Topeak Road Morph G Bike Pump with Pressure Gauge

by storemaster Leave a reply »

Every dedicated cyclist needs a good portable pump for his or her training rides. However, many on-the-go pumps are somewhat clunky and not all that easy to use.

Enter the Topeak^® Road Morph^™ G, which packs floor pump efficiency and ease of use into a compact, portable design you can bring along for the ride. The Road Morph G boasts a clever foldout footpad that stabilizes the pump against the ground rather than your hand, creating a comfortable, efficient pumping motion. Plus, the pump’s flexible air hose makes it easy to work with awkward or tight valve placements while also helping prevent valve stem damage. Other features include an extra-long barrel, an inline gauge, a secure mounting bracket, a Presta/Schrader head, and a plastic thumb lock. The Road Morph G measures 2.2 by 13.8 by 1.1 inches (W x H x D) and weighs 0.49 pounds.

Topeak Road Morph G Bike Pump with Gauge Reviews

great design, easy to use
The key feature of this pump is that the pump head is connected to the main pump by a short section of rubber tubing. This lets you put the end of the pump on the ground after locking the head onto the tube valve. Then, you can use your body weight to do the pumping as with a floor pump, which is nice if you’ve got skimpy arms like me and need road tire pressure (100+ psi). A short, plastic foot swings down so you can use your foot to keep the bottom end of the pump from slipping as you pump. I’m a bit worried that this foot or its hinge will break, so I try to be careful not to stress it when I’m pumping on pavement, but it’s held up fine after over a dozen uses. Finally, while the gauge doesn’t seem to be super precise, it’s definitely good enough to be confident that you’ve got the right amount of pressure ’til you get home to your floor pump. As a year-round, carless commuter, I’m happy I found this reliable, well-designed pump and have recommended it enthusiastically to other cycle-commuters.

Pump works great!
I received my pump and found out that I miss one of the components. Called the company and they shipped it to me free of charge. The pump works great, much better than the cheap one from Walmart I used. Now, I can venture farther out from home without worrying about forgetting my cell phone and bothering my wife. I do wish they come with a good instruction though. No biggy

Like two pumps in one…or one pump that does two things
I considered tossing out my floor pump once I started using this frame pump. The best things: a pressure gauge on the valve and a little flap that you can step on to keep the pump steady. You need this pump if you’re into changing tires.
