Best tyre pump / inflator to keep on the bike?

[Danny]

Hey all,

What is the best compact tyre pump/inflator to keep on the bike?
Only really need it in case I need to inflate a tyre after a puncture repair on the road.

I use a Joe Blow pump at home but it's not well suited to carrying on the bike:

Thanks all!

Yeah, I have something similar - what one would call a stirrup pump - and apart from the pressure gauge only giving you a vague idea it precludes the need to waste a quid at the petrol garage.

I'd be looking at something like a TopPeak Mountain TT G - high volume for MTBs, max 60psi - should do at a pinch.

FFS just flag down an HGV, they have air brakes so tend to have air lines and can fill your tyre.

I carry one of these in my topbox:

Does the job, but wish it was just a bit smaller for lugging around. I've heard of people removing the outer casing and using it that way.

https://www.airman-uk.com/product/tour-compressor/ looks like a good shout (don't know how big it is but 'looks' smaller !)

Back in the 80's I had a Simson S51 - it came with a bicycle type pump clipped under the seat.

Only bike I've ever seen that came with a pump as standard.

(Although I'm sure there are others!)

Been meaning to get one of the co2 cartridge inflators to go with my puncture kit. Looks a lot less bulky and lighter than electric pumps.

Rocky Creek Motopresser.
Although three CO2 canisters will put just enough air into a rear tyre to get you to a petrol station forecourt at reduced speeds where you can use their compressor to top up.

bike-it fold up motorbike pump should be renamed, the ACME tyre deflator.

100% Recommend!

It fits inside my tyre repair kit and I used it like 30 times to top up the tyre pressure and still have half battery left, amazing product
