uk, pumps question

I seem to remember this, or a similar thread some time ago but as is always the case I wasn't
interested then! But now after trying to fix a puncture a few days ago I have decided that my
compact pump has to go cos. it's bloody useless! So can you either reccomend a good compact pump
that will acheive 100psi or thereabouts to carry on my bike or point me to the relavent thread.

Thanks SW

 

Steve, Topeak Road Morph gets my vote. A bit bigger than a compact pump, but 100 pounds is no
problem. The built in gauge is very handy and pretty accurate. A hose with a fitting gives it the
ability to be used like a floor pump I keep mine stuffed in the space in the seatback of my Giro.
There was a thread on Bentrideronline a couple of months back. It shows up around here every 6
months or so. Denny in Sayre Pa "Bent but not Broken" www.recumbentstuff.com

Mine too. I have one mounted horizontally behind the seat on my Giro on a piece of flat bar stock
aluminum attached to the bottom W/B bolts.

On my Lightning, it is strapped under the front of the seat.

I use a Sigma Sport Lambda Jet w. analog manometer.

I have this : http://www.zefal.com/anglais/produits/26.html

It took a bit getting used to, but it does the job and has brackets fitting the bottle holder. Many
strokes needed to reach 100+ psi (small volume pump)

Get one of those CO2 inflators. IMHO worth every penny for roadside inflation.

Until you have more flats than inflators....

BTW, can't be taken on a plane either.

No experience with it, but this looks interesting:

That does look interesting. I was thinking about it for my wife, who has a hell of a time getting up
to 120 psi with a hand pump, even the floor versions. Only 9 oz weight (255 g) too. Assuming it
works, the biggest downside would seem to be the bulk, as the thing sure isn't going to fit along
your top tube!
