Pump Recommendations
Pump Recommendations
My much loved, and much used pump has finally given up
I've been supergluing and sticking it back together all summer and it's time to say good bye
It was an amazon special and sadly no longer available
Any recommendations?
I like to carry it on the bike so it doesn't have to fit in my jersey pocket. I like them with a hose
I'm thinking of the Lezyne Road Drive L

Re: Pump Recommendations
Got the Lezyne - excellent!
Convention? what's that then?

Re: Pump Recommendations
I've had a Topeak Road Morph for years and it's bullet proof. You can get 120 psi no problem. I believe the Mountain Morph is the same thing with a bigger piston so if you have large volume, lower pressure tyres it may be a better bet, the Road Morph takes a lot of strokes to pump up my wife's 1 1/2" tyres.

Re: Pump Recommendations
Thanks both, I have something similar to the road morph for touring which I carry in my panniers, so the lezyne seems a good compliment for day rides

I've got the Turbo Morph which also has an MTB piston, I chose it because I preferred the round gauge to the in-line one, and because CJ gave it a favourable review. I hoped that having the pump braced against the floor and 35mm tyres would compensate for the extra force required. It doesn't, and I don't like it. I looked at the Lezyne, but I was put off by the non-standard hose that costs megabucks to replace.

Re: Pump Recommendations
I have this http://www.lezyne.com/product-hpumps-hv ... rh5dH8biK0
Superb bit of kit, they do a high pressure or a high volume version, I have the HV version and it's a genuinely useful pump and makes short work of 2" tyres,I previously had a topeake micro somethings or other and replaced it after my first puncture.

Re: Pump Recommendations
I too would recommend Lezyne.
Well made & very effective for compact size.

Re: Pump Recommendations
I have the Lezyne one too, the HP version. It does an excellent job. Easy peasy to get to 100 psi on my 28c tyres. My main grumps with it are that its a tad too long to fit easily into my Carradice Racktop bag, and the hose can easily unscrew removable valves if you haven't ensured that the valve is tightened up first.
Re: Pump Recommendations
Lezyne for me as well, much better than the Topeak one. Get can really good pressures.

Re: Pump Recommendations
+1 for being in the Lezyne club. My gauge malfunctioned and I was sent a no quibble replacement. No probs since...b
Re: Pump Recommendations
Looks like the Lezyne wins. I've seen complaints that the Topeak foot bracket is flimsy, it's not actually but I have had the bolt that holds it on fall out and the bracket detach. I ended up putting Locktite Red on it and it hasn't come loose since. I've also had the Topeak quit pumping altogether; the piston ring came adrift - easy to fix but it shouldn't happen. And it doesn't come with a bracket that fits under a bottle cage so you lose a cage (I believe the Lezyne has that issue)

Fine in good weather, but keep your expensive kit in your panniers. The weather is a killer of seals etc. It's so small it goes in my tool bag. I'm not a fan of clutter. That's what my beard is for...b

I've made a bracket to put the bottle and the pump on the same pair of braze-ons.

Re: Pump Recommendations
It would be nice if they offered at least an optional bracket that fits under a cage, I found one in a used bike place.axel_knutt wrote:Pete Jack wrote:And it doesn't come with a bracket that fits under a bottle cage so you lose a cage

Re: Pump Recommendations
anyone found a way of keeping the pump protected on the bike? Cling Film maybe?
