Blackburn TPS-2 floorpump was 25% off at bikeshop. Got it and it makes quite a difference from
those small ones I usually take with me on the bike. (Sigma Sport Lambda Jet and currently a Crank
Brothers Power Pump.)

I went on a pumping spree and pumped *clap* my TE-clone, the old DF and our wheelbarrow up. Will
be good to have this to keep them topped up and the small ones for emergencies.

This sounds as if it possibly could have been your first time with a floor pump. You haven't been
doing it by hand all this time have you?

Just wondering. ;-)

So what was the average speed increase for the wheelbarrow after proper tire inflation?

The closest thing I have found to a bike portable floor pump is the Topeak Morph. It is compact enough to be carried in my back carrier, yet easily pumps a 20x1.95 tire to 110 lbs

As an owner of two morphs, I would suggest that "easily" is overstating it somewhat - the only on-
bike pump that "easily" achieves that kind or pressure in my experience is the Zefal HPX. But the
Morph will do it.

Just watch your fingers in the T handle as you pump ;-)

I had a Road Morph but contrived to lose it last Wednesday. I found an old Zefal HPX in the shed to
tide me over until the new Road Morph arrives, so obviously I was a prime candidiate for a visit
from the P+nct+r+ Fairy. Who duly showed up on Saturday morning.

Hurrah! It was outside the pub Bah! It wasn't open.

From this experience I can confidently state that for decrepit me, the Road Morph works /much/
better than the Zefal, which will be relegated back to the shed ASAP.
