Push Headrush HeadTurner mini pump

Price: 
£6.99

Despite the bargain basement price tag, the head rush could be perfect for commuters and mountain bikers looking for a simple, reliable pump. Rotating 360 degrees, the swivel head also tilts giving better access to hard to reach valves-the sort typically found on small-wheeled folders, children’s bikes and trailers. A thumb lock prevents frustrating air leakage but swapping between Presta and Schrader valves demands stripping of the valve head, yet the piston action felt smoother than models costing twice the price.

Push O2 Ultralite Alloy mini pump

Price: 
£13.99

Sporting a slender 6063 aluminium barrel, T handle for improved grip and two way action capable of delivering 100psi, the Ultralite would suit riders demanding moderate tyre pressures and needing a reliable pump for roadside emergencies

Commuter Diaries

Well I knew that track pump left at work would prove useful! Today it was used by another rider, who also has a like for coloured tyres!

It's been a quiet few days commuting the only notable thing apart from the great weather was being sprayed with car windscreen wash! I really must take more care when overtaking traffic.

leave a pump at work.

I currently have an SKS retro track pump on the go which I am testing, review to follow. It occurred to me when I was unlocking my bike at work one day, that I should leave the pump there for emergencies and fellow cyclist to use.

Cyclists are a helpful bunch; if you see someone with a flat or mechanical don't you stop and help?
