Like the look of this pump, might be a handy bit of kit camping or on the tails. (thumbs)

the problem with these pumps is that they use plastic hose and valve clamp. bought one a while ago, hose bursed at 4bar and the valve clamp was very flimsy. it went back to the shop.

I agree, the clamp is pain in the...can swap for proper heavy duty clam, but it will probably cost more than the whole pump !!!

These type of pumps usually take forever to pump up the tyres to the required pressure.

I personally use a 12V electric pump that plugs into the power socket on the bike.

One tip to use is buy a second one from Ebay which are used on the later model cars in place of a spare wheel.

Search string maybe "Honda civic pump".

i could see using one of those on a push bike but why struggle when motorcycles have a battery fitted.

I was thinking about one but I'm not sure how robust it would prove to be.

As were talking travel here with the limitations on storage that requires. I bought a battery operated pump and stripped all the outer casing away, to just leave the actual pump, hose and connecting wire.
Amazing how much space I saved and the unit works perfectly well without all that surplus plastic.
