What do you carry and how do you carry it?

[tjodit]

I'm with Nanci on this one. The Roadmorph is an amazing pump, very easy to use and very easy to pump tires up to the desired pressure (which I was never able to do with a standard frame pump or a mini-pump). The CO2 cartridges may be easier to use, but the disposal of the cartridges has always bothered me too.

How do you carry the pump? I'd like to know how to mount it on the bike. Does it come with some kind of mount? I have a mini pump but was told by a fellow rider that it would never inflate my road bike tire to the desired pressure. So now I carry a CO2 pump. Every time I've flatted someone else has had a frame pump so I've never had to use my mini pump or my CO2 pump.

i don't have any available online to post with it on my ruby yet but have it on my dolce,,,

this is with the propel bottle sticking out (i can actually carry 2 propel bottles, if it want but they are standing up if i do that... i get rid of one then it can lay over like here:



here's a view from the front (and all zipped up:



it has a clip that attached to the handlebar.... and stays there unless you want to unscrew it and take it off... i just leave it cuz i always use my bag! it's also a fanny pack if you want... you unclip the front.. add the belt thingy they give you and if you are walking away from the bike... wear it as a fanny pack.. i've never done that.. it also comes with a BRIGHT yellow rain cover!

the clip has a HRM mount.. i loved it for the polar.. cuz instead of unstrapping the polar.. you just slid off the mount... the garmin has a quick release.. so i just click that off and leave the HRM mount there (i can get pics of that if you or anyone wants to see that!)

here's a link to topeak's site.. shows the bag.. inside and the clip! (i got mine at bike nashbar... on sale for 19.99!)

Roadmorph comes with a mount that you attach to the frame wherever you want- whever it doesn't interfere with waterbottles, etc. I put mine on the top tube. The downside of this is I have to remove the pump to put it in my bike rack for transport, but this is very easy, it just clicks in and out. It's small enough to carry in a Camelback, too.

Roadmorph easily inflates to the 90psi range. You can go higher with a little effort. It has a built-in gauge. Right now I am running my tires at 95psi after reading the tire pressure article, which there is a link to in the equipment section, I think.

Nanci already mentioned the mount that comes with the pump. I have mine on the most sensible tube based on which bike I am riding. And I do have a pump on each bike (because I would rather not have to remember what tools I need to grab before heading out)... I did talk to someone whose LBS contacted Topeak to get extra mounts so they could move the pump from bike to bike.

I have easily pumped tires to over 100 psi with the RoadMorph.
