Topeak Road Morph G Bike Pump with Gauge

Topeak Road Morph G Bike Pump with Gauge Every dedicated cyclist needs a good portable pump for his or her training rides. However, many on-the-go pumps are somewhat clunky and not all that easy to use. Enter the Topeak Road Morph G, which packs floor pump efficiency and ease of use into a compact, portable design you can bring along for the ride. The Road Morph G boasts a clever foldout footpad that stabilizes the pump against the ground rather than your hand, creating a comfortable, efficient pumping motion. Plus, the pump's flexible air hose makes it easy to work with awkward or tight valve placements while also helping prevent valve stem damage. Other features include an extra-long barrel, an inline gauge, a secure mounting bracket, a Presta/Schrader head, and a plastic thumb lock. The Road Morph G measures 2.2 by 13.8 by 1.1 inches (W x H x D) and weighs 0.49 pounds.


Customer Review: really the best
1) very well designed overall

2) has a foot pad! it seems small and insignificant, but, it make a huge difference (much easier to get to proper pressure than a hand pump)

3) has a gauge. enough said.



i think this is a must-have for your bike.
Customer Review: Ok for low pressure tires
This pump will work just fine for bikes with low pressure tires, but it gets very difficult to use above 90 psi. I have high pressure tires that need to be inflated to 100 - 140 psi. I am not a small guy at all, but my hands and arms were killing me by the time I got the tire pressure to about 120 psi. It felt like I had done a weightlifting workout! I will keep the pump in case I get a flat on the road, but I am going to buy another pump for home use only. The other problem with this pump is that it doesn't easily mount anywhere on the frame of the bike. There is no mounting kit included with the pump, so you'll have to jury rig something or stick it in a pannier or backpack.
