Yah, maybe if you spend half the day pumping and tiring yourself out to get it there, but they are only good to get you to "limp mode" riding to find a gas station to top up at best.

The Quikex quicker pro actually lives up to it's claims. It can reach high pressures pretty easily and takes close to as many strokes as a larger zefal HP. It's a great mini pump.
