+2 on the Lezyne I have been using the PressureDrive S and really like it, the design is smart and fills up a tire fast and hey that even had a blue one that matched my bike ;-)
But seriously if you have ever had the " I have pumped a zillion strokes with this *&^%$ mini pump and my tire still doesn't feel inflated!" feeling this pump is for you its mini and does its job. I also like the waterbottle mount, its out of the way, the pump compliments the bike (bling) and its not taking up room in the bag. I could alternatively put this in a jersey pocket an forget its there. Opps did I say "jersey"? I meant my bamboo seersucker blend longsleeve shirt ;-) RR On Oct 29, 10:27 am, Thomas Lynn Skean <[email protected]> wrote: > +1 on Lezyne...
