pumps?
 
what kind of pumps do you keep in your bags? I got a flat on the way to work this morning and all I had was a trek mini-pump. Piece of crap. Any recommendations as to what I should start packing?
thanks

Length of tube, foot stand, etc...

Gets up to 120 fairly easy.

i rock a co2 jam when i'm commuting and just out and about.

dutret 09-22-06 11:36 AM

the road morph is big though. The smaller topeaks or a co2/hand pump.

hyperRevue 09-22-06 11:37 AM

Just about 13 inches long.

shants 09-22-06 11:44 AM

there's the mini road morph, which is a bit shorter.

its not big, it fits in any standard size bag, messenger or otherwise. it also mounts to your frame if you like that.

I have a Peakini Master Blaster and it works fine...I still need to use a floor pump eventually, but it's enough to get me back on the road and it fits well in my bag or even in my jersey pocket.

Yinzer 09-22-06 12:13 PM

the road morph! it is kinda klunky... but isnt that one of the reasons we all carry those huge ass bags?

marqueemoon 09-22-06 12:24 PM

I have a craptastic Blackburn in the bag and a Silca Pista floor pump at home.

curlybro 09-22-06 12:30 PM

+9 on the road morph. That thing could replace a floor pump if you don't ride tubulars or really high pressure clinchers.

I carry a old hurricaine pump at the bottom of my bag and a co2 inflator I found I forget to replenish my co2 supply hence the pump

get co2 inflator and extra cartridges they work very well and fast

i carry the road morph with the built in gauge.

SingleSpeeDemon 09-22-06 12:46 PM

I catch alot of sh*t for having these in my bag, but they just don't work with clips and straps.

I also love the topeka road morph. Flexible hose, built-in gauge, foot pedal, and can get to about 110 psi before it starts to suck.

dylandom 09-22-06 01:45 PM

i have a blackburn mini pump, it's like 12 inches. it's a pain to keep pumping after a min though but what ever, i rather have that then walk home.

Flatted this morning on the Queensboro Bridge. Patch kit, but no pump. Woops!

Stopped at Bike Heaven and bought a new tube (might as well while I am there) and the Road Morph. Great pump! (though I have only used it once)

progre-ss 09-22-06 03:45 PM

I've got me a Blackburn something or other as well as a CO2 one as well. I buy my cartridges from Walmart as they've got them in bulk for all those air guns they sell. 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.

I carry a cheapie Serfas BS50 and have a Soma Dragonbreath floor pump at home.

Getting up around 100-120 with BS50 is a struggle sometimes, but it can always get me plenty of pressure to make it to a bike shop or back home. Most importantly, it was only $10 on sale.
