The illuminati clearly realised this pump was too good, and took it off market, all part of the evil plan no doubt. 🙁
um
what's the best mini floor pump to get now?
Truflo Minitrack is excellent... It'd be a 10/10 for me except the chuck will unscrew a loose presta, which is annoying. It won't do it with a properly tightened one but it still catches me out occasionally.
Cheers! looked that up then went with the no nonsense minitrax which I see 10 years ago you thought was also good 🙂
It's a different pump to the old one I used to rave about 🙂 But looks good!
In which case I feel duty bound to provide an early review now...
The minitrax arrived. Haven't pumped a tyre with it yet but it seems fine. It's much like the topeak I used to have, but first subjective impressions are it's a better build quality which is exactly what I wanted (we've had snapped pistons on 2 of those topeaks now). Alternatively you could say it's like the lezyne one except the handle is a sensible size so not physically painful to use 😀 The presta/schrader conversion is easier than the topeak as the whole widget unscrews and inverts rather than having to dig out two fiddly little pieces. Minor criticism, the hose appears slightly marked from where it is tensioned around the handle (in the designed storage position) - being paranoid in nature I may just store it untensioned to prevent that mark ever becoming a hole.
On the topic of those old lifeline motion floor mini pumps you can't seem to buy now - I have one of them strapped to my gravel bike. As it was narrow bore I never considered using it for mtb, but ended up having to do so this week. Wow it works great doesn't it! I think the key is that it's dual-piston so you shift two loads of air with every stroke, which makes up for the narrower bore. They should make more like that.
the topeak mini-morph is currently £17.99 at amazon. I don't think it's dual action and have yet to use it in anger, but I've had both a mountain morph and road morph which have been great, this just looks a little smaller
As I said, I have two topeak mountain morphs in the bin due to broken pistons (and despite purchase of their service kit). I won't be buying their pumps again in a hurry!
