Tire pump recommendation
 

I am looking to add a tire pump to my on board kit. I would like to get a small, effective hand pump that could mount to one of the bottle cage points on my frame. There are a bewildering number of choices, so input from everyone would be welcomed. I don't mind spending a little more for a good unit.

I like my Topeak Road Morph - it has a stand and a hose so you don't wreck the valve stem. It mounts to the water bottle bosses. For sale everywhere :thumb:

+1.

I picked up a Topeak Mini Morph this year, scaled down version of the Road Morph, and has a short hose. With a hose this length I do have to be careful where I place the pump if my bike is not upright so I don't bend the valve stem. It's the only pump I have and has only been used on 3 tire replacements. Seems to work well on both threaded and non-threaded Presta's, but the jury is still out.

Best decision? Picked it up from REI so if it fails in any manner I think is unreasonable, I get to return it. REI is great for that, trouble is I rarely exercise the option.

This....I have them in all my bikes. The Colnago, Bianchi and Cannodale get the carbon fiber version. The Bottecchia gets the aluminum version. They are all great frame pumps.

I've had good luck with the Topeak Road Morph G as well.

I have two Topeak Road Morph with gauges. While they are decent pumps and I continue to carry one, I will not buy Topeak again.

Once you enter the re-build phase of ownership your pretty much outta luck. Communication with the single US parts supplier was extremely difficult. I took it to a well stocked auto parts store to find o-rings the same size. I also have lezyne...these are quality units, that is what I would buy now.

I am in love with my lezyne floor pump and would trade two road morph Gs for one of these:

I have a Serfas BS1. It's ok in an emergency - barely. I do not recommend it. The Sefas description says you can pump up to 110 PSI wiith it. I can't get it above 45 PSI, and that is a major effort.

Lezyne here....good quality and works well.

Road bike or Mountain bike? Makes a difference -- if you have a road bike, you'll want to make sure to get a pump that can reach 100psi or better. Mountain bike specific pumps will usually move more air, but can't reach higher pressures.

+1 I have Lezyne Pressure Drive on both of my bikes. The shorter one is better for my smaller frame. Read the package carefully and make sure you purchase one that goes to 120 psi. Lezyne makes lower pressure pumps for MTBs.

Thanks for all the great replies! I have a hybrid, btw.

Have you considered CO2 inflators?

I have one in the trunk bag of my touring bike.
Seldom use it, but when I do, it is sooo nice!:thumb:

I have the Topeak Road Morph and the Lezyne Pressure Drive. Both are amazing, and the Lezyne fits in the seatbag (but comes with a water bottle mount). I got the Lezyne because I didn't want to have a frame mount as another thing to take off my bike when i lock it up.
