Good pumps always. 1)They put better air in the tube. Nitrogen primarily rather than pure CO2. Tires stay inflated longer (so they tell me). 2) Less wasteful and cheaper. 3) Topping off whenever I feel like it is easy.

Now there may be good mini pumps but as long as I can get and keep working Zephal HPs and HPXs I am not likely to change. They simply work. 100 strokes or less to pressures we used long before this new low pressure mantra. Good to far higher pressures than I will ever need.

Yes, no hose. I can damage tubes being careless. But simply wrapping my pump head hand around the adjacent spokes works really well. And you cannot beat the easy on/off with those pump heads and levers.
