What is the consensus on the best mini pump that gets to
at least
75-80 psi without being a gorilla? I do research and
Topek Mini Morph
seems the best. I don't want a full frame pump but open

and opinions. I just know those pint size little deals

don't cut it. My current no name Envo of whatever gets me
to about 62
psi but huge work and no flexible hose. Deacon Mark


My recommendation is a Lezyne Road Drive pump. Nicely
machined aluminium and with a flexible hose. The smaller
diameter road pumps are good for at least 100psi, if not
120psi. The larger diameter pumps are better for larger
volume and lower pressure tyres. There is a range to
choose from, from Lezyne.

The *only* issue I have had was when I hadn't used the
pump for a while and after its previous use with sweaty
hands, the aluminium end on the flexible hose had corroded
to the pump body. I make sure it is basically clean and
dab a little grease on the thread now.

Similar features on the somewhat larger Topeak Road Morph
which has a foot peg & flip out T-handle for operation as
painless as flat-tire-on-the road can be. Has a gauge as well.

There is a spectrum of features, materials, weight, size
and price. Avoid the lower end of it if you can.
