  1. I had a flat on my RANS Tailwind this weekend, and was sans pump. There is
    1/2 of a pump holder on the frame of the Tailwind- is it there for
    anything - is there a pump that works with this?

    Does anyone have a suggestion for a pump that I can attach to the frame and
    keep it there?

    Thanks in advance.

    It's designed for a Zefal HPx3 pump ('3' is the size). The handle rests
    against the pump peg, and the pump's head against the frame. A Velcro
    strap helps keep it from getting launched when you hit a bump, etc.

    AH HAH! Now the mystery of the single pump peg has been solved on my Tailwind too!

  5. Crank Bros Alloy pump is small, light, has a gauge and dual cyclinder and an
    attaching holder that will fit any tube. It's a powerful little pump - the
    only one I could find that would put a tyre up to 80 lbs without undue
    strain..

    Paul,

    Take a look at the Topeak Road Morph. It will pump up to 120 and then
    some with no problem. Now I "...don't leave home without one."

    I second the Topeak Road Morph. But the Zefal is ok too. Kelly

    The Zéfal HPX is the One True Pump, but the Road Morph is more
    portable. I can get the Road Morph into my Ortlieb Bike Box, but the
    HPX was always and remains to this day the easiest hand pump with
    which to get pressures of 100psi and above, in my opinion.

    I have had an HPX (the same one) for over twenty years, and it was
    only two years ago that I bought my first track pump.

  9. Topeaks are definitely good pumps, but RANS designed that peg to fit the
    Zefals HPx3. I tried mounting a Road Morph to my Stratus, but never did
    come up with a satisfactory location/method.

    Guy,

    I used to feel that way about my Zefal, but my results with the Topeak
    vs. the Zefal were different. I found it easier and quicker to get up
    to 100 plus with the Topeak. I was carrying both on the V-REX. The
    Strada doesn't have a peg pump, but I'm still keeping the Zefal!!
    Maybe for me it was because of technique. With the Topeak, I can use
    my body weight due to its construction. YMMV

    Cheers
