SilcaGravelero Mini-Pump(Return to Product Page)

Love Silca products. Very top notch quality. This pump is no different. Got a great deal on the price and it goes into my pack for my long backcountry rides. Great pump and built to last!

Bought this to replace a smaller Lezyne mini pump (Pocket Drive Pro)

First, the build quality is far superior.

Second, the amount of pumps is FAR less. In testing, it took me about 50 pumps to get a 47mm gravel tire from ~20 psi to 32psi on the Gravelero. Lezyne was probably hundreds.

Third, attachment mechanism. The Lezyne required pulling out the tube fully, threading it on and there's no chuck to lock. I had issues with it staying connected, especially last time I had to put a tube in during the rain (I do run tubeless but gashed a tire). That was the impetus for me to buy the Gravelero - it's raining, I'm diassembling a pump, it's not locking onto the valve enough and I'm pumping hundreds of times. The Gravelero requires no disassembly (just pull out) and has a locking chuck.

Only downside I see is that it's bigger than some of the smaller pumps. However, I was BARELY able to fit it in a Apidura 1L Top Tube bag for a gravel event. The Gravelero had to go in first at the bottom. When not doing events, I just put it in a jersey pocket. It does come with an attachment for mounting to bottle cages...but I figure it's not aero enough.

All in all, really happy with the pump.

The locking mechanism is fantastic and prevents air loss when attaching or removing the head from the valve. I also like that there is a hose to keep pressure off of the valve stems while pumping air into the tires.

A sufficient volume of air per pump also keeps the amount of labor down to pump a tire from 0 to 50psi in a couple of minutes compared to some of my other hand pumps that take 5+ minutes to do the same job

The gravelero pump head is a fantastic design and has little to no air loss when removing it unlike many other pumps I've tried. The hose is also a nice touch since it doesn't strain the valve stems while inflating tires

Extremely fast to put into action. Simply pull out the hose, attach the head to the valve, flip the lever and start pumping. With competing brands, you have to pull the hose out and thread it in the body; an extra and time-consuming step. Some other brands have no hose, which I dislike since they put a lot of stress on the valve when you are pumping. Only downside is it is slightly heavier than the competition.

I really like the Silca Gravelero Mini-Pump.

The pump is very sleek and fits well in a back pocket.

The build quality is strong and features like the locking latch on for the valve is really nice.

Overall I had to use the pump on several flat tires out on a ride and it worked really good.

Easy to connect to valve stems. Enough volume and pressure for gravel and mt bike tires. Bottle cage mount is very secure.
