Blackburn Airstik. It's small and a bit sh*tty. I find it hard to get adequate pressure with it though it's supposed to go to 120 psi.

x34232425 on the mini morph. Love not having to fight with it against the wheel.

theres no co2 inflator with a gauge right, not that it would be all that hard to just keep a tire gauge with it, just thought id ask.

The problem is that it's a *****ty pump. Don't get me wrong, I love my eggbeaters, and have heard raves about their customer service. That pump, however, as clearly evinced by others on this forum, is terrible.

yea, we had someone bust out a crank brothers on a group ride. Totally let us down. The dual head leaked like crazy, and you still had to fight with it on the wheel.
Some girl busted out her road morph, pumped dude's wheel to 120 psi, in effect melting my heart.

Oh, so you want a topeak road morph?

Basically its the best mini pump in existance.. no argument.

Do you use Presta valves? If so, I find that a pump with a hose works the best. I use a Topeak Morph Mountain Masturbater... uh... Masterblaster. It was the best one I could find at my LBS, and replaced a Specialized air-tool Dual. I like the option of being able to pump both Presta and Schrader valves, and the hose helps prevent breaking off one's Presta valve stems. The foot-thingy is nice, too.

I've got one of those CO2 inflator things in my seat bag. Plus, I buy the CO2 cartridges in bulk from the sports/hunting section at Walmart.

I meant I can't understand because mine has served me very well. I guess I just got lucky and got the one good one in a pile of crap?

That or you've got forearms of steel. Either way, if it ain't broke...

Definitely a lot cheaper than what they sell them for at a bikeshop. I find though that a tube filled up with my CO2 pump loses air faster than one done with a hand pump.

The carbon dioxide molecules are less viscous than nitrogen or oxygen; that's why the tube goes flat faster.

I've got these on all three bikes. Gets to 120psi with no troubles. I once pumped my wife's BMW tire with a bicycle pump; 35 pumps = one pound of air; 25 pounds to fill up the tire. Great exercise for the forearms.

Yeah I have a blackburn in my bag, don't like it at all so i'd stay away from that.
