I use a lezyne pressure drive as well. Don't bother with anything to "cheep and cheer full" because it probably wont work at all 🙁
Yep, 3rd vote for Lezyne.. couldn't get my track pump to work yesterday, managed to get up to 80psi with the Lezyne with not much effort..
Co2 cylinders. Quick and effortless to 100 psi.
Ive done the cheap and cheerful before and had to scrounge a pump off passers by , bought the Lezyne and was back up on the trail 5 minutes after my last flat
The Lezyne models with a separate hose are really, really good. Try and avoid the one-piece units where the pump attaches directly onto the valve. I've seen people shear the valve from the tube on many occasions... over 10.
Topeak Pocket Rocket is excellent value for money. Small, lightweight, but gets you up to a nice high pressure.
I had a Lezyne RoadDrive pump attached to my frame for 6 months. The first time I got a puncture the pump fell apart, bits everywhere...:-(
I've got a ToPeak RoadMorph now...
Genuine Innovations Air Chuck Elite. Miniscule, works.
I've had one of the mini morphs for years and it's still going strong. In fact, I'm so impressed with it that when I saw this Amazon [url= http://www.amazon.co.uk/Topeak-Mini-Morph-Floor-Pump/dp/B00JQN3IYW ]Mini Morph bargain[/url] I bought one for my nan's mobility scooter and another one for my gran's shopping trolley 😉
The Lezyne models with a separate hose are really, really good.
They are with one important caveat: they have a habit of unscrewing your valve core unless it's done up tightly. It is then ejected at 100PSI never to be seen again...
I bought one of these Topeak iglow rocket pumps to keep on my road bike frame. It doubles as a light and the pump has proved to be pretty good. I got caught out on the road bike in the dark and though this would be a good emergency light. I don't use it on planned night rides but its nice to have just in case

I got it from halfords for about £15
+1 for Topeak pocket rocket. It's nice and solid and works well. It's designed with a narrow body so gets up to high pressures quite easily. I've had one for years.
Giant do an excellent one with a hose. Contact Mini, IIRC.
Just ordered this http://www.wiggle.co.uk/lezyne-pressure-drive-mini-abs-pump-small/ from wiggle. On offer at £20.99
Xth (whatever number we're up to) for Lezyne also, in fact mine got me home this very weekend. Probably the 3rd time I've ever had to use it.
I've got a spare one of those Lezyne pressure drive jobs, in black and silver if you want it ? Used once or twice and pretty much mint. £15 posted ? email in profile if anyone interested in it.
It's surplus as I bought a new blue one to match my new CDF30 🙂
