 Easy to use, and works wellAug 12, 2007
By LT
"So many books, so little time!"
I bought this pump after looking at the advice on [...]. I've pumped up to 85psi, and could have probably gone higher. It does get harder to pump as you get in the higher pressure ranges, of course, and I don't know how my strength compares to potential purchasers, but I guess it would be important to know that you do have to push hard, and I'm a 48-yr old, 260 lb guy who enjoys weightlifting. I'm not saying it's excessively tough, and I cannot make a comparison to other pumps. I'm simply trying to make everyone aware of what to expect. For me, I think it's great.
I really appreciated all the extra features:
1) the flexible hose makes it easy to pump without worrying about stressing the valve
2)the pressure gauge prevents you from losing pressure when you take off the pump, check pressure with a separate guage, put the pump back on, take it off again to check pressure, etc. You just pump up to the desired pressure and you're done!
3) the fold out handle and foot stabilizer helps you get up to the higher pressures more easily.
I like it. My only recommedations for a better design would be a longer foot stabilizer (I have size 13 feet), an easier to read pressure gauge (as I said, I'm 48, so my eyes ain't so good anymore!), and better directions (virtually non-existent documentation -- I know we're talking about an air pump here, but since I hadn't ridden in a long time until we started bike-training for a 160 mile ride I wasn't "pump-savvy." I thought you should have the lever in the "up" position to put it on the valve, and push it down to secure it when pumping. Turns out it's the opposite!)

Topeak Turbo Morph G Bike Pump with GaugeNov 04, 2006
By Thomas W. Parrish
"Thomas W. Parrish"
I bought this pump just prior to riding in the 2006 MS150 City-to-Shore Bicycle Tour (from Cherry Hill, NJ to Ocean City, NJ and back), a tour in which I experienced two flats on the first day. New Jersey has lots of glass on its highways, and a rainy start made said glass stick to tires and work its way in.
This pump performed exactly as advertised. It has a fold-out "foot" so it operates like a floor pump, and its integrated gauge worked perfectly. I easily achieved 95 lbs. of pressure. Good pump. Buy it with confidence.

High pressure, low logistic foot printJul 20, 2008
By J. Riquelme
"Monkihead"
I have use this only on the road when no other air source is available, and that is when it is at it's best. It will take you up over 100psi, but you will need to be well winded, it will take lots of pumping to get there and the last 10 or so pumps will be tough. The flip out handle is a good feature and necessary; when you pump above 70 PSI you will need that handle to spread the pressure on your hand. My hands are huge and find the fold out just barely adequate. Gauge is handy, but not accurate enough to get you within 5 PSI with any certainty. The fold out foot peg is great, it does keep the pump from pogo-ing. Use care, much of contruction is flimsy plastic and wouldn't take much to break. Excellent lightweight pump to carry on-board bike, but definitely not a a substitute for a hand pump back in garage.

Best frame pumpNov 11, 2008
By antigone
I still use the first edition of this pump, the "master blaster w/gauge", on my commuting bike. It has seen me through 20,000 bicycle miles, 44 countries, 10 years of bicycle commuting, and MANY flats like a true champ.
The foot flap, the handle that turns to 90 degrees for pumping, and the gauge make this pump the next best thing to having an actual floor pump strapped to your back the moment you need it out on the road. The better gauge and "turbo" pumping on this new one are awesome. I carry it on my racing and touring bikes. It makes achieving the higher pressures in those tires much easier, and the gauge is more precise and much easier to see.
I own three versions of this pump, and I use them all. After much frustration with other pumps, I swear by this pump. It delivers. I have pitched all the other useless and ineffective ones that I purchased prior. This latest version is definitely worth the few extra dollars to get the top of the line features. It is lighter, faster, and more precise. Any of the versions are good, though. Like I said above, I still use my 10 years old one to fix those frustrating, half way home, and of course always in the dark and raining commuting flats, and it works just fine.
Happy cycling!! :)

 Pump it upJun 20, 2009
By The Trewthe
Nice pump the gauge is a plus you can get the rite psi without going back and forth.It can inflate a tube pretty fast untill you get up around 65 psi it does become a job but you wont be there the whole day cursing.The floor stand is not even worth putting on the pump, sorry again if you want to make something sturdy try using metal not a tab of plastic.Great pump other wise thank you topeak and amazon for fast service.
