Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

i'm shaking in my boots. I just find it sad that some people lack basic reasoning skills. it's also pretty much the best frame pump available, but if you want to use an inferior pump because you're not the sharpest tool in the shed, go right ahead.

how is it the best when it has 4 stars on amazon reviews and virtually every lezyne has 5 stars ?

because the lezyne won't work for you because you don't like the way it mounts. meanwhile the topeak would've worked for you, but you were to dense to figure out how to install it.

also, the road morph has 4 stars out of 114 reviews. the lezyne has 5 stars out of 6 reviews. I assure you the road morph has more than 6, 5 star reviews. aren't engineers supposed to be good at analyzing data?

i read the negative reviews for the morph - they were speaking about all the problems that i have myself encountered. one actually wrote that his pump came without a mount ! almost makes you wonder if he got the pump i returned to the store

so i know the morph reviews are legit.

i didn't have time to read lezyne reviews yet.

well i don't have any such box. what should i do ?

is the thread standard for all bikes ? should i ask a LBS for smaller head screws ? should i bring my bike withme when i go for the screws ?

even though i hate road morph g you know how the saying goes - better the devil you know.

although the one other thing i don't like about morph g is the "bayonet" locking system. it seems like if i hit a pothole or such the hose might fall out and get caught somewhere like in a wheel or drivetrain. no ?

i just finished reading the 1 star reviews, a few said they were missing parts. the rest were complaining about not being able to figure out how to use it. it's a very simple to use pump. 1 star reviews should be reserved for products that clearly don't work, not having the misfortune to be one of the few to be missing a part, which could even be caused because it was a returned product. Not topeaks fault. The others were complaining about it being to complicated. attach head, lift lever, pump. idiot proof. well, almost.

seriously? how do you function in life.


just in case you're being serious, you either go to a hardware store, lbs or check the box of bolts any real man should have around the house.

The LBS probably has a box of spare parts.

you really are slow. the mount has a velcro strap, common sense tells you to wrap the velcro OVER the hose. are you allowed to leave your house by yourself or does someone have to hold your hand?

but if lezyne has the hose go all the way into the metal body of the pump i still think that's a better design.

You are looking at it wrong! Troll the troll and get him to spend money (the Lezynes are not exactly cheap).

Ok guys i will stop by a store today that carries Lezyne and look at them to try and see if they're better quality than Topeak. The store that carries Topeak is on the same block.

i am not a troll. it's all in your heads. if i really was a troll - would i call myself a troll so that everybody would know it ?

you guys are all sick - you have an imbalance of neurotransmitters - if you didn't you wouldn't be able to ride bikes - you'd just be sitting at home on the couch and watching TV like normal people. please when you accuse me of trolling keep in mind that you are all insane.
