I recently bought an amazingly clever mini-pump, which is particularly suitable for a lot of folding bikes, It's called an 'Airace Fit Tele R' (http://www.wiggle.co.uk/airace-fit-tele-r-mini-road-pump/) it is small & very light and features a flexible pipe which allows it to connect to the most awkward valves :thumb:

Some of the airace pumps are designed to fit inside a 27.2mm seat post. They are held in with a O ring. Izzat one?

lezyne pumps have hoses.... Im not sure how well they'll work for your awkward valves but its easy for me.

It is normally hidden inside the pump (which can also be used as a normal rigid, double telescoping pump), I would say that the flexi section, which is released by twisting the end cap, is 2.5"-3.0" long, Max 100psi

Yes, they look great too, but $79+ for these, and about £16 delivered for the Airace is a big price difference, I plan to buy a second one to put in my GF's Brompton bag.

What's the length of that pump? I bought a Topeak Race Rocket (http://www.topeak.com/products/Pumps/racerocket_black) since it was similar but cheaper then the Lezyne pumps. Good quality and does the job.

I also bought the Topeak, I am really pleased with the performance. Got one in a few seatposts, Moulton, Brompton. Great design for the valve adapter too.

Have a Topeak Road Morph already, in addition to the Zefal one
that is already on the back portion of the M3L.

I don't think it would easily fit into a seat tube, as it has a metal 'over centre' style clip to attach it to the valve, length is only about 6"

Fits in the seatpost? How do you keep it from falling out?
