A 16 g (0.6 oz) cartridge is one inflation, and threaded and bare types differ · review
A 16.4 cm (6.5 in) mini pump with a reversible head covering all three valve types and a removable aluminum tube that forms a T-handle for pumping.
Our conclusion The one to carry. Short, well made, and the T-handle makes it genuinely usable rather than merely present.
SKS is a German maker with a long presence in cycling accessories, and the SUPERSHORT is its most compact pump.
A length of only 16.4 cm (6.5 in), described as very light, compact and high quality. A removable aluminum tube giving an ergonomic T-handle for effective pumping. A reversible valve head covering AV, SV and DV. Manufacture in Germany.
A straight mini pump is held in one hand and pushed with the other, and most of the effort goes into keeping it aligned. A T-handle lets you pull with both hands against the valve, which converts far more of your effort into air. On a pump this small, that is the difference between reaching riding pressure and giving up.
Pump volume. A 16.4 cm (6.5 in) barrel moves very little air per stroke, so a road tire needs several hundred strokes. That is true of every pump this size and it is the price of it fitting in a pocket.
There is no gauge here, as on every mini pump in this hub. You inflate by feel at the roadside and check properly at home, which for most riders is exactly right — a mini pump is a way home rather than a way to full pressure.

The aluminum tube detaches and mounts crosswise, giving a T-shaped grip. SKS states this allows effective pumping with a better transfer of force than a straight in-line barrel.
SKS states a reversible valve head covering AV (Schrader), SV (Presta) and DV (Dunlop).
