Pump recommendations
I have a great pump at home, but I need one to take on the road. I'd prefer a pump to CO2. Not having bought one in a while, I figured I'd ask you guys and gals for recommendations or suggestions. Hope to buy one (or order one) this weekend.
Thanks! <---how I feel about you guys!

I have the Topeak road morph and love it. It's small but works great!

Another Topeak Road Morph user. Is it perfection? No. Each of my two have their own little issues. But is it plenty good enough. Yes.

I ride with a group that has the pump and many flats.
Never seen anyone have a problem with the pump in 4.5 years.
I now have one on each bike and have not needed to use them Y E T.

Okay, I ordered it. I think is a Personal Best in terms of making a bike-related decision in a timely manner. Thanks all!
Edit: Not quite sure how Wednesday, March 7th is "two business day delivery" from my amazon Prime, but whatever...

A Mountain Morph lives on our tandem - the rest of my riding I am accompanied by a Mini Morph.

Topeak Mini Dual G with guage. Not the smallest but then it's light and packs a whallup on high psi's. My Krylion Carbons need 100psi or more and this is the pump I use to obtain it. The guage is handy, too.
Here is a pre-apologized pic from my Iphone:

Another vote for the Road Morph. I've got 2 of them, and used to sell a ton of them in my store.
No problem at all pumping up to 110 psi and beyond.

And why worry about needing a Pump?- With the bike butler following in the Team car you should not need one.

Too give an option besides the Morph pumps, I use a Lezyne. https://www.amazon.com/Lezyne-Pressur...0782266&sr=8-1
I have two. A medium size one that is on my bottle cage on my hybrid bike. I also have a small one in the saddlebag of my road bike. The nice thing about these pumps is that they have a flexible hose inside that makes pumping far less awkward than many pumps. The hose has a gauge built in as well. I am a major wimp and I have no trouble pumping up to 70 pounds and could go higher but then it starts getting hard for me to pump. It pumps the road bike tires pretty fast, the big 1.7s on my hybrid take awhile.

My pumps:
home: Park PFP-3
on bike: Blackburn frame pump. It works great, but I have not had to use it on my own tires since switching
to Conti gatorskins. I do have to stop and help a pump-less fellow cyclist on occasion.

I ordered a Topeak Road Morph a couple days ago before this thread. Glad to see the props for it.

I first ordered The Mini by mistake.
Here is the difference.

I resolved the Morph or Lezyne question by using Topeaks and admiring the Lezynes. The portables are nice and the floor pumps objets d'art.

I have the Lezyne floor pump too. Pretty and functional. I favored the Lezyne pumps for the bike because of the small size and yet good pumping ability. I have a 43cm frame on my road bike, there was no place to put a pump except in a saddlebag or on the bottle cage. Either way, I needed a small pump.

Mine mounted on the bike(s)
I do ride small frames-50/51. The Pinarello is a conventional top tube that is nearly level and has the Road Morph fitted. It only just fits.
The mini Morph is the one I had to buy for Boreas as The road morph is too long- It is also too long for the TCR. Both these frame have sloping top tubes so watch the pump you buy if you have small frames. And the Mini Morph works well- just takes a bit longer to get to pressure but on one ride I checked pressure after a puncture and I had got to 120psi with ease
