The morph is indeed an awesome pump, it came in the mail a few days ago and I took it on a 30-mile ride on trails and paths this weekend. It did great job inflating the tires with minimal effort, and I love the gauge. One small criticism...

I was on the train to Philly, and thought topping my tires off would be a good use of thee time. (A little bit of the time, anyway. I was bored and tired.) Now, this is partially my own stupidity, but I managed to snap off the footrest by unfolding it the wrong way. Now, that's my fault, but looking at it closely, the rest is pretty cheaply made.

The pump itself works fine, but you have to hold it in place firmly while pumping, defeating the whole purpose of the design. If you're not a clumsy dude like myself, it's great pump. Amazing, in fact. But stay away from this if you're a klutz!
