Hi guys,
I'm new to the forums here, but I've been enjoying the tutorials on this site for some time.
I want to buy a new mini pump for my mountain bike, but I'm not really sure which ones are good. I don't need a top of the range model, I just want something that's straightforward to use, and is not going to break after a week. Being a mountain bike, my tyres have a Schraeder connection, and I think they're rated between 45-60 psi (although I know tyre pressures are a contentious issue), so it wouldn't have to be something that delivers super-high pressure.
I've been having a look at a couple of mini pumps - has anyone used or bought one of these, and are they any good?
- Zefal Air Profil Micro
- Beto 2-stage mini pump with gauge
- Quicker Micro
The Beto has a gauge, but looks like it'd be difficult to see while you're pumping. The Quicker Micro looks like you have to hold it on (rather than having a thumb lock).
Anyone have any other suggestions for a reliable middle-of-the-range mini pump that might suit?
Cheers (and thanks for reading),
Rofey
