The floor pump is…a Wal $10 barrel pump done by hand. And an early ‘50’s pump from the dumpster.
Need a Frame pump for the planned lower CDL expedition.
Maybe NRS ?
I’m still kicking myself for not buying clipon heads from Loosescrews.
Topeak is the bullet proof road pump ? A Topeak will last longer than 2 months…
Long life isn’t the problem. A gradual descent into malfunction is.
The head is the important part. I vaguely remember the road Morp’s head popping off or leaking. Maybe my error… Topeak sez….
Racks are next.
First racks are from deep discount at Nashbar. Universal Cycles has rack photos. I get the idea AL racks are designed adding struts when one section cracks out.
Does NRS sell racks ?
I bought a Topeak Mountain Morph in 2000 and it's still going strong. I have 7 bikes with 7 different Topeak Morphs (road and mountain). My wife has 2 bikes with 2 different Topeak pumps. My daughter has 4 bikes with 4 Topeak pumps. In total, I have a baker's dozen (13) of Topeak Morph pumps over the same number of years and I haven't had a single issue with a single one of them, ever. I've had to take a few apart because they had grit in the barrel but they still function quite well. I have a road bike and a touring bike that I don't use in the winter but all of my other bikes are used all year long. The touring bike is used in much worse conditions then the road bike.
I've had lots of frame pumps in the past. Some of them were good and more than a few weren't. The Topeaks are, in my opinion, better than anything I've ever tried.
