My 25+ year old Silca Impero frame fit pump is fine for showing off on C&V rides, but for everyday I want something more dependable - and less likely to fail from age. I'm not interested in CO2 systems - pump suggestions only, please!

Lezyne Road Drive - compact size- fits in jersey pocket or can be mounted on frame, easily pumps up to 120+ psi, screw on valve interface assures secure fit and prevents valve breakage. I've had mine for a couple years now and never had any problems with it.

Lezyne, +1

Lezyne Road Drive, as others have mentioned. I had to use mine this weekend and it worked very well.

Specialized Mini Pump. No mouths to change or anything. Very compact. Gets up to the 100psi's.

BUT very short stroke = 500-600 pumps. I had to do this twice today on my long ride... Blech.

I liked my Blackburn full size, but twice the plunger has let air get past it so it won't get much air in. I re-oiled it a year or 2 ago, then forgot about it. Went to use it a couple of weeks ago, but no-go. Good thing I was in the basement at the time, not stuck on the road. A few dribbles of water might have worked in a pinch.
They sent me a new one, but it looks like the same plunger type as the old one (o-ring). I may try it, but reserving judgement.

Lezyne Road Drive. Never had to use it, sits on the frame using the water bottle mounts. I also have one of their floor pumps and like that one alot.

+1 for Lezyne Road Drive, get the pen gauge too, it is surprisingly accurate.

JoelS

Lezyne. Or the ToPeak Road Morph. That's a good pump too, and has a built in gauge.

I have a Blackburn Carbon Fiber frame and love it. I have tried the mini pumps but hate the short stroke. Used Co2 for a week and quit the.

I've had good luck with the Topeak Road Morph G.

+1. Just realize that some people might call you a fred just because you have a great pump mounted on your frame. It's not as small as Lezyne, but it works great and is easy to use. I have sometimes used it as a substitute for a floor pump.

Zefal, Topeak or Planet Bike frame pump. I've used all three and they all work good. A frame pump always looks right on a classic bike.

If you don't use it yourself, you can loan it to the mini pump people so they don't have to pump 600 times while you're waiting for them.

+1. Just be aware that the Road Drive comes with a Presta-only adaptor and the medium size has enough volume that it doesn't take that long to pump up a 700x27c to 90 psi. In addition, since this adaptor screws onto the "tip" of the Presta valve, you need to make sure that any removable Presta valve core is tightened down properly or you may inadvertently unscrew the valve while trying to remove the adaptor. Don't ask me how I know.

But it's good enough that I've converted almost all of my bikes to it. Even comes in black if you're not into silver.

i bought one of these for my wife from velo orange:

Quicker Pro Pump



its heavy and stout, but actually pretty short (it can squeeze into a medium avenir big mouth saddlebag). I've put it in a jersey pocket too (but its big). but man can this sucker fill up a tire quick and to a high PSI. it has a dual pump telescoping mech that works when you extend it. it makes a funny rhythmic suck-knock-suck-knock sound. it also has a "pressure gauge" but it doesn't really work.

I have the topeak road morph which works great but needs a ton of strokes (200 at least) to barely get to 105psi. And is longer than the quicker pro (but 1/3rd the weight).

edit: here's a video of the pump in action (warning its a rider and makes the usual recumbent claims of being faster ect).

you can see that the pumping (and its telescoping double action) is quick and easy to 105psi (even with his complaints). plus you can hear the ridiculous noise it makes.

still its an awesome pump.

Anyone have experience with other lezyne pumps such as the lezyne HP road drive or the lezyne pressure drive? I can't really see many differences between those two and the road drive.

Carbon Unit

I have owned a Blackburn CF fame pump. I didn't like it. I have a Topeak Road Morph. It works well but looks out of place on my newish bike. Also I own a Topeak floor pump and a Lezyne floor pump. There is a huge difference is quality between the Topeak and the Lezyne. I don't think anyone makes a better pump than Lezyne.

Lezyne Road Drive.

I bought a Bontrager Air Support Road and have been quite happy with it. Inexpensive and it doesn't take long to pump up a road tire. Can't remember the max PSI, but it works in a jiffy when you get a flat.

I use the Quicker Pro.

It's not as good as a floor pump or a full-sized frame pump but it fits into a jersey pocket and expands almost to the size of a full-sized frame pump so one can easily get it to 100+ psi without too much work.

I also travel with this pump 4+ times a year and it's a good replacement for not being able to pack a floor pump in a suitcase.

Dan The Man

Anything with a hose attachment ala Topeak Roadmorph. There are a lot of similar functioning clones now though.

runningDoc

^what I like about the quicker pro pump is how easily it gets to ≥100psi the pumps are only a tiny bit harder from zero psi.

it still takes 100+ pumps to get there but the effort is less. with my topeak its really an effort after 80psi, you'll get there but damn its a workout.

This is the Quicker Pro expanded next to a 56cm top tube frame:


Not the lightest at 160g but not the porkiest either.

I did have a bad ride one time a few winters ago where it was miserably cold and slushy and I got 2 flats on the ride and it ripped out the valve head on one of the tubes. I blame the tube, however, as the valve heads were not the screw-in type but were press fitted.
