Back to the pump talk. I use a Crank Bro's hand pump that has a dual head for both schrader & presta valves. It comes with a guage and has a great mounting system. It's a bit tricky to figure out at first, but once you watch the video on-line it's pretty easy to use.

PDW has also come out with a hand pump called the magic flute that is a pump and it has a CO2 valve which could be handy. Their products are made really well. The guys who started it used to be product developers for Planet Bike.

The Morph sounds like a good choice though. I may have to get one for my winter bike set-up.

You should check in your area and see if there are any women specific mechanic classes. It's kind of nice because they are usually all newbies and you learn tons of great info on how to properly maintain your bike. It's also nice to be with other women. I sometimes notice that some, not all, of the bike shops I go to have guys staffers who can be a bit..err condescending.

I would maybe search through different bike clubs and they could guide you in the right direction.

Enjoy your ride!
