minipump recommendations

I have several Topeak pumps. I had to call them once because I lost a bracket and had a small component wear out. I called Topeak and received amazing Customer Service. They definitely have earned my business.

The entire topeak line is awesome. The road morph with gauge is my personal favorite, but it's a bit long for a jersey pocket, though I have done it. This pump was the first to permit pumping against the ground, like your shop floor pump, but made to go, and it's still the best. It's so much easier than any pump which uses just your two arms against each other. The mountain morph is even faster but struggles a bit to reach 120+ psi. The mini morph will fit better in your jersey pocket, since it's much shorter, but it lacks the gauge. With these pumps, you will actually volunteer to pump other peoples' tires to full pressure on group rides. It's that easy.

Also doubles as an extendable dog baton, especially if you wrap up a nice tight ball of electrical tape on the end. WHAP WHAP.. fuckin' dogs.

Also weighs over twice as much as a Lezyne, though. For something I hope to pretty never use, weight wins every time

Another vote for the Lezyne. Small but still able to get up over 100psi, fits in jersey pocket or they have a nice mount that goes under the water bottle cage that is hardly noticeable when its there.

Too bad, cause I like the design on it better otherwise.

It's hard to find except on ebay, but the KCNC KOT07 is both tiny and
actually works. It's my backup to CO2 when I'm on long rides.

(I can easily get 80psi with some patience)

I think have the same topeak pump and I love it. But it seems too big for a
jersey pocket. Maybe I am being too prudent.

Thanks!

Hi Brad,

I prefer the Lezyne road Drive pump. The flexible hose allows you to attach
it to the valve and get the best angle on it while you are pumping in air
and you dont have to worry about breaking the delicate presta valve tip.

This seems to be a very popular pump among cyclists.

Hope this helps.

I have a Topeak Road Morph G that I take with me on rides and commutes. It's a little on the long side especially if you have shallow jersey pockets - but I haven't lost it yet. No problem at all getting tires up to 110+ PSI. I also have a Crank Bros Gem L with the dual position high-volume/high-pressure switch, but even in high pressure mode it doesn't seem to work as well for road pressures as the Topeak. Too bad, cause I like the design on it better otherwise.

Anyone have a Mini pump recs for a pump that fits in a jersey pocket
and actually pumps road tires?

Thanks
