations second wind mini pump – see my first post above for a link – I do use the hand pump function exactly as you state to look for the puncture area. However using CO2 to inflate the tyre is soooo easy…………..
