Yes, been done a lot on here, one with a flexi hose and capable of high pressure gives confidence, others like compressed air but you do of course run the risk of running out with that approach. I've got a Lezyne www.lezyne.com/en/pressure-drive .

Does it get up to good pressure? Over 100psi?

Does it get up to good pressure? Over 100psi? To be honest can't say i've ever checked. It's always been good enough to finish a ride off. It probably does but it's not easy with such a small pump. I usually just top up with the track pump when i get home but like i say i've never really took notice of what pressure i've managed to put in.

Always take mine, it was about Β£14 from Halfords, never had to use it myself as I've never had a p##### it's helped a few people get home though. Their tyres seemed hard enough but no idea what pressure it will pump to. The day I forget it will be the day I need it, that's a given. I can't even remember the make

I've got a Lezyne www.lezyne.com/en/pressure-drive . +1 on the Lezyne. Flexible hose makes pumping easier, less of a risk of snapping the valve off. Always had issues with mini pumps without a hose, trying to keep it attached to the valve whilst pumping furiously. Fits nicely in a jersey pocket, but also has a frame mount if you are that way inclined. The mount comes with a velcro fastener to secure the pump so no accidental flying out the mount when you hit a bump.

Crank Brothers mini pump. It won't quite get up to 100 psi but enough to get you home. Fits in this along with spare tube, multitool and repair kit. I am not keen on carrying stuff in my jersey pockets and, as everyone knows, the Velominati have banned saddle bags and frame mounted pumps. The only problem is that this limits drink carrying capacity so may have to break the rules when the weather gets hotter.

I have a Decca pump that came with the bike, I'm guessing that it's the cheapest one in their range, and I'll admit that I've never had to use it. Perhaps I ought to give it a go? The blurb on the site says this will only go to 80psi, they also quote 5bar, which is 75psi in my book. I suppose that I really only expect to get home after using it. It fits on the side of the bottle cage.
