Love Silca products and this is no exception. Smooth operation and quite small. I have always liked to carry a real pump over CO2 cartridges. I have not needed to use the pump yet but the pump action feels smooth.

The instant you pick up this mini pump you will understand that it is a quality superbly made piece of equipment. I still have a Silva frame pump that is over 40 years old and works perfectly. It doesn't fit the frame of my current bikes but I use it around the house. The Tattico feels like it will last longer than me!! Though so far this season I've not had much need to use it, I am not a bit sorry I have it on the bike for that inevitable flat! The only reason I didn't give a 5 is that I haven't yet had to refi

You think it's little big , and a little heavy in your jersey until you need it, then it moves a BUNCH more air much faster than the other weeny pumps you had before an you are grateful to have it .

The reviews I had read proved true. This has been a great carry on the road. It provides as close to track pump ability as I have ever experienced. I wouldn't know how it handles going over 100 psi but so. It was lighter than I expected and comfortable in my jersey pocket when not using the frame holder

Purchased the Tattico after doing a lot of research. I've been very happy with it. Extremely well made - solid! I have now been able to reduce pressure my tires when going over very rough and patchy pavement and then pump the tires back up with this pump when I reach smoother pavement. No risk of unscrewing the valve core anymore!
Nice and secure mount too.

In the 60's silica was the pump to have. We used to attach it on the left seat stay. Amazingly I have just bought this one and it fits perfectly on my seat stem. Through the years Silca just kept improving which culminated in the Mimi pump. Until I bought my mini pump I used co 2 cartridges which worked well but sometimes even though I carried 2 they weren't enough, I can always rely on Silca.

Very well built pump. Very sturdy and it works. If you are a weight Winnie move along this thing is not light by any means but it works and fells very solid. It will be my travel pump when I travel to races away from home instead of taking a floor pump, had to trouble pumping my tires to 120 PSI. Pricey but worth it.

I've been riding with only a few CO2 cartridges and decided it was time to add a pump to my gravel rig. I purchased this when BTD put it on sale and have used it several times without issue. I mounted it to my Cervelo Aspero along the seat post frame tube and it tucked away nicely next to the water bottle cage. Do not hesitate to buy this Silca mini-pump!

I bought this pump a few months ago, first time I used it was today. I gotta say the pump is well worth the money. It works as expected and highly recommend this pump to any bike rider, can't go wrong.

When I had a flat and my friend pumped up the tire with this pump I was amazed at how easy and quick it was so I bought my own to replace an older one.

Does not have leather gasket like larger silca pumps.
200 strokes to inflate conti tube in 700cc x 25 4000GS tire to 110 psi, didn't take much extra strength for the last reps. But I am strong like small bear.
pump head on extendible little hose thing keeps pressure off the valve step which is much nicer than my last minipump.

I got tired of worrying about multiple flats on a commute so got this high quality pump to never worry about running out of cartridges. Installs discreetly next to a water bottle cage. Plenty of room for crankset.

Have only used in garage and not on road. Worked great pumping up my 32's.

The pump works great and has the feel of quality that will last.
Review by HerbP
Hadn't tried mini-pumps in years, and this is the top rated one. Very disappointed. Takes over 200 strokes to fully inflate a 700x30 road tire to 65 lbs; gets hard to pump towards the end. The chuck doesn't grasp the Presta stem hard enough, so it keeps working itself loose.
I wonder if this isn't now an obsolete technology: I bought a mini electric inflator for about the same price. It fits in my saddle bag. After 3 full inflations, the battery is still at 1/2 full. It weighs less than the pump (or CO2 cartridges w/spares) and is certainly a whole lot easier.
Review by Guidon
This pump is solid. No gimmicks, just a sturdy week-designed pump that works well. Pop off the cap, pull the hose out, and you are ready to inflate. Switching between presta and Schroeder is easy and straight-forward. The bracket holds the pump tight to the frame. My favorite.

I've used a number of hand pumps over the years and until I became more proficient with CO2 . I dreaded getting a flat and wearing my arm out pumping. This pump is of superb quality in form and function. I think I could inflate a car tire with it. I love having this pump on my bike 'just in case'.

This pump is WELL worth the money. It's really compact, easily fits in my handlebar bag, and strikes the balance between heavy enough to feel durable but light enough to not add unnecessary weight. It extends out a surprisingly long distance which helps make it a really efficient hand pump. Unlike most of the pumps I've owned before, the hose on this pump does not feel delicate and flimsy and the locking, interchangeable chuck is both efficient and convenient. This really is a thoughtfully designed and well made product.

I own 2 of these and they are indestructible. One on the mountain bike and one on the road bike. It is light and strong and capable of over 100 psi. CO2 is great but if you run out of cartridges you are stuck. This will work no matter what.
Review by George
This is hands down the best mini pump I've used. The construction is bomber, as you would expect from Silca, and it's super quick and easy to operate. The chuck makes it a breeze to pop on and off. Highly recommended.
