Cool. I cant find a price.

Topeak makes excellent bike stuff so if you like it, get it.

I agree, I have a lot of their stuff, the most recent is the rack and panniers. I really like the quality.

Around $140

I could see it being useful when I do sag/repair support for our club's century ride so I'd just have one thing to get out of the trunk. But I don't see it being better than a separate stand and pump when fixing my bike at home.

$140 seems a little steep to me. I already have a stand and floor pump so maybe I'm not the right guy?

What does your Wife think of the size allowance of your Bike Budget?

Not too much...

That is where you have to negotiate purchases and their relative Value.


That Floor Pump Looks like a Lot of bells and whistles to Me. KISS.

That one comes with it's own little mini bike stand. Not sure how useful that would be. I have a Joeblow Turbo (I think). I'm pretty sure it was in the $50 - 60 range. Nice simple pump with a gauge. Years of service so far.

MSRP must be $140 because that is what most sellers are asking. Just one on eBay to undercut that at $105 postpaid Topeak Transformer XX Bicycle Pump and Bike Stand | eBay
Seems pretty expensive compared to the two decade+ $30 Nashbar floor pump that I have or the $5 Zefal Maxi floor pump that I picked up at a garage sale recently. Is the stand a gimmick? Can't tell from the photo on eBay. I have no problem leaning bikes against something as I pump the tires.

You know how you can tell it didn't find a market? The Transformer XX came out in 2014, and pretty much no one has heard of it. There are quite a few portable workstands ~$50, and a good pump can be had for even less than that. But if you do happen to be a person that owns neither a pump nor a stand, it might be worth a try.

I got a bike stand for like $90 from Amazon and regular Schwinn floor pump with a digital meter from Wal-mart for like $30. When any floor pump costs more than a decent bike stand and a decent pump, that seems like a lot of money.
