I’m traveling and I don’t want to deal with airlines and CO2 cartridges. Does anyone have any kind of pump small enough to carry on the bike that will easily get a road tire up to 70-80 PSI?
I tried the Lezyne digital road drive and by the time I got the tire to 56 PSI, I was done.
I use the Silca Tattico and have been very happy with it. It’s pricey though.
Silca gravelero is pricy, but it will pump your tire up super fast, which is awesome.
check out the fumpa pumps. the nano is pretty small.

+1 for the Tattico, I have both the standard and the digital (works with an app to show pressure). I have used them to pump up my own and a couple people along the road. All times it was easy and got to the desired pressure. I would recommend the Tattico.
If anyone is looking for a moderately less expensive alternative to the Tattico, they might want to check out the Flo mini pump. Its… very darn similar.
For the OP, the Fumpa is fantastic for travel. Get the larger one, it’s worth having the pressure gauge and the higher capacity, and get the (optional) “elbow nozzle kit”.

I have two Lezyne pumps and the Micro Floor drive is worth the extra 100 grams over the smaller mini pump. It has a hose, screw-on nozzle, foot peg and small handle.
The Pressure drive is super nice until you have to use it and then it is a pain. The Micro Floor drive is just so much more convenient for small to large tires, though it maxes out at about 80 psi for road tires.
It is like 230 grams or so.
Topeak Road Morph G will get you to 90+ psi relatively quickly. It’s a frame pump, not pocket sized, but good for travel.
I can’t recommend enough the Performance XS minipump by Shimano Pro. It’s so small it fits confortably in a jersey back pocket, and it can easily get a tyre to 90 PSI - in the specs, it says it goes up to 120 PSI.
I bought the Silca Tattico yesterday and it was fantastic. I pumped up a flat tire very quickly and then went to a tire that was already at 80 PSI and had no trouble pumping it up higher. Thanks for all the suggestions.
