Ok- I know this topic has come up many times, but like many of you my search for a great transition pump was never quite resolved, until now!
Electric pump with USB charging, 12.9 oz/366 g, 8 inches long, 2 1/4 inch dia, digital gauge, and auto shut off with selected pressure up to 120 psi. It even comes with a water bottle cage mount ! Price is about $ 49 on Amazon.
I tested this extensively before using at Oceanside and St George. Battery will last about 8-10 minutes of pumping, which is enough to fill from flat about 4 - 700c x 25 tires to 100 psi, or many top offs. It takes slightly under 2 minutes to fully inflate a flat tire (100 psi). It takes about 5-10 seconds to top off 5- 15 psi. I made multiple tests of the gauge, with my Topeak digital as the “standard. In all cases the Topeak measured within 1 psi (@ 100 psi) of the pumps gauge, with the Topeak always being the same or 1 psi lower. I attribute this difference to small pressure loss engaging and disengaging the gauges.
The auto shut off has worked perfectly every time. I have set my pump to 102 psi. The process is simple- 1) open presta valve 2) screw on schrader to presta adapter 3) attach pump head 4) press “on” button 5) wait a few seconds for pump to reach set pressure and turn itself off. DONE!
Important note- THIS PUMP WILL NOT WORK IF YOU USE TUBE STYLE PRESTA EXTENDERS. You have to use the supplied schrader to presta adapter, which screws directly on to the presta valve.

Dozens of racers at Oceanside and St George asked where to get one as I was topping off my tires and several friends tires.
Super easy to stow in the supplied morning clothes bag, AND no pumping and struggling to read gauges in the dark (or without your readers!)
