The Mini Pump… as cyclists we give these things such a bad rap. Partly because so many of them are crap and partly because you only use them when you have flat, so you are already in a bad mood.
But I have had my Topeak Mini DXG for a few years now and think it is the best pump out there. I have used it to pump road, mountain and cross tubes without a problem.
It features Topeak’s SmartHead which works on either Schrader or Presta valves without any adjustment.
One really nice feature is the built in gauge which lets you know if you have done the minimum amount of pumping you can to not get a pinch flat on the rest of the ride.
It has a stout handle and pump head with textured grips.
Part of the reason you can pump a tube up so fast is that it works on the in and out stroke.
I have hated or broken every pump i had before this one. I have had this one now going on 3 years so that says something! Pick one up for your camelback.
