Mini Pump
What is the consensus on the best mini pump that gets to at least 75-80 psi without being a gorilla? I do research and Topek Mini Morph seems the best.. I don't want a full frame pump but open to options and opinions. I just know those pint size little deals generally don't cut it. My current no name Envo of whatever gets me to about 62 psi but huge work and no flexible hose.

Nicely machined aluminium and with a flexible hose. The smaller diameter road pumps are good for at least 100psi, if not 120psi. The larger diameter pumps are better for larger volume and lower pressure tyres. There is a range to choose from, from Lezyne. The *only* issue I have had was when I hadn't used the pump for a while and after its previous use with sweaty hands, the aluminium end on the flexible hose had corroded to the pump body. I make sure it is basically clean and dab a little grease on the thread now. -- JS |

It might be handy to see a chart of "pump strokes to 100 psi" for various brands and models, starting from an empty tube. -- - Frank Krygowski |

Diameter and length affects volume / stroke. Diameter also affects force @ pressure. To minimize force and strokes, opt for smaller diameter and longer barrel. However - is it still a "mini pump" with a long barrel? I've got a Lezyne road drive pump for my road bike with up to 25mm tyres @ 100psi, and a higher volume Lezyne pump for my gravel bike that has 42mm tyres @ 50psi. 100psi is easily achievable for the road bike, but I wouldn't want to use the larger diameter & volume gravel bike pump to reach 100psi, though it might take fewer strokes. -- JS |

Ie beyond 50psi or so doable but slower etc. I have a frame pump think it’s Topeaks Morph on the commute bike, which is also the pump I take abroad in the bike box etc type holidays, which is quite capable but then it’s frame pump ish sized.

I don't believe that. Did you ever checked that? I don't either. My minipump does about 5.5 bar ~ 80 psi. This takes quite some time and leaves me somewhat exhausted. Tried this recently, after a similar discussion in the German language bicycling newsgroup. https://www.mystrobl.de/Plone/radfahren/technik/komponenten/taschen/DSC_3462.jpeg 5.5 bar is enough for me on that bike, for getting home. -- Wir danken für die Beachtung aller Sicherheitsbestimmungen |

I've gotten up to 110 PSI without killing myself. Usually on other peoples' tires! Also good advice: There is a spectrum of features, materials, weight, size and price.
