Pump for Jersey Pocket???
Whats up guys, i'm looking to get a small pump to carry with me on my rides. I have a 16g c02 cartridge and inflator head but i wanna get a pump as a backup in case the c02 ever fails on me. I've been riding longer and longer distances thus me going farther from home. If something happens and for whatever reason my c02 head fails i'd be SOL. I have a small saddle bag and its already filled to capacity so i'm looking for a small pump i can throw in my jersey pocket for my rides. I know i can't get maximum psi out of small hand pumps but if i were to the point i'd be using it all i'd be concerned about is making it home.
If anyone has any good recommendations for a small pump please let me know. Not looking to spend a lot of money but if need be for a quality one i can shell out more. Thanks

I've got one of the Lezynes (https://www.amazon.com/Lezyne-Pressur.../dp/B001T7RSA8). Pocket or bottle cage mount. GL

Nashbar Stage 2 works great for me.

It definitely takes a lot of pumping to reach high pressure, but the pump works and it definitely fits in a jersey pocket.

As for group rides, family schedule means solo mostly. But check the socal threads for rides leaving from the Griffith Park going up through La Canada / Flintridge / Pasadena, etc.

I just ordered a Leyzne pressure drive S. Has a hose so you can crank away without snapping your valve stem. Goes up to 120 PSI, supposedly.
I'll be trying to fit it in my seat bag, but it may end up in my jersey pocket.

I have bottom one; it is small (fits inside my smallish bag along with a tube, some change and a tire iron, and it would certainly take up little space in a back pocket) and it works. Although, it does take a fair bit of pumping action to get up to 80psi or so. I've used it twice. I learned a bit after the first flat (in the middle of the AustinTri ride for those in the ATX) and I was able to pump up my tire much faster when I used it a second time (Cedar Point area of Ohio). [Maybe I keep a mental log of flats, smile.]

I have only used mine to seat the tire before using co2. I almost dread the day when I have to use it as a backup when I am out of co2.

The Topeak Mini Morph works well for me but having seen the Lezyne high pressure pump I'll go that route when my Mini Morph needs replacing.

Are you talking about the Pressure Drive? If so, the monikers are Pressure Drive Medium and Pressure Drive Small. Haven't seen the Small anywhere, but I haven't been looking for it, either.
