so 2 weeks ago i had a flat and i bought topeak morph road g or something pump - it worked, i fixed the flat.

today i was trying to install the pump on my bike but the holes in the mount that came with the pump were too narrow for the screws on my frame. long story short i returned it to the store.

i need a new pump. frankly that topeak thing irritated the living **** out of me. this idiotic pump has an identity crisis - it must be thinking it's an iPhone or something. it tries to be so clever about everything it just makes me want to take an axe to it. i will never buy anything made by topeak again.

please - i want a simple, no nonsense, high quality pump for my 100 psi tires that easily and reliably mounts to the frame.

suggestions ?

I think topeak makes an app for the iphone.

There are a dozen threads on here, some recent about this.

I think you should take up a different hobby.

Unfortunately the Road Morph G is the gold standard for frame pumps. You don't have to mount it to the water bottle bracket; you can also bind the mechanism for holding it to your top tube, which is what I do. It freely allows cables to operate, and the mount does not damage clearcoat or paint. The pump takes less work to fill a tire to a proper road bike pressure, it is easier to ensure that you don't rip the stem out of the tube as you pump, and it has flaps to allow you to hold it down with your feet like it was a floor pump, and a handle to give you more leverage, and it has a gauge so you can that you have filled it to the correct pressure. I fail to see how this is somehow bad. The Road Morph G answers all the important problems. Sure if you want a micro pump for weight reasons, there are zillions of those out there, but I'd rather not have to jack off the pump a thousand times to fill the tire just to save a few grams.

not any more. Lezyne micro floor drive HPG ftw

The older version of the Specialized Air Tool Road is as simple and elegant as a road pump gets and will easily get you to 100psi:



You could probably still pick one up, although why you ditched the Topeak is beyond me.

As others have said, the Topeak Road Morph is probably the best pump you could take with you on a ride. I hear good things about Lezyne pumps but have no experience with one. But, I do have experience going from a Road Morph to a Blackburn carbon frame pump. Big mistake, getting to 100PSI with the Road Morph was much easier.

I gave up on frame pumps and now use CO2.

Can't even figure out how to mount a pump to a frame with two bolts? :facepalm:

If your bottle cage bolts are too big for the holes, you need to enlarge the holes with a power tool called a drill. Men have these.

If the bolt hole spacing is off, then clearly you're doing it wrong. Plastic injection moulds don't change in shape or size.

Velcro strips. Also, next time try being smarter than the 18 cent plastic piece. Thanks.

I used zip ties, works great.

I use a pocket rocket screwed to the bottle cage mounts, works a treat, i think top peak make em

you're an idiot

If you have a small to medium size frame, you can get a full size frame pump and fit it under the top tube. I use a Park adjustable pump (fits different frame sizes). and a Blackburn full size pump.

lezyne, end of story

ok you got me i lied. i tried to do that and broke the mount in the process. i can show you pics if u don't believe me.

its friggin hard to drill it out - have you tried doing that ?

They make this wonderful tool especially for making holes larger.

thats what she said

Listen carefully:

Lezyne Micro Floor Drive HP... Same idea as the RoadMorph, (I own two of those) only better in every possible way except price.

wouldn't work if you saw the shape of that mount. that design quality of that mount belongs on a 99 cent product.

really, it pissed you off that much? god i hope you dont own a PC, they are horrible

i suggest checking air before you leave and taking along some CO2

i had no problem with the pump. i pumped up the tire fine. the problem was with the mount. show me a pic of lezyne mounted on the frame.

is lezyne quality overall better though ?

i own a PC, but i don't use it. im on a Mac right now.

can't take CO2. too paranoid. i am afraid it's going to explode and maim me.

I sincerely suggest finding a new hobby.

Yes - and the mounting bracket is well thought-out, too. The Topeak is mostly plastic; the Lezyne is all metal.

pics or stfu !
