General Cycling Discussion - What's a good handheld pump with a gauge

for Presta valves. I don't wanna get a floor pump cause it'd take up too much room.

Topeak road or mountain morph. But your place must be tiny or packed full of stuff if you can't have a floor pump.

Topeak Turbo Morph- the small analog dial gauge was the clincher for me! :D

Thanks, the Topeak looks good and not too expensive.

Will I have any issues inflating my tires to good road pressures with these? (100-120psi)

They say it goes to 120 psi, so it is at its limits. The good thing is that it is built like a mini floor pump. It has a hose and a small foot area, so you can use your whole body, not just your arms to pump up the bike.

Though the small size means a lot more pumps than a regular floor pump. I still recommend you get a floor pump, especially if you run your pressure at 120 psi. I think you will tire of using the road morph all the time. I like mine, but for emergency use, not as my daily pump.

Well I'll try and see if I can use it as my only pump. Just tryin' to keep my belongings as compact as possible, as a general policy :P

Honestly there isn't one. Mini pumps are for on the road flat fixes, not every day filling of tires. Save yourself much frustration and get a proper floor pump; they really aren't that large.

Get a proper floor pump for regular filling. +1 on that advice.

I'd get a proper floor pump. Or perhaps even a powered air compressor like this:

I used a road morph for over a year as my only pump. It puts air in the tires, and that's all you really need. Of course, it takes more effort than a real floor pump, but to some that's not a big deal. Personally, I had enough money to buy one pump, so I bought one that I could use for fixing flats on my ride as well as normal pumping.

Regardless of the above, I agree with everyone that you should just get a real floor pump, especially if your only reason for doing otherwise is space. You must have a closet, shelf, cabinet, or something that you can put it in while you're not using it.

Go with a floor pump, Blackburn Aero 2 is good.

I recommend a separate pump and gauge. Then, if one function breaks you don't have to replace the entire thing.

Or just get the part that broke fixed.

A floor pump takes too much room??? Say what? Do you live in a phone booth? ;)

Hey, it might be true. ;)

I put my floor pump between my bike and the wall.
