A mini pump is a bike pump that is compact enough to fit in your back pocket, saddle pack, or inside your frame, so you can always take it with you on a ride. At a minimum, it needs to pack enough punch so that, if you happen to get a flat (it happens!), you can get back without bottoming out your rim. In a nutshell, mini pumps are a no-brainer for any cyclist.

Travelling light is a cardinal rule of thumb for cyclists - to fuel non-stop riding and high performance. Luckily, with a portable mini pump in tow, you never have to compromise between weight and preparation. Avoid being caught with a deflating tire without the means of fixing it. A situation, like this, can almost certainly make or break your ride. To avoid unfortunate mishaps, ensure you pack a mini bike pump on all your rides. Given their portability, mini pumps can be easily stored in your pack, tucked into your jersey, or even become an extension of your bike by simply clipping it to the frame.

At NOMAD, we recognize that no one size fits all. That’s why we stock a vast range of options to suit your budget and preferences. 

SILCA’s popular Tattico Bluetooth® mini pump embeds a Bluetooth®-enabled pressure transducer inside of SILCA’s award-winning Tattico mini-pump, allowing you to read large-scale pressures (accurate to 1%) on your Apple or Android device in real-time.
