interested as well, looks nice. I doubt its as good as a frame pump but wonder how much better it is than other mini pumps, they claim it pushes much more air I think. Looks great and I am sure, just like other silca products, its very well made.


I like the hose that comes out, wonder why no one is making full frame pumps with a hose, I would be all over one.

Just got one yesterday, haven't had time to do anything but give it a good look. Appears to be solid as well as beautifully made. I'll give it a trial run tomorrow and report back.

is there any chance this could fit in a jersey pocket or does it just stick out way too much?

Agreed, probably toooo long.
At this very moment...How about that AFC #1 seed! so what if doesn't last. at this point 11 games in no one predicted this.

Hahahaha...yea, john facenda could read a cereal box and make people go crazy. the pregame used to be a montage to autumn wind now its a montage to an excerpt from won't get fooled again punctuated by the daltry scream then hells bells and the players run out and the starter intros... AC/DC has been the perfect match for them for soooo long it's weird to me to hear it in other stadiums. Plus now it really is DC/AC (#4/#89)...BTW, plenty of shaved heads with the shield tat'd right on top.

interested to hear the reports of actually using it. they tout the accolades of it far less than they do the pocket impero. for example, specifically stating the pressure at 200 pumps as per BikeRadar protocol, telling you it's made with their leather plunger, that it overcomes the failing of most minipumps which lose efficiency when hot, etc. they don't talk about that with the tattico, they just say "it's nice, it has a hose" basically. I kinda feel like it's their "cheap" pump to take some of the lezyne/topeak market share, since they both basically make the same thing. that said, if it works as well as pumps from those two companies, it'll be just fine.

my issue with the silca frame/mini pumps is that while they're well made and efficient, they focus more on moving air quickly than on not being difficult to use at high pressures. an impero ultimate is unbearable over 90 psi for a skinny armed cyclist. a lezyne road drive or a topeak master blaster at those pressures? MUCH easier.

I use a basic blackburn airstik SL just to stage the tube then finish the inflation with C02. if my two cartridges go out then I will pump using the Blackburn or call home. I dont flat much so the idea of either silca is more in want than need.

now, can we get back to talking about khahil mack....TD, INT, sack, FF, FR in one game first time since 2009 (woodson)

then why not just use a frame pump? cheaper, no need to buy CO2, less trash and probably same weight when you carry a pump and CO2.

I have one of those mini pumps (had a blackburn, garbage), I think its the topeak. It is terrible, pump for ages and not enough air, after a 50+ mile ride last thing you want is to pump that thing 100 times. On a frame pump, couple minutes and you are up to pressure, not enough to get you home but enough to let you keep ridding.

Maybe that's because, according to Silca's web page, the Tattico didn't start shipping until November 20th (just over a week ago)? Perhaps no one has had time to review it yet.
