- Recommend me a decent trail pump please.
Lezyne alloy drive fits in my butt pocket.

I like.Topeak Mountain Morph. Brilliant.
Posted 5 years agoStoner going hipster stylee using his pockets…
Topeak are certainly very highly rated, with the Mountain Morph being a great one.
Sadly, I have no need to buy one until* my beloved 15+ year old Blackburn Mammoth dies.
*Until meaning – If it ever dies, I’ll just get on the phone to Blackburn to get it replaced under the lifetime warranty.
Posted 5 years agoi’ve got one of these. had it for years now & still going strong. simple to strip down & service so expect it to last indefinitely. quite long and large volume so no issues getting it to inflate up to 30+ psi. cheap. tonnes better that the majority of my mate’s mini pumps.

Posted 5 years agoI’ve got a Topeak (dunno which one) but it’s small, light and pumps up a flat in no time.
Posted 5 years agoThat’s the thing for me, the higher the psi the better – horrendous pinch flat fest yesterday (not to mention riding over a nailed horse shoe but that’s another story).
Posted 5 years agonice lezyne pump – touch bulky but fairly high volume and will also do road tyores to a decent psi as well- £30
Posted 5 years agoThe Lezyne pumps are great and I find there’s less air leakage with a screw-on hose style attachment, so it’s easier to get the tyres back up to pressure.
Down side: Many tubes have removable valve cores now. These are prone to unscrew as you remove the pump hose after inflation – bloody annoying.
Posted 5 years agohipster? how very dare you.
Enduro shorts have cavernous arse bags. Tool and spare inner in one, alloy drive in the other and some patches to cover bad luck. I dont like to have to carry a bag on a short blast. Sometimes I might stuff all that in the back of my gilet though if its cold enough to wear it.
Posted 5 years ago+1 for the specialized airtool, had mine for a few years and works well.
Posted 5 years agoif only I had the physique!
Posted 5 years agoM:part evo fits nicely in a pack, mini floor pumpmstyleeeeeee
Posted 5 years agoGet a lezyne, makes having a puncture almost pleasurable….
Posted 5 years agoSomething that’s capable of inflating more than a gnats lung. Thinking of a Lezyne
Posted 5 years agoSwayed away from the screw on type Lezyne pumps after trying one which removed my valve cores. Ended up with Lezyne Classic pump which I’m really pleased with
Posted 5 years agoTopeak Mtn Morph here, replaced a Blackburn Mammoth, sells itself to everyone who borrow it.

The BB was resurrected with a new O-ring, but the Morph was so much better I gave the BB awayLezyne alloy, light, never have a problem connecting it since it comes with a hose.
Posted 5 years agoLezyne Floor Drive sits in my backpack. Plus some Co2 cannisters.
Posted 5 years agoAnother Topeak Mountain Morph user – highly recommend it, will have your tyres pumped up in no time on the trailside
Posted 5 years agoLezyne for me aswell,Faultless and well made
Posted 5 years agoTopeak Mountain Morph here. Used in anger today – and really no bother to use. I think the pressure gauge reads a little high, but I can live with that.
Replaced a Blackburn Airstick which was always a bit of a fight to get tires up to pressure. If I didn’t have a nice frame fit pump on my road bike, the Topeak would go everywhere.
Posted 5 years agoI have the mountain morph as well as the lezyne alloy drive, but you cant carry the MM in your pocket. If I were to pack a rucksack then I might consider taking the MM.
Posted 5 years agoAnother one for the Lezyne Micro Floor. It’s been faultless for 3 years now, and as a bonus it’s really shiney.
Posted 5 years ago+1 for the Mountain Morph
Having made do with cheap pumps previously I bought one of the these about 4 years ago.
Still running perfectly & all I’ve had to do in that time is take it apart once for a quick re-grease.
Everyone who borrows it from me is impressed.
Posted 5 years agoI can’t wait to spoil myself with a new trail pump but I too am waiting for my Blackburn mamouth to die which it shows no sign of doing. Odd, as Blackburn can’t make a track pump to save their lives.
Posted 5 years agoanother +1 for Mountain Morph and I fix a lot of flats out on the trail!
Posted 5 years agoTopeak Turbo Mountain Morph is your friend. And will make you the friend of anyone else you ride with when they get a puncture. It’s a mini track pump
Posted 5 years agoGood recommendations, I’m grateful – thanks.
The MM looks to be a great trail pump but I think it would be too big for the pump port on my Lobo pack (length wise – would fly out on rough terrain).
I’m therefore gonna plump for the Lezyne Micro Floor Drive.
Cheers all.
