I've lost my leyzne micro drive, wasn't always the biggest fan of it so what is the STW hive mind pump of choice?
I need a CO2 inflator as well, is it worth getting something like the crank bros Klic hybrid, or stay separate?
Don't buy a Topeak DX. I've had two break in 12 months!
I've ended up with the blingy silver mini track pump. It's a bit big but it's very good. Bought the one without the gauge as they always have crap resolution at tubless pressures and set up using a Topeak digital gauge at the car and try to memorise the squeezability of the tyres in case of any trail side repairs.
Topeak mountain morph.
Lezyne so a shiny polished version, but like most lezyne stuff it looks good and well built but is utterly rubbish to use, the handle is too small and has sharp edges! The topeak just has a plastic fold out handle.
Also the valve head on the lezyne is beyond fiddly.
I've got the lezyne, seduced by its shinyness.
Truflo 2-stage is really good. Not the best made tbh, but they pump air like nobody's business and that's what really counts.
The oneup components one looks like it could be a winner. Has the advantage of being used to store other bits and bobs in but most importantly it looks like a really good HV pump as well.
Anyone using one?
I have the Lezyne micro drive and a Mountain Morph, both good, the Topeak is longer, heavier and a bit more awkward.
I love black burn pumps. I had one, it lasted for years, tried another couple from crank brothers and some other brand, they died within months.
Less time pumping, more time riding with the mammoth 🙂

Fabric do a HV pump which is small enough to go into a bumbag. Very nicely made and when I have had to use it its been rather good!
Topeak mountain morph as long as you are wearing a small backpack otherwise it has to be on your frame. We often end up using it on group rides once we get tired of watching folks try and use their tiny pumps. Had it forever now - it's great
I used my friends Blackburn mammoth yesterday and was sold on that I think.
Very tempted by the Topeak, but I rarely use a pack so it either needs to be on the bike or more often than not in my pocket.
Having had a few leyzne tools as lights over the years I was drawn in by the shiney shiney but it wasn't a great pump in winter in the slop and rain.
I bought a really cheap muddy fox one from sports direct in desperation. It's absolutely sound but probably doesn't cut the right image in the trail centre car park 😉
I have a Mountain Morph, but it's so big and bulky that I rarely carry it. I actually get on really well with the Lezyne one, just nip up your valve cores after adding latex and they'll stay happily in place ime. The tube on the Mountain Morph is also annoyingly slightly too short, particularly if you're using a plus-sized tyre.
I was wondering about a Silca Tattico, not particularly high volume but seems to be well made.
Mountain Morph for me too, had two as the first was nicked... had a Topeak Peak dx2 which failed after a handful of uses.

I have one, the 100cc version. Had to use it on it's first ride when the Mrs punctured. It does work well as a pump, good sold feel to it and gets the air in quickly. The head of the pump also screws off and is a head for C02 (not tried this bit yet). I have also just bought the tool to go in the pump, luckily not had to use the tool yet...
Overall, you can spend less on a pump and tool, but they are really well made and I can basically fix most problems that could happen while out within reason.
i just bought a turbo morph after some googling.. its a mountain morph, with a gauge
I have an alp kit one. Super cheap and does the job!

Yeah, I saw one of those. The gauge is so small you can't actually see that it says. I'm using a Fabric Accubar in conjunction with a Lezyne pump. Accurate, readable gauge. How often are people puncturing anyway? Since going tubeless about 50 years ago I've barely used a pump on the trail.
