I have a topeak road morph for on the road, but want a nice floor pump for pumping before rides if needed.

Main concerns:
1. Accurate pressure guage, curious to see how accurate the morph really is...
2. Easy to attach/detach to valve
3. Somewhat easy to pump, but since it's a floor pump i assume it's a given?

Was looking at the park tools pump and didn't have stellar reviews..
Few bad reviews on the topeak pump as well, but mostly positive... guage seems off after 90 psi supposedly??

Just as a POI, my Morph is within 2# @ 90 PSI.

This is the answer to all your questions.

The Park's have horrible heads. I hate mine. I think most any pump is going to be accurate "enough".

I don't like the idea of the "smart head". I have a dual-head floor pump that only works for schrader now. Got it so I would only needed one pump. Gotta get a presta pump anyway.

Lezyne

The answer for all your floor and frame pump questions.

I got the Alloy Floor drive, and am very happy.

It has a reversible thread on chuck for Schraeder and Presta.

Lezyne for the cost/quality ratio.

I've got the Park PFP-3...and have been very happy with it. Nashbar has been selling it for about $20, and it's completely rebuildable should the need ever arise.

As far as Topeak, I've got a Joe Blow with the dual head (presta one side/schraeder the other), and the presta head WILL NOT hold on any of my three bikes. I ordered a new head for it, and have the exact same problem. To fix it, I ordered a replacement Park PFP-3 head, put it on the Topeak, and now I'm happy with my b@stardized Park/Topeak pump.

YMMV...

To be honest, there are enough things in cycling to spend your money on.

I have a cheap <$15 Schwinn pump that I've been using for 2 years, an it works fine. It's accurate as well, because I measure the psi with a gauge afterward.

note: I didn't pay for the gauge, I got it free from some bike shop as a promotion. So don't say I would of been better off buying a better pump with all the money spent on the gauge+pump.

I too am very happy with my Joe Blow Pro, but to be honest any decent floor pump should work.

Traditionalists vote for the Silca, so consider that line too.

Already mentioned and an excellent pump.

I like my blackburn tower 3... but I haven't had another one in a long time and I mainly bought it for the lifetime warranty.

I like high quality tools and I consider a floor pump to be a tool. I have a Joe Blow Pro. It is a good pump but not a great pump. I have had to replace the gage and have rebuilt the pump twice in three years. If I didn't have a pump and needed a new one or if I decide to put my Joe Blow Pro on Ebay, I would buy a Lezyne CNC pump. I have seen them for less than $70.00 and it will last for the rest of my life. It is built to a much higher standard that other pumps. After the Lezyne, a Silca would be my next choice.

Agreed!

update.

I just did some research. My Park is the first model made. It has the alloy head that is a bear to get on and off. It was also recalled back in 2004.

well, there you go.

I just picked up a Lezyne alloy floor pump. I haven't had a chance to use it yet but it looks like a quality piece of equipment.

ZippyThePinhead

I've been pretty happy with this one. It's a good pump, and for the money, I can't see how you could do better.

Accordion

I have this same pump. It's one notch down from the $100 CNC machined one. I didn't need the aluminum handle so it was worth the $30 savings.

It works like a champ and is a substantial piece of equipment. I've used it for four months without an issue. I have no idea how accurate the guage is. I pump to 120psi because I'm a fat guy. If it's off by a lot I could be in trouble.

I'm a big fan of Lezyne. Quality stuff that just works and will last a lifetime. I hope!

sideburn

Thanks guys, going to look into a lezyne cnc.

Going to search around for a good price, but if anyone sees a bargain let me know!

rbart4506

Just got a lezyne alloy and a 90deg slip chuck (for my wife's new disk wheel)....Used it on my road bike as a tester and I like...

Nice pump! I have a Topeak Joe Blow, which was the main pump...It will now be relegated to back up duty...

My Park PFP-4 seems fine. No dramas after two years. I have broken two presta valve screw on thingies, they can get bent attaching the pumphead, but I'm not sure if that's the pump, or the ham-fisted bike-nut on the handles.

ATX 6Speed

Has anyone suggested the Silca Super Pista yet? Seems like a great pump to me.

dgasmd

I've had a few, but the Air Tower 5 seems to be the better one so far. Good gauge, larger volumes, larger platform, easy to read gauge, etc. The only thing I did to make it the perfect pump was to replace the head with a Silca head. That thing simply rocks!!

jrobe

You are correct that an accurate guage is the most important thing. That is why I use a fairly inexpensive pump but then I use a separate, very accurate guage like this ($13).

I pump up my tires to about 120 psi and then slap this guage on and hit the release button to drop it to exactly 110 psi. I always know I am riding at the exact correct pressure. I am not too particular about the pump I buy anymore.

dgasmd

Sounds to me like a lot of extra and unnecessary work. give or take 5 PSI really does nothing big other than a bit more or less comfort.
