Pumps
My old Crank Brothers Power Pump is a major pain to use. Just today I got a flat on the trail, and it takes forever to pump the tire back up. Then about 3 minutes later I went flat again. I was more careful to check the tire this time and found I had a tiny pricker just sticking through my tire. I didn't check the inside of the tire the first time because my tire was muddy and I didn't want to get mud and rocks inside, but after the second flat I knew I had something stuck in the tire. After I finally got it pumped up I go to remove the pump and the tip of the presta valve broke off inside the pump. I had that happen once last year so I decided to get rid of this tiny pump. The throw on the pump is only 2.5", which is basically useless. The new Wrench Force Mini has a 6.5" throw, and it works great. Plus, I got a C02 inflator just in case I'm too lazy to use the regular pump.
