Newbie321 Posted May 20, 2021 Share I have a cheap ryder hand pump I use on my MTB which works fine for those low pressures but today I tried it on my road bike and struggled to get any air at around 70 psi into the tube, it became physically difficult though not impossible. So defeated I got the floor pump out. Any recommendations on a good hand pump for those road side fixes or should I just hit the gym? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nico van Loggerenberg Posted May 20, 2021 Share Lezyne is never a bad idea, I also have a Topeak RaceRocket which works great. Jackie Thamsanqa Maholwana 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomo Posted May 20, 2021 Share What about CO2 for roadside fixes.? Hand pump is a good backup and even at 70psi should at least get you home or to a fuel station forecourt where you can top up. Eddy Gordo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jbr Posted May 20, 2021 Share 2Co2 cartridges just in case you ****** the first one for any reason. Haven’t carried a pump in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rorydewet Posted May 21, 2021 Share I carry the Giant Control Mini Pro which is a dual pump, air and CO2. I also carry 2 CO2 bombs I'm running tubeless Major flats I use the bombs Topping up I use the pump However I have a floor pump at home and before leaving home I always pump to required pressure the pump on bike is for issues while riding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lechatnoir Posted May 21, 2021 Share I ride with a Lezyne when I have to. It has a little hose that screws into the barrel and has both presta and schrader fittings. It's neat. I've needed it once and it was so very helpful. It's one of those things I'd miss if I didn't have it.

David Marshall Posted May 21, 2021 Share Hi Pressure Lezyne with the hose. Pump until it is too hot to hold - that is about 100psi. Any road specified pump should work but you need to pump, pump and pump some more. Jackie Thamsanqa Maholwana 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devocean Posted May 21, 2021 Share I second that Lezyne Pocket Drive hand pump. It fit's in a bottle and can get tyres pretty hard. I carry spare tube, pump and glue and patch kit in a bottle in spare bottle cage, never have to worry about a double puncture.

But considering a pump for those extra long days. I already have glueless patches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomo Posted May 21, 2021 Share Pumps are to give to your mates when they puncture and you need a longer break and a good laugh at their expense.! ???? CO2 love2fly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
