What Trail Pump Do You Use?

When I'm out in the field on long rides away from everybody and wear a backpack I roll with the smaller Crank Brothers pictured on the right over the Park Tools in the middle for size only. The Lezyne on the left is low pressure high volume I took on vacation which worked quite well and only used at our bungalow before rides. Since I've only had 2 flats out in the field, ever, I roll with common C02, tube and hope.

I have 4 different models of hand pumps, one of which is road-bike-specific that stays on the roadie. Of the three MTB models, they all work as needed, but they are different sizes. I weighed each of them before our @Mikie Sabbatical group ride/race and managed to shave 24 grams from my kit by mounting the lightest one to the bike. :cool:

I have the older version of that little Crank Brothers pump (no gauge on mine) and it still works... My only complaint is air volume. I'm half dead by the time the tire is full. The EDC can fill a tire from flat without providing me a heart attack. :eek:

same with me, I cannot remember the date I last flatted on the trail. It was a long time ago. I have had a flat this year but it was when I was leaving and that was a disappointment because I had to fix it instead of riding.
 
I was riding San Juan I climbed up to the top and hit that rocky section got a flat I’d left my pump on my other bike luckily rider came by with a pump which I now have because it’s the best mountain bike pump I’ve used Topeka mountain morph.

I've had a mountain morph for years. On longer rides it's in my pack but have loaned it out a number of times, and used it myself once, maybe twice. It moves a lot of air, has a hose and a foot pad. Best trail pump I've used. No huffing and puffing here.

I now carry CO² on short rides but the Mmorph is there for longer rides.
