Silca  Tattico Mini Pump

I needed a mini pump because I wanted an item which was compact, easily stow-able and high quality. So far without having used it yet, my unboxing of this items seem to confirm all points. This is ultra portable but I am unsure if I'd want to mount it to my bike. There are no instructions, and I needed to watch a video on the internet to understand how I yank out the retractable cord part (you just pull it) and for the longest time thought I was unscrewing the valve by only unscrewing the black bit labelled presta... turns out ya need to unscrew the whole thing including the silver section. This item was on backorder, I purchased on July 2, it shipped July 14, and delivered by July 21.

This a sturdy pump with a very smooth action. Every aspect of the pump seems to have been thought through. It is both rugged and small. It runs at approximately twice the cost of other pumps on the market, so that’s a consideration. I’ve used air pumps my whole life. Most of them work well, most of the time, but in most respects the actual mechanical design and implementation limits the pump’s useful working life. This pump seems to have none of those drawback. It works well and feels great in operation. The bracket that holds the pump to the bike is perfectly adequate.

I want to preface my review by saying this is the best mini pump on the market, and it gets 5 stars any day every day. That said, the included bracket is worthless. Instead of directly off to the side, in the same plane as the mounting tabs, the pump snaps in and out of the bracket in a plane perpendicular to the mounting tabs. On my particular bike and bottle cages combination this means that either the frame tube of the bottle cage will obstruct taking the pump in and out of the bracket; and if I try to mount it on the seat tube, the cranks hit it, so I have to carry it in my jersey pocket. This really isn't a problem in reality, though you should know it if you'd rather have your mini pump carried on the frame.

This is a fantastic mini pump! I’ve been carrying it with me for about 2 years of daily, all-season riding. Thankfully, I haven’t had to use it too often. However, it’s worked well when needed. It's incredibly well-designed, and pumps tires to higher pressures more easily than other mini pumps. The flexible hose makes it easier to use, and neatly tucks away. The chuck keeps the pump attached securely during use. The heat sinks must work, because it doesn’t get hot during use. The aluminum barrel is rugged and durable. While I’ve used the included bracket for longer recreational rides, I usually just keep it in my pannier to avoid having to remove it when locking my bike up. The knurled texture makes it easier to use during inclement weather. I highly recommend this pump!

It was a little pricey and slightly heavy, but it performs great. I did a home test and then had to fill a flat on one of my first rides with it (a 700c x 42) and it performed great. Easy to attach, good amount of air for the size, and didn't overheat. The grip is also nice, and the quality feels great. The design is also cool, with the hose coming out of the solid piece, and having a hose makes a huge difference for ease of use and avoiding bending/breaking your valve stem.

Silca Tattico pump is a high quality pump that is excellent for those occasions where you find yourself needing to pump up a tire on the side of the road. I've had several "lesser quality" lightweight mini-pumps over the years, often leaving me very frustrated! On a recent tour, we had to use the Silca Tattico multiple times, it worked great. Air volume is good, the air chuck is excellent and overall weight is acceptable. Buy quality, pay the price, one-time!

Hands down the best mini pump on the market for the money. Locking chuck, Silca quality, doesn't get hot during use, and the telescoping hose means you won't waste time fiddling around with assembling the pump like you do with similar products from other brands. The included mount is a nice touch as well that I've found very functional.

Beautifully machined hand pump. Ergonomic, knurled metal grip works in all weather conditions - sweaty hands included. Successfully seated tubeless tire rim bead on 700x38. Light weight.

Sturdy metal construction, a little bit heavier than others but efficient (inflate tubeless 30 x 700 in about 100 pumps) and doesn’t get hot when pumping hard. Mounted next to water bottle cage on down tube and stays in place when ridding gravel stretches.

The only pump i use ,CO2 no longer needed ,just buy extra brackets and transfer pump from Bike to Bike ,
