MTB REVIEW: LEZYNE MINI PUMP

This Lezyne Mini Pump has been showing up in Holy Wow Gang members packs on an ever increasing basis. Every time we ride another member pulls one of these little beauties out of their pack and handles the job of tire inflation with ease.

The Mini Floor Pump HV(high volume) is extremely light weight and shaped just like a floor pump. It even has a fold out foot support to stand on in order to stabilize the pump during the quick job of tire inflation.

Size and weight do matter and Lezyne seems to have nailed it on both accounts. It looks big in the picture but it is only 12 inches long and fits into the average cycle pack with ease. At 300 grams you hardly know it is there until you need it.

One of the nicest features of this little marvel is the valve attachment. You know, the beast that slips off on all your other pumps , just when you are putting the most effort into getting that tire up to riding pressure. Lezyne made theirs a thread on affair and also made it easily adaptable to both presta and shraeder valves. No more sliding off, no more losing all that hard earned air pressure.

All of this for around $40, you gotta have it, almost makes getting a flat enjoyable, NOT. Tyler at Revolution Cycles in Rossland can set you up with one of these. Drop in to the store and check out the trail conditions board while your at it.
