The Leyzne Road Drive is the best I'm aware of taking a 23mm tire to 70-80 psi in 200 strokes. While far better than competing designs which reach just 40-50 psi with that effort, it still takes over 100% more.



I can't buy a compact, easy to stow CO2 system that'll take care of the 9 flats possible with two spare tubes and a large Rema patch kit.

Compact frames with sloping top tubes leaving little room for extras inside the main triangle may preclude using full-size frame pumps, although lots of middle age guys still ride conventional frames like we did 20 years ago.
