The Topeak Road Morph can reach 120psi, even when used by a
lightweight person. It's a pretty heavy pump, though. The
tiny pumps generally have a hard time getting past 80-100psi
unless you're a big strong guy.

Tinyer the better.

The Barbieri CarbOne Mini Pump weighs 69g, produces 142psi,
and fits in my TUFO under-seat tire bag along with a tire.
It's a bit pricey at around $30 but it works well producing
ride-able pressure with minimal effort, though lots of
strokes. You just have to get past the feeling you're using
the pump from your little sisters Barbie & Ken TDF play set.

Impressive pressure! But it is 23cm long and not available
in UK. I'm looking at 15cm max.

The Crank Bros mini is 14cm long, weighs 93g, and produces
100psi. I generally hear good word of mouth about Crank
Bros. stuff, but don't have any first hand experience.
Several sources say the 100psi is slightly conservative, but
that might just be blather.

Can you really get 142psi with it, or is that just under lab
conditions?

I use a Blackburn Airstik
(wiggle.co.ukwiggle.co.ukOpen ↗). It takes
forever (which I gather is common to mini-pumps) but it gets
there in the end. It's nominally rated to 160psi.

I've only pumped the CarbOne up to 120psi (23mm Michelin Pro
Race), which requires over 300 small, fast, relatively easy
strokes. 142psi may well take more strokes than anyone has
time for. This one is my favorite so far - the barrel
stiffness in particular makes it better than most mini-
pumps. Small size and negligible weight are pluses.

_ Mine works as advertised, but it will take quite some time
to get to 100psi. I generally give up at around "ridable"
and 10 minutes with rest stops.

I use an inexpensive Silca mini, and it gets enough pressure
to get me home.

I discovered one interesting benifit of it on a ride last
week: another rider had a deep dish rim, and his spare's
valve was only long enough to barely stick out of the rim.
He didn't have a valve extender and the only pump of 5
riders that could seal on the valve was mine with the metal
cover over the gasket removed. Then the gasket fit much
deeper onto the rim.

DONT get a Blackburn Airstick!

This is the worst pump I have ever had! I give up well
before I get to a ridable pressure and borrow someone elses
decent size pump!

And now my wife's one has given up the ghost. Internal
corrosion has eaten away some tiny springs and blocked the
micro size holes that the air has to go through. And this is
sunny Oman where it rains maybe once a year!
