[QUOTE="Peter Holmes, post: 109288, member: 302"] Marcus, first thing is, do not buy this pump from eBay, as I said in my post it costs £18.00 from Wiggle or Chain Reaction, and that includes postage, so cheaper than the Trago Mills electric pump. But what really swings it for me is the weight, as I get older, and to pinch Bill Nortons quip, "I have done the sixties, twice" my bike is definitely getting heavier, Albert Einstein did not explain how this can happen, but it does, the Topeak pump weighs in at 250g and that converts to around 9oz, I should not notice that in the tank bag or panniers, but a lead acid battery with all the other stuff, what does that weigh? to much for me anyway, and I hope never to have to use the pump anyway, but it is there if I need it.
