BlackburnMountain AnyValve Mini Pump(Return to Product Page)

This pump is used mainly for mountain biking. The included mount fits well under my bottle cage and the pump is well secured to it. I happen to have a Shrader valve infant and a Presta on the rear but the switch over on the Blackburn pump makes that simple.

This is quite easy to use, and works well for my presta valve on the 23s I ride on. I haven't had any issues with the valve connector. Many of these pumps are small and require a lot of work and repetitions to pump the tire up to even a small amount of air, but this is larger, about an inch in diameter and about 9 inches long, and really is pretty quick, at least enough to get you home.

Of course, the downside is that it's a little harder to sneak it away in a small bag attached to your bike, or always have it in your backpack, but I think it's worth that inconvenience.

This would be excellent for bike packing just because it would be your primary pump.

I wish it had another way to attach to the to the bike. It has a clip for attaching to a water bottle cage, which looks great, but I think it only works for the seat tube spot, and not if you already have a water bottle cage on it, and my bike has only the one on the down tube anyways. It's hard to find a way to attach it otherwise, but I think that's more of a me problem.

I use the pump as a primary way of filling my tires while out on the road. I ride on average 50-60 miles per week. When I need to fill my tires, this Blackburn pump does the job. It fills my tires up to a high pressure and does it without trouble. It is lightweight and compact as well. It is very affordably as well.

Very cheap light plastic, I doubt it will last long. I prefer my Leyzne with the flexible hose connecter, which I've had for years and still works, but takes a lot of effort as it is only a one way pump.
