any road pump recommendations ?
I have touring bike with Vittoria Randonneur 700x32 tires - they need
about 80psi. I bought Crank Brothers Alloy Pump for it but then checked online reviews and they are very polarized - people either hate it or think it is the best pump they ever had. Are there any other pumps you could recommend? JT |

JT Best pump is the Zefal xpx full frame. mini pumps are silly, especially for touring where you don't need to save weight. http://www.bikepro.com/products/pumps/zeffram.html Get it he http://www.coloradocyclist.com/product/item/ZEFPFYDT |

Regarding mini-pumps - I have Topeak Master Blaster DX on my MTB and couple times that I tried to use it I was not very happy with results. Maybe I should try Crank Brothers pump on MTB - esp since you can mount it on top tube where there is less chance for it to snag a branch. |

My bike has second bottle holder there and I would hate to lose it - is it possible to mount it underneath the top tube? |

Are there any other pumps you could recommend? Topeak Road Morph is very quick and easy, even for a lightweight woman. The pump is pretty bulky, though. The Topeak Mini Morph is smaller, but takes more time and effort. Another vote for the TRM. There was a thread in RBT not long ago, and the TRM was the consensus choice. Sounds like there are a lot of junky small pumps out there. Here are some reviews: http://www.mtbr.com/reviews/Pump/product_86619.shtml I have one. Up to 80psi you should have no trouble. Above that, it becomes a bit of a workout. J. |

Many bicycles have pump pegs for this, though you can also use a clamp mount thingee on the forward end. You do have to buy the proper length. |

Looks like a true classic. Only concern is how well it stays on Presta valve? Can you lock it? Or do you have to press with your hand? |

JT Unless you live in a place with unusual road hazards, such robust tires should go long enough between punctures to make the limitations of even the lousiest pump bearable. land "turn the question on its head" otter |
