Recommend me a bike pump please.

Hi all. My aldi special has gone tits up (surprise surprise).
So looking for something to stick in the backpack for emergencies.
Track pump and compressor in the garage.
What have you guys got?

No particular recommendation apart from a comment made to me on another forum that makes sense - get a pump that attaches to the valve stem by a hose rather than a direct fit as it puts less sideways stress on the valve when you're using it.

It's the flex that's broken on the aldi one. But I know what you mean ?

Topeak mini morph pump (if you can find one!)

Oneup EDC 70cc or lezyne pocket drive "HV"

Lezyne are very good. Different sizes and features to fit your needs.

Cheers for the recommendations ?

I use CO2, although I hardly ever need it with tubeless for some reason in the U.K. The only time I’ve needed a pump regularly since going tubeless was riding in the desert in Arizona where the extraordinary cacti thorns everywhere routinely punctured the tyres. Being 15yrs ago, ‘Slime’ plus a quick pump after it had congealed (like something from the Dark Side) was what the locals showed us was best.
Hypocritically, I do also carry a little pump as well, but I don’t know why I do that and, having never used this one, I can’t really recommend it to you ?

This is what I’m using;
AirXwills Tyre Inflator Portable...

Track pump for the garage/shed, co2 cartridges for the trail. I've got a Crank Bros Sterling for multi day trips.

I carry a Leyzene Micro Floor Drive HV in my pack. Well made, very light (despite the physical size) and makes very quick work of any MTB tire compared to any compact hand held pump I've ever used.

Just ordered one. Thanks.

CO2 in the bike daypack. Not a nasty plastic one. Battery electric in the garage or when I'm on a multi day trip with the camping gear.

 

[Bear-uk]

To be honest I have never needed a pump in anger on the trail for years. But its easier for the odd pressure adjustment to the tyres to grab a pump.
I'm running Oko tubeless fluid and 1 bike has 23 thorns in the front wheel.
Years ago co2 used to react with latex and corrode aluminium but not sure if that is still the case and the Oko is not latex as far as I know.
I will start looking at the suggestions and see what is going to suit me.
Many thanks ?

I have the Topeak Race Rocket and can highly recommend it.
