My 6 year old specialised airtool has finally given up the ghost. I'm only after something good enough for occasion trail side punctures, probably only used the last pump a handful of times.

Who makes the pumps that turn into a mini track pump?

Has anyone seen any good deals on pumps in the sales?

I'm currently looking at a few Leyzene pumps but only because they look good, no idea if they are actually worth the money.

+1 for the Mountain Morph.
Compared with some it's a big ****er though.

If you have room for it in the pack, then Mountain morph is an excellent piece of kit
For something that would also be small enough for a pocket then the Leyzene alloy drive in its medium size.

Truflo Minitrack- like a Mountain Morph, but better, inflates tyres much faster and doesn't fall to bits. Their old Evolution was ace too but seems to be discontinued.

Any one mentioned MTB Morph? Mine years old and the foot/stand gave out last year after sterling service, still works fine without it

The morph looks ideal, especially as I'm now a proud fat bike owner so could do with a good volume pump. 35cm is long but should fit in my Mule

Cheers guys

I've got the mini morph one and it fits in my rear pocket fine as well if you do the odd ride without a backpack.

Mini morph for mr. Quite a lot smaller than the mountain and nearly as good so fine for occasional use.

Mountain Morph.

The foot peg looks a bit feeble, but it's lasted 2 years so far.

I've been using a Mountain Morph for many years and would definitely recommend - one of Topeak's best products IMHO. Unlike BBS I've broken the foot plate but it still works perfectly well for me.

Lezyne do a similar pump, probably a bit slicker-looking and may work even better, but a bit more expensive I'd imagine.

I'd also recommend these for half the price:-

We've been using this model since 2007 (originally branded as Axiom). They are designed for road tyres, but are surprisingly quick and get mtb pressures with minimal effort.

I'm a big Mountain Morph fan, and mine has given years of great service, but have recently switched to carrying a Lezyne HV Drive just because it is quicker to switch between Schrader and Presta. Which is handy if you ride a lot with young kids or ill prepared commuters..... 🙄

At risk of disagreeing with everyone else I have a Blackburn Mammoth and it is great, never had any problems with it. Quite big though.
