Any decent full size frame pump will get you 100+ psi. Stop with the mini pumps and super skinny tires. The skinnies are for racers and racers have support cars and don't pump their own tires.
I guess I must be a racer with 25s on my road bike and 28s on my commuter, even 28s on the touring bike at the moment (gonna be my backup bike for RAIN if the weather looks iffy)...but wait, I pump my own tires, with a Road Morph!
Now I am confused...am I a racer, the Mother of all Freds, or just a guy who chooses equipment based on his own needs and experience?
