As the title really - full size? Compact? Open to suggestions really.
topeak road morph. excellent pump (good bit better than the mountain equivalent)

Zefal HPX is the easiest to use, if you can fit it on it's worth the money.
I've only tried a few mini pumps, most were shite, ones with a little tube that allowed you to use them like a mini track pump were the best - it's about getting decent oomph into your stroke* which is tricky if it's short.
*pun fully intended.
Lezyne,best road pump Ive ever owned.Fantastic quality,tiny,light and it works.
+2 for lezyne, actually having a hose instead of direct attachment makes life a lot easier, but get a road drive not a mini drive.
the crank brothers one i got last decade or was it last century is still going strong, has a low and high setting which helps. also has a car valve for stranded motorists
+3 for Lezyne - I have the road drive, it pumped up a rear tyre in minuites yesterday...
And on the basis of its superiority I bought an Alloy drive for the MTB too. 😀
A big -1 for lezyne for me.
Have the mini pump and track pump - they both use a screw on chuck. I've lost count of the number of times they have unscrewed the valve core as well when taking off the chuck. (Even had to abort a tri after it happened 3 times on the same tyre). A drop of gt85 hasn't helped.
Much prefer my topeak morph.
+1 for Zefal HPX - it pumps up a rear tyre in less than a minute...
😀
Thanks all - think that gives me enough to be going on with 🙂
airbone is great. road morph is good but an annoying size, bit big for a jersey pocet.
+1 for Zefal HPX - it pumps up a rear tyre in less than a minute...
I have one on my winter bike, which has a pump peg specially designed for the Zefal. How do you fit one to a frame without the pump peg?
I didn't think the road drive would fit in my jersey... the mini drive is a perfect fit
To all those with the Lezyne. Any one got a red one? Is it as pink as it appear on Chain Reaction?

Anyone got a Topeak Race Rocket? Recommended by my LBS but yet to purchase!!!

W/o a peg, I've put a zip tie round the head tube to use the engagement part as a peg for the pump IYKWIM, thought about aralditing something on there to do the job too but not got round to it yet.
Oh and ben:
Another one in the Lezyne camp.

I use a Topeak Road Morph on the winter bike, looks fugly but it works very well (and functionality beats looks on a winter bike). On the summer bike I use a Lezyne small HP pump, easily fits in the jersey pocket - still has a flexible hose (which is a key requirement for me) but takes a lot more strokes and grunt to get 90+psi in a tyre than the Topeak.
