Comments on: Topeak Road Morph G Bike Pump with Gauge http://www.cyclingequipmentguide.com/8/topeak-road-morph-g-bike-pump-with-gauge/ Consumer Reviews Of The Best Cycling Equipment Sun, 21 Mar 2010 23:25:40 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Jeffry Ziegler http://www.cyclingequipmentguide.com/8/topeak-road-morph-g-bike-pump-with-gauge/comment-page-1/#comment-62 Jeffry Ziegler Sun, 21 Mar 2010 23:25:40 +0000 http://www.cyclingequipmentguide.com/8/topeak-road-morph-g-bike-pump-with-gauge/#comment-62 A great portable bike pump ...<br>Rating:5 out of 5 stars<br>I bought this pump because I needed a light weight "pseudo" floor pump when I travel with my bikes since you can't take CO2 cartridges on the plane and Topeak Road Morph actually worked BETTER than I had expected it would. The design is nice ... fold out "T-handle", small foot peg, and a inflation head attached to an extendable rubber hose ... and allows for reasonably rapid inflation of a road or 'cross bike tire. It is a good product ... I like it a lot. A great portable bike pump …

This is a great pump, can easily pump tires to over 110 psi, I’ve had one for years on my commuter bike, just bought a second one.

Pros – easy to achieve high pressure, pressure gauge, well Built.

Cons – kinda heavy

It is very compact, and works surprizingly well at pumping up the tire. The only difficulty is it is quite challenging to put the fitting on the stem.

The Schrader valve is used on many ordinary, everyday bicycles and it is just like the valve on an automobile tire. Like the reviewers above, I tried to assemble the pump but ended up having to call the manufacturer's customer service center to discover that parts were missing. The parts were sent and I assembled the pump as directed with customer service on the line. The pump is useless for Schrader valves. The metal collar of the pump tip is just narrow enough that it keeps it from fitting properly over the top of the valve stem and will not allow it to go deeply enough to push in the pin and allow air into the tire. As if that is not bad enough, it doesn't want to let go of the valve stem either and I nearly broke both the pump and valve getting it off. Maybe it works in Presta valves, I don't know. Would not work with regular “Schrader” valves

Saved me when I got a flat in the hills. I had no trouble using it at all. The foot pad is definitely a plus. I did a lot of research before deciding on this frame pump. <br /> <br />I chose this pump for 4 reasons. The positives: <br /> <br />1. It has a foot pad so you can use it like a regular floor pump. This definitely helps in pumping to 100+ psi easily. Saves you time and energy. If you have ever tried pumping your road tire to 100+ psi with just your arms and a tiny frame pump, you know what I mean. <br />2. It has a gauge so you don't need to worry about over or under inflating the tube. <br />3. It has a flexible hose so you don't have to worry about tearing out the valve. <br />4. Good reviews. <br /> <br />The negative: <br />1. It is one of the bulkier and heavier bike pumps. It fits on my 48cm road bike downtube and I'm sure it'll fit on the top tube too. Being on the downtube only leaves me one bottle cage holder but that has never been a problem for me. If I wanted something smaller and thinner, I'd rather just switch to CO2 cartridges. <br /> <br />I really recommend this to anyone who's looking for a frame pump that works as easily as a floor pump. <br /> A frame pump like a floor pump

Works great! Saved me when I got a flat in the hills. I had no trouble using it at all. The foot pad is definitely a plus. I did a lot of research before deciding on this frame pump.

I chose this pump for 4 reasons. The positives:

3. It has a flexible hose so you don’t have to worry about tearing out the valve.

4. Good reviews.

The negative:

1. It is one of the bulkier and heavier bike pumps. It fits on my 48cm road bike downtube and I’m sure it’ll fit on the top tube too. Being on the downtube only leaves me one bottle cage holder but that has never been a problem for me. If I wanted something smaller and thinner, I’d rather just switch to CO2 cartridges.

I really recommend this to anyone who’s looking for a frame pump that works as easily as a floor pump.

The pump is a bit bulky and doesn't look good on a sleek road bike frame, so I am carrying the pump in my Camelbak. But the pump just WORKS! <br /> <br />I already run presta valves on both road and mountain bikes, so I don't have to fuss with flipping the pump head. The valve does "clamp" on when up rather than down -- a bit different than most floor pumps, but no big deal. <br /> <br />Bottom line: 100 psi without a floor pump... this is a keeper. Great pump

It works great and I don't even notice it there. Personally, I didn't feel comfortable with the CO2 type inflators and wanted a manual one for portable use. This pump fit the bill perfectly.

I must say I will NEVER buy a direct valve pump. Listen to that review and buy a pump with a hose, you don't want to damage your valve, and you DO want to pump the tire stress free. <br /> <br /> bike pump
