(More customer reviews)If you're reading a review about mini pumps then it is quite likely you are a weight weenie. I mean anyone carrying a mini pump can't actually be practical, can they?
While I prefer a full-size pump on the road, and a Silca floor pump is simply the best but kind of tough to carry on a bike, not all of my bikes easily mount a frame pump. In particular, I have a go-fast bike for racing, training and fast club rides. And on this bike I prefer CO2 cartridges. Bad for the environment, etc., but the time savings can be more than a little helpful. Also, it's not really practical to carry a full size frame pump on this impractical bike. But what to do if you blow your tube, use the CO2 and then get ANOTHER flat? What if this happens miles from anywhere? I can always try to bum supplies from a buddy -- if a buddy is around. Or...
Or I carry a small patch kit and a mini pump in my saddle bag along with the spare tube and CO2. And this is the mini pump. This baby gets the job done, gets to a reasonably high pressure level with a little effort and provides some good piece of mind. It is also perfect for those times when you have a slow leak and you don't want to break out a fresh CO2 cartridge. So there you have it: it's a mini pump, not a frame pump, so it 'only' gets 4 stars.
PS - It has also come in handy with 'friends' who aren't quite so well prepared. No they don't get the CO2, but they do get to use the mini pump.
