I purchased the Lezyne Pocket Drive ($30) mini pump which fits easily into the hole in the Domane downtube and is a quality pump for a pretty small price. I like being able to ride with no seat peak... I feel so "clean"

How are you liking your tubeless setup? I went tubeless from the start and am happy. I’m riding on GP 5K, 32s. Almost 900 miles over light gravel, fresh chip and seal and decent asphalt with no issues.

I'm guesstimating I have around 2,000 miles on my tubeless tires so far and my experience is similar to yours, with the addition of a little gravel trail riding and riding through a few closed roads there were pretty rough There certainly is a learning curve to going tubeless, but now that I've gone tubeless I just don't see going back to tubes. Fortunately, I haven't ridden over anything that has actually punctured my tire, so I'm perhaps living in a dreamland at this time. But as far as air leaks I've had no issues and the 700x32c tires are wonderful.

Tubes you say ?

Glad I saw this thread @PoorInRichfield.

Two days ago on a ride I got a flat, no big deal. Put the tube in, went to fill it up with co2 and the head blew apart, co2 escaped making it useless. No big deal I have a second co2, I will just wait until another cyclist comes and borrow their head. Didn't take long, heavily traveled route, put my canister in his head and poof all the air escapes. His head lost the gasket and he didn't know it. Lucky for me his wife, who doesn't believe in changing what works was carrying a pump which worked like a charm.

It may be time to start carrying a pump like you inside my Trek Domane.

PoorInRichfield

Yup... I ditched CO2 years ago from similar experiences where things just didn't go right and CO2 left me stranded. Not to mention that even if CO2 works as it should, I found that one's tires lose pressure pretty quickly, especially in hot weather. I still remember one ride where I used both CO2 cartridges and by the time I got home my tire was nearly flat again even though it no longer had a hole in it.

Mini pumps aren't the perfect solution, but they don't "run out" (unless your arm falls off from pumping!) I'm only running 65 psi road wheel set and less than 50 psi on my gravel wheel set, so that makes a mini pump even more attractive. It's a lot easier to reach those pressures with a small pump then it was "in the old days" when I was rollin' 100+ psi tires.

Or, it could be the punctures were sealed up quickly enough that you didn't flat, and didn't notice.

I carry the Specialized MTB Mini. Super short. They have a road version (just means high pressure) as well.

MTB Mini:
• 165mm length
• Presta and Schrader value support
• 170 strokes to 30psi
• 60 max PSI
• 101g weight
• $25

Air Tool Road Mini
• Presta only (use schrader adapter)
• 100 max PSI
• $25

So any other pumps besides the Lezyne pocket drive fit in the Domane downtube compartment?

I just recently purchased a new domane and my Topeak Racerocket HPX that I had on my previous bike does not fit in there.

i want to try the LEZYNE Pocket Drive HV Mini for fit & practical use, but I am not sure if that one would 100% fit.

Some questions I do have about it compared to the LEZYNE Pocket Drive HP are:
Is the effort going to be equal or harder with the HV versus the HP model.
If the effort is the same, yet not harder than the HP, would it be better to opt for the HV model even though the target PSI for the use is close to the max PSI cap of the pump? (inflation PSI is 85ish, pump capability is 90 PSI)

PoorInRichfield

I'm not going to lie, pumping up a tire to nearly 100 PSI with a mini pump is going to be difficult and take a long time regardless of the brand.

As the OP, the Lezyne pump works well for me with the size tires I run. The max pressure I need is 65 PSI for my road wheels and 45 PSI for my gravel wheels according to Silca's tire pressure calculator. Not only that, I'm running tubeless and fortunately I haven't had to fix a flat for the past two years. The frame pump is an emergency back-up that I hope to never use.

Does that fit with the roll?

PeteHski

I find my Silca Tattico mini-pump to be the best compromise. It's a bit bigger than your average mini-pump, but still just about small enough to go in a jersey pocket. But it might not fit in your Domane storage compartment. I have mine mounted with the bottle cage mount. What I like about the Tattico is that it pumps more like a full-sized frame pump and doesn't get much harder with increased pressure/heat.

Troul 

most pumps get much harder to pump after a certain higher PSI, often I found that to be 70 PSI. Length of a pump limits what can stow in the IFS compartment. A mini morph will not fit.

The rattle would drive me nuts. Hopefully, it doesn't happen.

I thought you were riding tubeless??? if you are riding tubeless, the chances of needing to pump up a tube is not worth the worry, which is why I have CO2 with an extra cartridge for an emergency, but have found over the last 18 months, I have had to help people that do not have a pump or co2 when they have a flat.

gpburdell

Yes, it fits in the lower section and the roll goes in the upper section on my Domane. I carry CO2 and a tube in the roll, with the pump as backup.

Haven't had any rattle with mine, though I did stow the pocket drive pump in a microfiber sunglasses pouch so there's a lanyard to grab it with. I've also heard of folks using a velcro/fabric chainstay protector to wrap the pump.
