I bought this one to keep at home.

Works really well, and takes very little effort to get a good pressure. Has a double sided nozzle for use with both presta and schraeder valves.

In case of emergancy while on the road, I got this from my LBS and a bunch of spare cannisters. Really quick to reinflate to the correct pressure once you've replaced the tube.

I also have one of those. Good quality. I've had cheaper plastic pumps but they don't last. You can get them in halfords for about the same price.


To carry on the bike I have one of these.

They come in a range of sizes and again you can get cheaper but this is much better than the previous specialized mini-frame pump I had. Cycleways on parnell st have them.

I have an SKS Renkompressor at home (excellent) and just a cheap BBB mini pump for when I'm tripping around (does the job up to 100psi, 120 with a bit of effort)

+1 for the Rennkompressor, great pump, well worth the extra few quid!

+2 for the SKS Rennkompressor Superb German Quality. Had my first one for twenty years, and only the barrel washer And the Valve Chuck seal wore out:D All parts easily sourced:)
I still use the old one, keep it in the car. Although I recently treated myself to a new one, the design and the build quality, is the very same as the old one.

Happy Cycling:)
