Punctures on a bike ride are a nightmare. You can, however, make the experience of repairing a flat and getting back on the road much quicker by having a good pump.
How do you define a good mini pump? It all depends on your personal preferences and how often you puncture. In this video Si and Dan run through how they choose a mini pump for their road bike.

I swear by the Lezyne Sport Drive HP Hand Pump. From experience, this pump works very well for a road bike. Pumped up a tire fast enough, not racing, without much effort. Loved the flexible hose (saves the valve) & it is compact. Comes in 2 lengths, under water bottle mounting & different finishes. Other version I use on my grocery getter is the Topeak Road Morph G Pump. This bike mount pump is large, about 1/2 the top tube length, has a in line air gauge, Handle & foot peg fold out, pumps up tire without a large effort. Has come in handy many times for me away from my floor pump.

Don't forget to look after your pump. A well maintained pump shouldn't let you down. I've had my mini-pump for about 15 years, and although it looks a bit tatty now it works as good as new. Maybe once or twice a year, just give it a quick service. Dismantle it (they normally just unscrew) then give it a wipe out with some kitchen paper or a clean rag to get rid or any dirt, moisture and old grease. You'd be amazed how much crap gets in there; especially bike mounted pumps. Once clean apply a thin film of silicone grease to the washers and seals then reassemble. Make sure you tighten it up properly though. Last thing you want is it coming apart on a ride and losing half of it. It's a 5 minute job, but it's a small sacrifice to make compared to suffering a puncture 20 miles from home and finding your pump doesn't work.

I carry two co2 cartridges with me during my rides, and the inflater to go with them of course. I have thought about getting a mini pump for a while now because of the reusability and when I do I will likely go with the convenience of the smaller size over the efficiency of a larger pump. I don't often puncture, but now that I've put that out into the world I should probably make up my mind on a mini pump sooner rather than later. Great video as always gentlemen.

I have a Specialized Roubaix, and live on the coast, and unfortunately flats are very common with all the road junk. I fine the large co2 will inflate a tyre at least 3 times, total life saver.

A good overview. Thank you. However, there are several more advantages of a full-size pump: 1 If it's attached to your bike, it's out of the way and leaves room in your pockets for food; 2 A full-size pump is much -- much, much -- easier to use; 3. A good-looking pump will add to the overall aesthetics of your bike. Cheers.

I had a topeak turbo morph, the 'floor pump' that was shown in this video and it was amazing. It's as long as my top tube and served me well as a daily pump. Now I have a lezyne pressure drive, also a great pump only smaller. You gotta take your puncture protection into consideration too. I stopped using the turbo morph after installing Gatorskins.
@Liofa73 8 жыл бұрын
I have a Lezyne mini pump with a valve connector that's reversible, threaded and slip on. When I continue to pump up the tyre at home with a shop pump I'm starting from 80/90psi. I tend to get 5-8 punctures per year on local roads. I can't really justify the cost of CO2 versus a little elbow grease. Also, I believe it's better for the environment using a regular pump, when you consider the manufacturing of aluminium canisters and their likelihood of being recycled (which is probably low, even if you do throw them in household recycling).

After using many mini pumps, the one that really impressed me is the Specialized Air Tool Road Pump. In the end, is not the size of the pump that matter as much as how efficient it can pump. Many of these mini pumps are not very efficient. They have lost motion in the beginning of each stroke just to get up to pressure due to excess dead volume inside the pump. That alone tires you out. Add to that, there is part to part friction. The Specialized was incredibly efficient. Every inch of motion translate instantly to added air in the tire. Trust me on this one, you will not be disappointed.

It does not take much effort to get up to pressure unlike various other mini-pumps I had over the years. You don't feel like you are getting a work out just pumping. It will probably get up to around 80psi before pumping gets pretty difficult, but that is enough for me.

If you apply power before the freewheel is engaged, then there is a shock when the freewheel engages. I think that is how chains break. I do carry a spare quick link.

One thing with pocket-sized pumps makes them unattractive. Many of them fit to valve directly without hose. Due to nature of stroke motion, it is too easy to break fragile Presta valve.

I find the videos on this channel helpful, but only to a moderate extent (though sometimes they are more detailed). Not snarky or upset, but I more so frustrated with various issues changing a tube and this video that makes it seem like it's as easy as tying your shoes to pump up a tire. I'm not so sure I'm THAT upper body weak. I've seen the one gentleman in this video in cycling attire, and he doesn't appear to appear to have that big of upper body strength. I was trying to get an idea of how long it takes one to pump up a road tire to the tire's recommended min. PSI when pumping with a non-floor pump (like when replacing or repairing a tube). They didn't specify the minimum PSI of the tire recommended nor what PSI they pumped it up to. I find I myself am a bit pissed and rushed and just focused on getting it done when I see I have a flat vs. logging how long each phase takes when replacing a tube on the road. I've found a trick to help with a non-floor pump (using my lower body as an aid), but I'm 100% certain it takes me considerably longer than 1 min. 30 sec. to pump up a tire with a non-floor pump (using a Lezyne Pressure Drive M). Probably at LEAST 15 minutes, guessing as many as 40 min. to get up to 90 PSI, and a few min. is added because I'm checking the PSI 2-3 times near the end.

best pumps are with small hose, makes pumping so much easier

Lezyne pumps that screw on can all too easily unscrew continental inner tube valves after inflation. Really annoying after you put a lot of effort in to inflating the inner tube. I saw this happen on so many group rides I now carry a valve removal tool to tighten the valves or suggest they borrow a different pump. Spoken to a few people about this issue and found a few people had thought it was a faulty inner tube and binned them.

What a great video! I love the mini pumps and mine is even lighter! Only 45g!

Not sure I agree that CO2 are for a minority of riders. If you don't have much punctures it is absolutely worth it. There are not so expensive if you don't puncture that much and you are able to repair very fast (which is great in the veeeeery hot summers here :) )

A good but is a Schrader adaptor which can screw on to your presta valve which then makes you compatible with any pump

That was some very vigorous pumping action there guys. You look well practised. I wonder where you got that experience from...?

I tried to keep pace with the "pump off". I have a sore palm now.

For road bike is more comfortable to using the pump with switcher of high and low influence volume. I'm using now crankbrothers sterling gl and very like this) some brands just write what you can do up to 90 - 100 psi? but haven't some switcher its not good(

I got an impact puncture on both my front and rear one time. Not a pleasant experience. And if you're only packing a single CO2 cartridge, you're going to want a pump. I luckily was riding with a mate that day who lend me their pump while I used the CO2 as a "top off". When I got to a floor pump that I could use, I noticed I only got it to 60psi.
