Portland Design Works Ninja Pump
Best versatile emergency inflator for minimalist road cyclists.
This hybrid tool solves the classic roadside dilemma by combining the reliability of a manual pump with the instant speed of CO2. It’s a bit heavier than a dedicated inflator, but the peace of mind that comes from having a backup plan for your backup plan is worth the extra weight.
