Mini Foot Pumps

[Rapideye]

Hello

I'm thinking of buying a new pump. I run tubeless tyres and take a Lezyne Pocket Drive and some co2 canisters. The pocket drive has been ok when I've had to use it and it's very small and fits in a saddle bag.

I'm now edging towards a mini foot pump, probably to take on longer rides to have a pump with a bit more capacity. It could easily fit in the frame bag. Two I've seen are the Topeak Mini Morph Hand Pump and Lezyne Micro Floor Drive HV Pump.

Anybody have any experience of these or other similar pumps?

I've got one of the Topeaks and a Lezyne HV (from when I had a fat bike). The lezyne looks fancier but the gap between the handle and the pump body is a bit tight so can squash your hands if you aren't careful. The Topeak is the better pump, both the ergonomics and the pump head.

Is it for mtb (high volume, low pressure) or for a road bike (high pressure). If for mtb mine is the Topeak like this and it’s brilliant https://www.spacycles.co.uk/m13b0s42p81 ... Morph-Pump

Gets lots of volume in really fast, don’t really bother pulling out the foot support too much and AFAIR it adds volume on the pull as well as push stroke (or is that my roadie Topeak pump, maybe both, hmmm).

Friend has a Lezyne with foot rest. Whilst it seems to be a good pump overall (he's had it for ages), I can't remember him or anybody else use the foot thing. No experience with the Topeak Morph one, but it surely looks like loads of plastic waiting to snap.

KISS.
Why not a Topeak's Racerocket Mini? Or for faster work the Racerocket MT?
The MT is the pump that lives with the fatbike, since adjustments in tyre pressure are a regular thing. Does it's job well.

Lezyne Micro Floor Drive HV Pump

I have one and take it out on the + bike ( also have pocket rocket which would take days to pump up.those tyres ).
Its ok it does what you expect it to do and i use the foot part ( but you could easily use it by hand )and have never hit my hand - but can see how it would happen.

I've had one of the lezyne ones for about 5 years and it's the only thing I've ever found that reliably gets road tyres up to 100psi without reducing me to tears. I always use the fold out foot thing and very rarely pinch my fingers. The only annoyance is the length of the thing, but it can be mounted behind a bottle cage.

By 'foot pump' I thought you were asking after these: https://stompump.com

FWIW +1 for Lezyne too. I find their HP does pretty well at HV too. I also have their XL one for the fat bike.

Maybe the Stompump is what I actually need

To answer a few points. I don't have a road bike, just Mountain and gravel bike, so I guess no need for the high pressure pumps.

Yes, I had thought that the plastic morph would be more likely to break in some way. More likely than the Lezyne.

Size matters, of course, but I was planning on strapping it to the frame, so not the main factor.

The Race Rocket was on the list but I presumed the other two would give a faster rate. The other one was the Lezyne Pocket Drive HV.

Maybe a little more overthinking and procrastination needed.

Had a couple of (former) Pocket Drive pumps and never liked the somewhat shallow tread and the rubber hose (air tube), which, in my cases tended tl crack within just a couple of years. I must have gone through 3 if them in 10 - 12 years. Been using Topeaks comparable pumps for about 5 years and find there are not just little bit more practical (hose in place, better seated on valve), but the rubber hose still looks like new. Even the anodisation is holding up better.

Cheers for that. I might check my Pocket Drive to see what state it's in. I've had it for about 4 years. TBH, it hasn't had much use when running tubeless. That is also a factor, I guess, not having to call upon it very often but want it to be up to the job when needed. The Pocket Drive was fine when I did need it last year on the gravel bike when I got a puncture when running tubes prior to setting up tubeless.

Welcome

Same here, I just need the above mentioned pump loads when Fatbiking (snow). Otherwise, trailside I need pumps perhaps 5 - 10/year and for myself don't see the need to have a bigger pump. No matter how long or short the trip is.
If time is very crucial I guess folks (myself included) tend to use Co2 anyway and then the back up pump can be tiny.
Got to love a Topeak Micro Rocket Carbon (only about 800 strokes for a 29x2.4" tyre.

Do it! We should all do it! You never realise a pump is knackered until you come to need it, by which time it's too late.

Good thing about the race rockets is that the seal is just an O ring. I carry a spare. Fortunately I have so many punctures I use it regularly

As per postie thread, plumped for the Race Rocket MT in the end. Thanks for all the replies and help.
