Hi all,

I'm looking for who has the smallest hand pump. I need something that's;

- 19mm or less in diameter.
- Prefer Flexy hose
- Somewhat short or telescopic


Anyone have a particularly small one and some calipers to measure them?

my Aliexpress pump is 12cm long,22mm wide and weighs 45 grams and fits into a jersey pocket. It does have a slight flaw. You need to use small Schrader-to-Presta adapter with it as when i didn't one time the built in head piece adapter that slides out to switch between presta or schrader came apart and detached while pumping. The way the headpiece is designed, if you use a seperate adapter. There is less chance of it detaching and it feels alot more solid to use. No problems after that.

Had my Lezyne for quite some time and I'm very pleased. It's got 17cm, goes up to 120 and has a flexible hose which won't break your valve while pumping. There's even a WW version of it, the Lezyne Carbondrive Lite with 80gr

smallest is one from these guys

however, not really usable ...

I use
http://www.topeak.com/products/Pumps/MicroRocketcb
Takes a lot of pumps to get you home

I think the Blackburn pumps might be the best if you include cost ....

I would have went with the airstik-sl but when I bought the topeak Blackburn was behind a year size wise .....

I had two Blackburn Airstick SLs that worked fine when new, but stopped working and fell apart after about a year. Of course I discovered they had degraded at the worst possible time, when I needed to use them.

IPump, haha nope. At the shop I work at we stock Lezyne and ideally I'd buy one of them.

@wrcompositi that is a nice pump, any physical dimensions?

The Topeak Micro Rocket is pretty much useless as a pump. You can get air into the tire but it takes about 2000 pumps to get it to a rideable pressure. Also, no hose, so you lose air whenever you tilt the pump slightly.

The Lezyne Road Drive (medium) is not that much heavier but it works so much better. It's worth the weight.

I'm in favor of the Lezyne Road Drive, too. Bulky, but does the job.

i had that issue as well. when i first got it...it worked great. had it on the bike and never checked it until i had to use it while on the road. it fell apart at that time. luckily, i have CO2 as well.

i use the CNC Pro mini pump. 19cm in length...has a built in hose you attach to the other side. hasn't fallen apart...since its made quite well. heavier is the only downside.

I had a stay mounted full size pump on one of my (very) old bikes, the point at which it failed was when it rusted through and jammed the plunger and shaft into the wheel.
