Does anyone have a hand pump they swear by? Looking for something dual-action that fits in the jersey pocket and does both Schraeder and Presta valves.
A gauge would be a bonus but as long as it pumps well I can live...
Lezyne alloy drive - it's not dual action, but they last longer and inflate faster than anything else I've used.
Pretty much all my riding mates use them now.
Sweet, cheers. Think Ill go for the Lezyne one then.
I used one the other day. Absolutely brilliant and the best by far.
you can get a 'guage' for the lezyne if you get the hose with the pressure display.
be sure to unscrew the hose carefully though as you can unscrew your removable core as well if you are not careful.

"Hand pump - recommendation"

Having used both, I prefer [url= http://www.topeak.com/products/Pumps/MiniMorph ]this[/url] for presta valves. As mentioned before, it's too easy to unscrew the valve core with the Lezyne when getting the pump off at the end, and it's a complete pain when it happens.
Quicker inflation with the Topeak, comfier T-handle, plus the bits you hold are plastic not metal so they don't heat up to a million degrees in your hand!
