Can you help me choose a pump for my mountain bike. It has 27.5 x 2.25 tyres. Presta valve. Boardman team hardtail 2014. I want a portable pump I can carry with me on the bike.
I have norrowed it down to the below topeak pumps, unless there is one I have missed or an alternative from a different manufacturer. All pump upto 160psi. Which will be best suited for my needs which require the least pumps to inflate tyre. With or without the G which stands for gauge.
Mini Morph
Mega Morph
Road Morph
Mountain Morph
Turbo Morph
Thanks

For a MTB you don't need a pump that will go up to 160psi. You want one that is low pressure but high volume.
From that list the Mountain Morph is the best option.

I'm a tight wad, so I adapted ! an old track pump, good volume and arm's not going like a bees wing to pump it.
Removed foot plate, shortened the barrel and strap it to the bars with Velcro .
It's had more use helping others at the trail side than I have ever used it, but it's there for when it's needed.

Yes, according to the Topeak website.“Life has been unfaithful

If this pic shows? You can see it's just a cheap one cut down with a dual head valve.
