I have a full size track pump in my garage and my old mini pump has finally died. Whilst I was thinking of just getting another cheapy, I started looking around at small pumps with a flexible hose to save wear on the valve.

I was just wondering if anyone has used either of the 2 pumps I am about to list, or have any other suggestions of a bicycle pump that fits the following criteria

• small
• flexible hose
• presta/schrader compatible
• foot pad (optional but desirable)

The following 2 items match all 4 criteria

BikeHut Travelling Track Bike Pump (Any idea who makes this for Halfords/Bike Hut?)
£21.99 at Halfords

• Lightweight aluminium Pump with runner grip handle
• Folding foot support to enable the use of the Travelling Track Pump and add stability
• Long reach arm and hose with universal joint for use with most bikes
• Ideal for high pressure inflation up to 120psi
• Single action
• Presta / Schrader Valves
• Up to 120 PSi

Unfortunately not dimensions are given for this one.

Topeak Mini Morph
£24.99 from Halfords

• Fold-out Foot Pad
• Flexible Hose
• Mounting Bracket
• Presta/ Schrader/ Dunlop Valves
• 160 psi/ 11 bar
• 170 g / 5.98 oz
• 26 x 5 x 2.8 cm (10.2” x 2.0” x 1.1”)

Of the 2 I'm leaning towards the Topeak - for me it is more of a trusted brand. Just a pity the Bike Hut one doesn't give any dimensions to measure it up against. Unfortunately neither have a built in pressure guage.
