What minipump

Topeak Road Morph - it's the one with a hose and fold-out foot, which turns it into a mini track pump. It really is very, very good. As you are pushing against the ground it's much easier to get to high pressures (110psi+). It's also lasted me for over five years without breaking, and I'm hard on kit.

Ultra-tiny Topeak. It takes a billion pumps, but can get to 70 or 80 psi (probably more, but my arm gets tired) and it fits in my seat wedge bag, which is why I selected it.

I use a Lezyne Pressure Drive M and it works great. It is all aluminum and has a hose that screws on the end of the pump and the valve so there is less of a chance of messing up the valve. As with any mini pump getting to 100psi+ is a workout but can be done with this pump. They also sell a separate hose that has a pressure gauge for this pump.

+2 for Lezyne mini pumps, I use the 'Road Drive' all same as above. Best feature is the flex hose, you can really go ape on it without worrying about breaking or pulling the valve.

I've used one of these for a few years and find it pretty good. Actually, I haven't had to use it since I switched from Vittoria to Conti tyres.:D

Lezyne Pressure Drive. Best mini pump I have never used; I have not flatted in a couple of years but have used this pump many times for people I ride with.

Heh!

I was just looking into a possible new mini pump purchase. Just some quick questions:

Some of these pumps claim a max psi of 160! Has anyone ever successfully pumped up their tires up to these pressures? Is it possible with a minipump?

When some of you say that your arm gets tired-is it because it takes so many strokes to get up to pressure (but each stroke is relatively easy) or because it just takes a lot of effort to get up to max pressure?
