I need a small pump

So last Sunday I flatted and swapped out the tube and valve extension popped apart and my C02 was gone. Had to call home for a ride back. So starting this week I now carry 2 cartridges and my stems are long enough to do away with the extensions.

Yesterday I hit a large piece of gravel and 2 pinch flats. I swapped out 1 tube and patched the 2nd unsuccessfully. Mainly because I wasn’t able to put air in to find the leaks. Had to call home again for a ride. 3 times I’ve had to have my wife bail me out this year.

BTW I have new GP5000 tires coming today. The current tires are continental attack and force with 2000 miles.

This has made me want to get away from the C02 and go back to a mini pump. I’m looking for one to fit into my saddle bag. So 6” long.

Any suggestions?
