not gonna happen .... seals perish - as i found out with my 10 year old seldom used blackburn mtn air ....

mountain morph beats all other pumps into a cocked hat ... 90psi in road tires - no issue , 40psi in an 2.1 tires no sweat either

I was going to say mountain morph too. Mines lasted pretty well so far, and it converts into a little track pump 🙂 How cool is that, it's like bike transformers...

or find a pump that can be rebuilt, my blackburn mtn air is so old I cant remember when I got it, >10years for sure, rebuilt twice in that time. I'd love a new slick, shiny pump for the trail but if there's nothing wrong why fix it...

you tried to get parts recently for the mtn air dave ? i bought a rebuild kit for mine about 2 weeks back after it failed on me .... didnt fit seems thing have changed at some point ... thought **** it and bought a morph after using someone elses to rescue my ride. Wish id done it long ago to be fair ..

Blackburn have a lifetime warranty but you need it. Mine fell apart 3 times before I retired it to a drawer.

Those lezyne pumps look amazing, and they have readily available rebuild kits too

you don't need a receipt for blackburn and my 2 are very reliable - 1 is a recent replacement for a 10+ year old pump I bought in USA

Those morphs ARE great though (left mine in a backpack on a bench on the seafront & some scrote lifted it 👿 )
