I seem to remember this, or a similar thread some time ago but as is always the case I wasn't interested then! But now after trying to fix a puncture a few days ago I have decided that my compact pump has to go cos. it's bloody useless! So can you either reccomend a good compact pump that will acheive 100psi or thereabouts to carry on my bike or point me to the relavent thread.
Steve, Topeak Road Morph gets my vote. A bit bigger than a compact pump, but 100 pounds is no problem. The built in gauge is very handy and pretty accurate. A hose with a fitting gives it the ability to be used like a floor pump I keep mine stuffed in the space in the seatback of my Giro. There was a thread on Bentrideronline a couple of months back. It shows up around here every 6 months or so. Denny in Sayre Pa "Bent but not Broken" www.recumbentstuff.com

I use a Sigma Sport Lambda Jet w. analog manometer.
It took a bit getting used to, but it does the job and has brackets fitting the bottle holder. Many strokes needed to reach 100+ psi (small volume pump)

Thanks SW
Get one of those CO2 inflators. IMHO worth every penny for roadside inflation.
That does look interesting. I was thinking about it for my wife, who has a hell of a time getting up to 120 psi with a hand pump, even the floor versions. Only 9 oz weight (255 g) too. Assuming it works, the biggest downside would seem to be the bulk, as the thing sure isn't going to fit along your top tube!
