A good bike pump

[steveindenmark]

Can someone suggest a good, small bike pump please. Not CO2 cannisters.

Topeak 'Road Morph'

Lezyne Road Drive. It's got a flexible hose that lessens the chance of fubaring the valve stem when you are pumping in a hurry.

Topeak 'Road Morph'

Another vote for the Road Morph. Of course "small" is a bit of a movable feast, as is "good". The Road Morph does over 100psi without too much trouble.

+ 1 for the Road Morph - you have your answer Steve.

You can also buy bits/innards for it.

Avoid imitations.

I really like my Topeak pocket rocket. Have owned it since 2011 and it has never let me down. Supposed to be good for 160psi so has no trouble getting my road tyres to 100psi+. Used it to inflate a 2.2 MTB tyre a couple of weeks ago and while it wasn't quick it didn't take forever. Is tiny and currently available from Wiggle for only £8.54!

+1 from the Topeak Pocket Rocket. Works a treat

I like the 'Morph' type of pump. I tried to buy a Road Morph at Halfords once but they were out of stock so I bought their own brand version which was the same price and works well.

The Topeak Mini Morph is a smaller version of the Road Morph but it looks like it should work just as well.

Road Morph G for me. Cracking bit of kit, and additional mounting brackets can be had for a few quid so easy to move around the bikes.

+1 on the road morph. HOWEVER the mounting supplied is not a side-mount bracket so you can't share the braze-ons with a bottle cage. But the side-mounting bracket for the Peak DX does the job see this thread http://forum.cyclinguk.org/viewtopic.php?t=102091

The g version with guage. Bargain.
Edinburgh bike co-op do a lookalike which can often be had for a fair bit less but the gauge is a total pig to read and the pump cannot be replaced. If it goes wonky, even for the lack of a fingertip of grease on an o ring, you just have to dump it.

I agree with the consensus. Don't forget that the smaller the pump, the more strokes are required to get up to a particular pressure - which is why track pumps are so long. 100psi is eminently possible with a Road Morph, but it does require some hard work.

Road Morph it is then.

I was looking at Top peak on Amazon and Wiggle and was flummoxed by the massive range of bike pumps that they make.

I attach my roadmorph to the underside of my top tube. It came with a plastic fixing bracket and some Velcro straps. It's a bit too long to go in the back pocket of a jersey in my opinion. Some may find popping it on the top tube a bit unsightly but it seems ok to me
