Did you ask them to? The head on my Joe Blow Pro pump broke last month. I called Topeak's support line (their online system doesn't work), told them the pump was broken, and asked them to send me the parts. I didn't have my receipt handy, so they asked me to pay for shipping ($3-4). If I'd had the receipt I suspect everything would have been free.

I had the mount get dammaged and they sent me one at no charge to me. Maybe they are now starting to charge for shipping, but my past experiences with them are excellent.

I love the Road Morph G... not guessing as to how much air is in the tire. My road bike and hybrid have presta valves. My floor pump doesn't support presta and I just hate using those silly screw on pieces. I have therefore used the Road Morph as my primary pump for nearly two years! Great pump. I've put it to a few uses. So far 4 flats in two years. With the cost of CO2 cartidges, that can rack up pretty quickly.

Happy riding,
André

i have never had problems with my 16g cartridges for mtb or road applications...i have seen a few people tear a valve off with a frame pump...and even when they work, they grin up at everyone waiting for them while they pump, sheepishly smiling while everyone waits, most people take me up on my offer to co2 it for them...

as others have mentioned better tires make this easier to handle, but i carry 2 tubes and 3 carts and it has always worked out for me, and i get complimented for short tube repair times.

I have had a frame pump, a Road Morph and now a Co2 inflator. I am very happy with the Co2. One 16g threaded cartridge will you get you to 120 psi and it will last for the your entire ride. Drain your tire when you get home and fill it back up with a floor pump.

for long rides and commuting I carry both. on my single speed that I use around town I often just carry Co2 .

back up is a good thing. Ive had 3 flats in a day when I carried ony Co2 (2 16gr) good thing I was only 2 mile from home on my last flat.

Ive also come across people on the MUP who had flats and no inflation device/fix it stuff of their Co2 failed. so im always ready.

as like many others I use a mini pump to get the tire to 40- 60LB +- and then top off with Co2, this practice may change , I just bought a Quicker pro pump (velo orange has them) and Im pleased to say that I can get my tire (28cm) up to 100psi + in a pretty short time without puliing any muscles. Co2 may only be a back up now, but ill still carry it just in case or im in a rush.
