Default Tire Pump Reccommendation

I'm leaving on a month long trip to Wyoming area. Does anyone know of a small tire pump (saddle bag size) that I can use for topping off the tires periodically. Usually check them often enough that they only need a pound or 2. Prefer a pump that would screw onto the valve stem. With my new rims the vaves are hard to get a lock on lever on.
Thanks

You could check out the HD pump used to adjust the air shocks. Small size. Not sure how much you'd have to pump to adjust the tire pressure.

I carry the Slime Kit with at all times along with 35 lbs of tools ( i weighed them) plus wire ties, mag lite, elect tape, spare spark plugs,yada, yada, yada. The Slime kit does use the flip lever but it is small, plus you could trim the lever down some to fit. You can go to Auto Zone, Advance Auto Parts, Wal Mart and check them out. Only $20.00 and it's cheap insurance while out on the road.

Go to Walmart and get one of the pumps that you plug in your lighter. Take off the plastic housing and trash it. The pump inside will fit in the palm of your hand.

Haven't seen the screw on type in years. But most any parts store etc, have a small pump that will fit the bag (got one last week at Harbor freight $10.00)
Some can's of fix a flat have a plastic screw on. adapt it over to the pump hose with a splice.
While you're out here look me up and we'll take a ride.
