  1. I have a Trek 5200 and am looking for a good frame mount
    mini pump. What are people's recommendations? I've heard
    good things about the Barbieri CarbOne Mini Pump and the
    Zefal hpX. Any others?

    TIA, Pete

    The Zefal HpX isn't a mini-pump, but rather is a full-size
    frame-mount pump. It's very good, though, and will pump up
    to 120 psi with no problems.

  3. I use full-size frame pumps now (Blackburn FP-1 and Zefal
    HPX) but used to use a Blackburn AS-1 minipump. It worked
    fine, but took about 400 strokes to reach 100 psi. You can
    attach its clamp under a bottle cage, using the same bolts.

    I don't know what you definition of a "mini pump" is but I suggest you take a look at the Topeak Road Morph.

    I used to swear by my Silca frame pump. Now I use a Topeak
    Road Morph- it's so much more convienient to brace the pump
    on the ground and pump with both hands.

    I second the Topeak Road Morph.

    I'll third the Topeak Road Morph. I've got the one with the built-in pressure gauge. Nice. It is longer and heavier then the true mini pumps but, I think, worth it.

    Another recommendation for the Topeak Road Morph. I'll add
    that the extra length means you will be pumping for less
    time than a smaller pump. My second recommendation would be
    a Zefal HPX. A very reliable and relatively fast pump that
    will get road tires up to full pressure. That is the pump I
    was using before the road morph.

    Claimed 160psi, and I believe them.

    Maybe if you're a body-builder, but not with a
    cyclist's typical upper body development <Grin>. 120's
    no problem, though.

    I haven't found any mini pumps I like, but let me advise you
    against the Specialized PVO Mini.

    I like the Topeak Turbo Morph:
    topeak.compump 011.html

    The Topeak Morphs are IMO one of the best range of mini
    pumps you can buy, but you really need to replace the
    supplied frame mount with something else (it's not very good
    IMO). I haven't done so yet, but I'm thinking of buying
    something like this nashbar.comprofile moreimag
    es.cfm?category=&subcategory=&sku=2258&brand= or this http:-
    //www.performancebike.com/shop/cbolarge_photo.cfm?SKU=3023&-
    Store=Bike

    Anyone who has tried either of them, or even has some better
    suggestions?

    Best regards,

    martin törnsten
