Great & innovative mini pump

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' it is small & very light and features a flexible pipe which allows it to connect to the most awkward valves

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?

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 Ł16 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 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?
