Which pump do you carry and how do you like it.

Looking to get a new pump, trying to find the best one for the dollar. Anyone have recommendations for an inexpensive yet lightweight portable pump that secures nicely to your whip(bike)?

I like my Zefal. It comes with a strap for extra security while riding.

Blackburn. Great pumps, great warranty. Both full sized frame pumps and a variety of small ones.

Which Zefal do you have? I saw one on amazon I may order.

Topeak Mini DX has worked well for me so far - small size, dual stroke pump action, high PSI. I use it just an emergency pump on the road, though, so it's seen limited use.

+1 on the Blackburn frame pumps. Never failed me and stay put - even over the harshest bumps...I just got one that rotates between my bikes.

Innovations Second Wind. It is a CO2 Inflator with a secondary pump feature. I usually carry two CO2 cartridges with me but I like having the pump capability just for the unlikely event that I get more than two flats during a ride.

Morph by Topeak; great pump, relatively small, can fit on your seat tube

Topeak Road Morph. I like it a lot. See it in action here.

specialised pvo mini. lightweight, cheap (AU$19.95) and claims high power, and has a great holder that still allows you to put a bottle cage ontop of it. don't know if it works, never had to use it. its my pump for emergencies. i also have a topeak joe blow II for general use. bulletproof track pump and takes both presta and schrader valves.

Blackburn Road Air 2, the best pump you will ever use on the roadside, slim, light, just perfect.

I carry Barbieri Carbone, which is small yet has performed reliably. I also carry one CO2 cartridge with a simple connection fitting. The CO2 is easier, but I have the mini
pump if I get a 2nd flat. If I'm using my wide tires, I'll use the pump a bit, and top it off with the CO2.

I use a Zefal frame pump for very occasional multi-day touring.

It would be helpful if you told us what kind of bike you have. If you want an emergency frame pump for an MTB, you have more choices because you don't have to worry about getting as much pressure into your tire.

I use a Planetbike Roadie pump, which is a "frame-fit" pump. That means it has no bracket, it just uses a spring inside the pump to lodge itself under your top tube (or beside your seat tube). It comes in three sizes and you have to make sure you're getting the right size for your bike. Without the bracket it's easy to remove and secure again, and I haven't had problems with it coming off the bike. But more importantly, it's long, so you can get more pressure than most other frame pumps can get. I can get it up to 90 PSI without using any special mechanical advantage (such as walls, rocks, etc.) and the pump secures itself to the valve very well. Sometimes it's too secure, which means you have to be careful not to be too rough and damage a Presta valve. Like most pumps it works with either a Presta or a Schraeder valve.

How are you all carrying your pumps?
