A bicycle pump for weight weenies
The iPUMP is basically a very lightweight pump for bicycle tires. It weights just 21 grams and there is also a lightweight adapter for Schrader valves.
Although the weight of pumps can hardly be called a problem nowadays I do agree that a bicycle pump should be as light as possible. Over 99% of the time you will not be needing it and it is just useless weight to carry around. However when you do get a puncture a bicycle pump suddenly becomes essential.
Like most small bicycle pumps it does not pump that much air, but since it is aimed at people who are into light weight bicycles they will probably have very narrow tires that do not hold that much air anyway.
The iPUMP has a little hose to connect to the valve which makes pumping easier than a pump woithout because you don not need to hold the pump in place.
If you are the kind of person who spends a lot of money shaving off weight from your bicycle this could be a good pump for you.
