Portland Design Works Ninja Pump
Best versatile inflation tool for minimalist road cyclists.
This is the ultimate insurance policy for roadside flats, merging the reliability of a manual pump with the instant speed of CO2. You sacrifice a bit of weight compared to a dedicated inflator, but the peace of mind of having two distinct inflation methods in one pocket-sized package is unbeatable.
