When it comes to designing items like the Airstick Anyvalve Mini Pump, we're usually happy to yield to Blackburn's expertise. But. We do have one critique: instead of Airstick, we would've called the thing Airlog. It's light and small enough to warrant the ""stick"" categorization, but the amount of air it pushes is less like a stick and more like a flourishing oak trunk. That's because the Airstick features Blackburn's high volume design, which pushes more air per stroke and doubles up on that already increased volume by inflating your tire during the pull stroke, too. Despite that huge functionality, the Airstick lives up to its name at a reasonable claimed weight of 137g. That's not as low as the Airstick SL, and it isn't quite a toss-in-the-pocket-and-forget size pump, but it's a helluva lot more convenient than carting around a floor pump. The handle folds out into a T, and Blackburn's AnyValve pump head is compatible with Presta, Schrader, and Dunlop valves. Blackburn includes a cage mount to help clear pocket space and ensure you never leave the Airstick on your counter in a bout of pre-ride forgetfulness.
