Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Compact pump recommendation?

I searched a bit but didn't come up with much. My 'Crank Bros' compact pump claims to 'easily inflate to 120 psi' but that's BS. I suppose if you're fresh and properly warmed up and have about 45 minutes to kill you might be able to approach that (assuming you don't bust the stem off in the process, or lose 50 lbs trying to pry the pump off the stem), so I wonder if you can recommend a pump to carry around that can just get me to 100psi or so without too much of a struggle. Smaller, lighter the better, but I'd prefer to stay away from a C02.

Any thoughts greatly appreciated.

Now Topeak makes a "Mini Morph" that's even smaller than the road morph and has a bracket that attached to your braze-ons.

The Road Morph w/gauge or mini Road Morph w/o gauge are both awesome. I have the regular Road Morph because I wanted the gauge. It is only like 1 5/8" longer than the mini but does have a different mounting bracket.

The mini-morph is not bad. It is half the size and weight as the regular road morph, but it does take twice as many strokes to pump up your tire. If you don't get many flats, it is a reasonable compromise.

i agree with the topeak road morph, i use it and love it, easy to get to high pressures and fast too, the gauge is a nice plus
