Best Travel pump?
Quote | Reply
Any recommendations?

I travel frequently with my bike(s) and I have yet to find a decent travel pump that will actually give me 100psi despite manufacturer claims. I have purchased several where they claimed 100psi when in fact I was lucky to get 55. Made for a good emergency pump but that is about all.

agree. I have one, though an older model, and it's no problem getting 100psi (takes a bit of work, though not unreasonable given its size)

I'm very happy with this one. I can easily get 100 psi with it.

Another vote for this Lezyne model.

We have one of those that goes in one of our bike bags, and a couple of the pocket mini-pumps (Blackburn I think) that we take with us. We take the latter that for first ride (can't fly with CO2), if we can't get to a store for C02 easily before that first ride happens.

I've also had good luck with a lezyne travel pump, though I didn't like the short hose or the valve that came with it, so I had my lbs put a standard hose and valve on the lezyne pump.

I've been extremely pleased with the Lezyne pump. It's a great size, small enough for travel but big enough that it is still robust enough to work well. Integrated pressure gauge seems accurate and the travel bag is very. While the hose is shorter than their other pumps, it still works fine. I also quite like the screw on connector and prefer it to the connector that they include on some of their newer pumps.

I've used it with both my road bike and mountain bike, and have no issues with either. It packs nicely in my bike Evoc Pro bike case.

THIS ^^^^ This was actually my XMAS gift this year. It's the only thing I wanted material wise. My bike (2010) is fine, it works. But travel is always a problem when it comes to filling my tires. A normal pump puts my box over the weight limit of 50 lbs. With this, it's all good now. Sturdy/solid pump.

Same... have the Lezyne but wasn't in love with the valve that came on it... haven't changed the hose although it is a bit short.

I put a locking head on it that works with my disc. It's absolutely perfect now! Fits in my carry on easily, transition bag or can be packed with bike.

I've got an old Silca Pista (~1984) and it's exactly what you want out of a travel pump. Durable with easy to get ahold of replacement parts if the need arises, easy to pack and does an excellent job pumping up tyres (well above 100psi)
Having a classic look is just icing.

The new one looks nice, but the oldies are cheap to pick up on ebay and work great.
