Lezyne Control Drive

Good, dosing with dial takes some getting used to
Nice and small and convenient to carry. I went for this new version where you can dose by turning the dial. This takes some getting used to.

Pricey but perfect. Unfortunately, within 1 week I had to use it twice.
Pros & Cons

Really small!
Purchased this pump to use in addition to my hand pump. Having a hand pump with you always gave/gives me a safer feeling. But disadvantage; you never get the tire to an acceptable pressure (with CO2, about 8 bar is promised in your race tires). And this one from Lezyne is really super small (45x30x17 mm) so it fits perfectly in a saddlebag or cycling shirt. Also important; you just push this pump on your valve. Screwing it on always risks damaging the valve. I immediately bought 10 cartridges of Activ8. Just take the cheapest, always fits. A footnote to Mantel.... The stuff was tipped loose in a mailbox package. Fortunately, the 10 cartridges (a fair weight) did not (visibly) damage the pump.
