The Best Frame & Mini Pumps
Over the past seven years, we've researched over 23 models of frame pumps to bring you the most in-depth advice available. For this review, we tested 8 of the top contenders, scrutinizing the features of each in our pump-to-pump comparison. A good frame or mini pump for your bike will get your ride back on track as quickly and painlessly as possible. Our bike experts used each of these pumps for months, carrying them on every ride to find out how portable and functional they really are. We fixed accidental road and mountainside flats, intentionally rode around with a slow leak to ensure opportunity, and inflated standard fat and skinny tires from flat to full, counting every compression along the way. It's painstaking work, and we're happy to do it to find the perfect fit for your frame, saddlebag, pack, or jersey pocket.
Frame pumps are great for on-the-go use, but we've also tested full-sized bike pumps and other useful tools like top-rated bike work stands and bike multi-tools.
