Does anyone have any recommendations for tiny bike pumps to keep on my commuter? Durability is preferred, but I don’t want to break the bank if it gets stolen.

    Armoured for an electric bike I’ve had in the past where it didn’t make that much difference, tubeless otherwise. It isn’t so much the weight it is the carry extra crap.

    I commute on the same bike I use for training / fun, what’s your point. Like you say as long as you are conscious of where you are riding I just don’t see the necessity of carrying even more parafinalia around with you.

    A good tubeless set up means minimal rotational weight and not having to stop at all and fight with tyres and tubes and pumps and all that shit. It just all seems illogical to me.

      If you define useful tools as “crap” then i can see why it’s illogical too you.

      I do not define tools as useless “paraphernalia.” I carry enough things with me to get my bike back on the and me to my destination without having to rely on anyone else. If i flat 3 tires on my hour long bike commute, but ive only got 2 CO2 carts, then that pump is going to get me home.
