MOUNTAIN MORPH

Topeak pumps have always worked well for me. The hose makes it easy to use and minimizes stress on the bike tube’s valve. This pump offers a larger stroke volume for wider mountain bike tires. It is a bit large to carry in a bike jersey pocket, so you will have to lash it to the bike frame instead.

I have had this pump for over two years. I carry it on my bike using the included bolt on attachment. The pump works great, and I feel much better doing long rides having it with me.Besides the pump working as expected, I have to shout out the Topeak support team for probably the best customer service I have ever dealt with. Once, I lost one of the nozzle parts when it came loose during a ride. Then more recently, I was absentmindedly removing the pump and broke the cage mount by pulling the pump at a weird angle. Both times I reached out to the Topeak / Todson customer support email on their website, received prompt responses asking for verification of the missing/damaged part and my address, and both times I received the replacement parts within a few days of me writing. They didn't ask me to cover any replacement fees or shipping even. Can't say how much this means.I will be a long time Topeak customer due to interactions like these.

I haven't had the misfortune to have to use this pump yet but it's nice knowing that I have it on board. It's one of the largest frame pumps available and it's heavy at almost 9 ounces. But if you're still running old school tires with tubes, it's a must-have. Topeak has made the Morph as compact as possible given its abnormal girth. They've integrated a fold-away handle and a fold-out foot pad. Unfortunately, the foot-pad feels like a flimsy afterthought, but I have high hopes for the handle. The included mounting options are what makes this pump really shine. The hole pattern on the pump cradle was a perfect match to my fork braze-ons. The pump cradle can also be tie-wrapped to a frame member. The package includes the screws or the tie-wraps for either option. The Velcro strap ensures the pump should stay in place if a cradle clamp explodes. It's obvious the pump's cradle design has been optimized for horizontal mounting. Given my frame limitations, I had to mount mine vertically... like I said, the verdict is still out.

I needed a pump to take with me on long rides climbing up some hills in my area. On the route I take, there’s a bunch of pot holes and thorns from some desert plants. I’ve had to use this pump multiple times after changing my tubes on various occasions of getting flats. It’s portable and I hang it on the side of my fork using the ziptie hanging system they included. The pump is fairly big, but I like that since it’s easier to inflate the tube each time you press down on the pump. Overall, it’s easy to use, it looks great, and you get good value for the price you pay.

After my previous pump finally gave out after 20+ years I researched various reviews and decided to get this pump. It's important to understand that if you go to the Topeak website there are 2 versions of this pump that look the same. The one I purchased is the mountain bike "high volume" pump. If you are into road biking you want to get the "high pressure" version of this pump with the guage.Even though this pump is 3 inches longer and a little heavier than my previous pump it fits into my Camelbak with ease. There are many advantages to getting this type of pump: it gives you a true floor pump power and stability aspect and having a flexible hose after the pump cylinder helps ease the chance of damaging your valve stem. I'm extremely happy with this purchase!!

The first time I used this pump was on a recent vacation. I planned on buying a cheap thrift store bike. I saw one I really liked but it had two flats and one valve stem was inaccessible inside the tire. So I got the valve stem squared away and pumped both tires to 50 psi. After 15 minutes they were still holding pressure so I bought the bike and rode away on it. The pump worked really well when I sat down and braced the bottom against my leg and did a pulling motion using my biceps. I noticed no difference in air flow between this pump and my normal floor pump. The little lock / release lever works in the exact opposite manner of my floor pump. So that had to be kept in mind.

Topeak makes great bike pumps, I have had various compact models like this, shock pump and floor models, they all do what they are designed to do. I used an amazon offset bracket to mount it next to water bottle holder on my mokwheel obsidian. Combined with a patch kit, you should be able to make it home, it’s also efficient enough to use on the regular to maintain tire pressures. The models with the inline pressure gauge might be worth it for the sake of convenience.

I’ve been using this pump now for 8 months, and it’s still working perfectly. I use it on a 29” unicycle; I don’t have any frame space to mount the pump, so I carry it in (or on) a backpack. I’ve used it to inflate both 2” and 3” wide tires (and once to top off a car tire). Starting with a tube just inflated enough to hold its shape, it takes 180 pumps to get to 25psi in the 3” wide tire, and 215 pumps to take the 2” wide tire up to 55psi.I change over between the two types of tire fairly often, and always use this pump to re-inflate, plus I’ve had a few flats. So the pump has seen a good bit of use: probably more than the designers intended. It has held up admirably.The only downside I see is it is a tad larger than other frame-mounted-type pumps. This doesn’t bother me, especially since it’s my main-use pump, too.Given its higher volume delivery, it does take a good bit more effort to pump above 50psi, but it’ll do it. This also doesn’t bother me.I’ve used four cheaper pumps so far, and hated all but one of them, and that one broke. I like this one a lot.
