Delivers rideable pressure without much fuss in a good-looking and light package, but check your valve cores first
Topeak RaceRocket Mini is small and light and will get your tyres back up to usable pressures surprisingly quickly. With comfortable ergonomics and a nice-to-hold gripper, it's a good choice, screwing onto valves to create a super secure link. I wasn't able to reach the claimed psi, and it does sometimes take a few goes to form a perfect bond, but overall it performed well.
The RaceRocket can inflate both Schrader and Presta valves. After popping off the attached rubber dustcap, you unscrew a metal nut from the end of the pump which reveals a flexible hose that arrives set up to work on a Schrader valve. In order to make it Presta compatible, you unscrew the same end point, and eventually this reveals a longer inner chamber where a Presta valve can slot inside.
There is just one setting, which Topeak claims gives out 32.6cc per stroke, and you're meant to be able to achieve 120psi in a road tyre, but this simply was not possible for me: 150 strokes got my 28mm tyre to 38psi, by which point it was getting pretty stiff, and that was enough pressure to have me rolling again.
The pump also works with smooth-sided inner tube valves. As long as there is a thread on the valve core, the RaceRocket Mini attaches okay.
