Good frame pump?

[roguedog]

Hey,

Do you all have a suggestion for a good frame pump? I had one years ago and it seemed for all the effort I put in I barely got any air outta the thing. Hopefully they've progressed since then.

Also, it used to be like they one had ones that fit guy size frames. Are there ones now that will fit on smaller frames?

Tks

Hey roguedog,

The Topeak Road Morph comes highly recommended by the TE folks. It has an inline guage, and you can use your foot to get leverage while pumping, so it makes it easier to get your tires up to pressure.

I bought a Road Morph, and put it on my 47cm Trek. Unfortunately, the pump is barely too long to fit on my seat tube, so I had to mount it to my down tube. I'll bet if I wanted, I could mount it to the top tube.

REI has them in stock.

I have to second the rec for the topeak road morph. They're changing the model slightly for next year to make a one with a guage and one without - however, some places have erroneously said it isn't being made anymore (ahem Performance bike - long story - still waiting on a refund). I've successfully pumped tires up to 120 psi with it, and the new models are rated to 160 (who needs that?!).

Topeak road morph. Got a flat this past Sunday - changed the tire and pumped it up to 120 easily, and was on my way in minutes - can't beat it!

Topeak Road Morph. Simple to use, works like a miniature floor pump, small, easy to figure out even if you haven't used it in months, has its own gauge.

I just got a Road Morph. It's too long for my seat tube and I don't want to give up the bottle mount position on the down tube. I hate how it would look strapped to the top tube.

My Specialized Sequoia has another set of mount holes on the front of the down tube down near the bottom bracket. It would fit here lengthwise but be held in place only near the bottom. Does this sound OK? It clears the front wheel OK but I'm still wondering if there are any issues mounting it here that I'm not aware of.

Thanks, Nicole
