  1. I have a Trek 5200 and am looking for a good frame mount mini pump.
    What are people's recommendations? I've heard good things about the
    Barbieri CarbOne Mini Pump and the Zefal hpX. Any others?

    TIA,
    Pete

    The Zefal HpX isn't a mini-pump, but rather is a full-size frame-mount
    pump. It's very good, though, and will pump up to 120 psi with no
    problems.

  3. I use full-size frame pumps now (Blackburn FP-1 and Zefal HPX) but used to use
    a Blackburn AS-1 minipump. It worked fine, but took about 400 strokes to
    reach 100 psi. You can attach its clamp under a bottle cage, using the same
    bolts.

    I don't know what you definition of a "mini pump" is but I suggest you
    take a look at the Topeak Road Morph.

    I used to swear by my Silca frame pump. Now I use a Topeak Road
    Morph- it's so much more convienient to brace the pump on the ground
    and pump with both hands.

    I second the Topeak Road Morph.

    I'll third the Topeak Road Morph. I've got the one with the built-in
    pressure gauge. Nice. It is longer and heavier then the true mini pumps
    but, I think, worth it. Steve Shapiro

    Another recommendation for the Topeak Road Morph. I'll add that the extra
    length means you will be pumping for less time than a smaller pump. My
    second recommendation would be a Zefal HPX. A very reliable and relatively
    fast pump that will get road tires up to full pressure. That is the pump
    I was using before the road morph.

    Claimed 160psi, and I believe them.

    Maybe if you're a body-builder, but not with a cyclist's typical upper
    body development <Grin>. 120's no problem, though.

    I haven't found any mini pumps I like, but let me advise you against
    the Specialized PVO Mini.

    I like the Topeak Turbo Morph:
    http://www.topeak.com/2004/products/pump_011.html

    The Topeak Morphs are IMO one of the best range of mini pumps you can buy, but
    you really need to replace the supplied frame mount with something else (it's
    not very good IMO). I haven't done so yet, but I'm thinking of buying something
    like this
    http://www.nashbar.com/profile_moreimages.cfm?category=&subcategory=&sku=2258&brand=
    or this
    http://www.performancebike.com/shop/cbolarge_photo.cfm?SKU=3023&Store=Bike

    Anyone who has tried either of them, or even has some better suggestions?

    Best regards,
