bike hand pump - recommendation/experience/alternative?
I've long carried a full-frame zefal hp x3 pump for emergency tire
inflations - however, I don't have any part of the frame available due to several water bottle cages and some other frame attachments. I am thinking of instead carrying a smaller hand pump that I can fit into a rear duffle (pack). Looking for recommendations for something that will do in a pinch to say, repair a slow leak. I've heard the smaller (mountain bike) type hand pumps are a monster to use to fill a tire - experiences/recommendations, particularly from anyone who's gone from a full-sized pump to a smaller one? Alternatives? |

I've long carried a short pump that fits in a separate section of my handlebar bag, along with tire iron, patch kit, spare tube. I can't pump a tire to the recommended pressure, but it's adequate for getting home, and good upper-body exercise. - Max -- Tips for Healthy Brain Aging from the Alzheimer's Disease Center at Penn - - * Cognitively stimulating activities - Read, do crossword puzzles, play cards or a board game every day. * Education - Take a class or attend lectures. Advise the next generation to stay in school. * Exercise - Talk to your doctor about designing an exercise program, even as simple as walking, geared just for you. Individual sessions should be at least 30 minutes long. * Avoid head injury - Always buckle your seatbelt. Wear a helmet when biking. * Good nutrition - Eat a heart-healthy diet; it may benefit your brain as well. * Cholesterol and blood pressure - Maintain your cholesterol and blood pressure within normal limits. |

What about the left seat stay? Alternatives? I 2nd "Topeak Road Morph": better than just about any frame pump, including the Zefal hpX. |
