Best Mini Pump with Gauge? Turbo Morph vs Lezyne Micro Floor

Ezy_Alpes

Hi

I'm looking at getting a compact pump to fit in my Dakine Amp 18L, with an accurate gauge.

Looking at 3 options

1) Topeak Turbo Morph G
Pro - cheaper and good reviews
Con - 32cm so slightly longer, possibly not as durable as Lezyne

2) Lezyne Micro Floor Drive HV ABS Pump with Gauge
Pro - Very durable and slightly smaller 30cm
Con - expensive and read reviews that said gauge jumpy and question accuracy

or

3) Using a digital pressure reader, possibly more accurate but sounds like a hassle.
Topeak Smarthead Digital Gauge D2
Pro - very accurate
Con - expensive and hassle using it, changing over pump and gauge.

Any advice on these pumps and digital reader, or if you recommend another pump.

Cheers
James

I've got the lezyne without a gauge, it's the bee's knees

Use a track pump with a gauge at home, and a small emergency one without on the trail.

I have one pump (Topeak Mountain Morph - excellent) and one gauge (BBB little digital thingy - works) they both are kept in my Camelbak

...must get a track pump on of these days

Got a Topeak mini pump with gauge. http://www.evanscycles.com/products/top ... e-ec033900

Gauge is a piece of crap - can hardly see it and it doesn't seem to work anyway. If I bought again I'd not bother with a gauge.

I use a digital Oxford gauge at home (and a car tyre foot pump) and just estimate it on the trails - as long as it's within a few psi I'm happy. Seeing as I hardly ever check pressures anyway they are probably way off what I think they are!

Once you have one you won't know how you lived without it.

Yeah, I have two, one lives in the house, one in the car.

Indeed. Especially as I currently have one of those real slow punctures on one of the bikes and every few days I get it out, forget about the puncture then have to piss around with the midi-sized Topeak.

Well recommend me one then...£30ish? - can use the £10 CRC code

Cheers guys, I'm going to get a track pump. And carry on using my usual pump and thumb as I have done in the past.

I'll give that a go and might get a digital gauge in the future.

Cheers
