Topeak: Topeak Road Morph G Bike Pump with Gauge
Topeak Road Morph G Bike Pump with Gauge. Every dedicated cyclist needs a good portable pump for his or her training rides. However, many on-the-go pumps are somewhat clunky and not all that easy to use. Enter the Topeak Road Morph G, which packs floor pump efficiency and ease of use into a compact, portable design you can bring along for the ride. The Road Morph G boasts a clever foldout footpad that stabilizes the pump against the ground rather than your hand, creating a comfortable, efficient pumping motion. Plus, the pump's flexible air hose makes it easy to work with awkward or tight valve placements while also helping prevent valve stem damage. Other features include an extra-long barrel, an inline gauge, a secure mounting bracket, a Presta/Schrader head, and a plastic thumb lock. The Road Morph G measures 2.2 by 13.8 by 1.1 inches (W x H x D) and weighs 0.49 pounds.

Topeak: Topeak Joe Blow Sport II Floor Pump
Topeak Joe Blow Sport II Floor Pump. This Joe Sport II pumped replaces the original Sport pump and the only difference I see is the metal air footing on this II model versus the plastic footing on the original plus this is slightly taller. It's very sturdy after a month of usage with only one problem--the presta side leaked air even though it was locked. I managed to fix it by reinserting a Schrader valve on the other side and the pump worked well again. Overall it's very sturdy with good balance and a thick stem and valve.
This pump could be improved if the gauge is higher for easier viewing plus some kind of compartment to store the included accessories (needle and cone tips).
This pump has also been used on longer presta valves with no problems and the Schrader side has worked flawlessly.

Topeak: Topeak JoeBlow Max II Floor Bike Pump
Topeak JoeBlow Max II Floor Bike Pump. The Presta valve side of the twin head does not work properly with short stemmed Presta valves. It seems that the pump nozzle has difficulty in forming a good seal with short stemmed Presta valves. The pump will only pump up to around 75 PSI into the tire/tube. Pressures beyond 75 PSI appear to "seal" the valve, which prevents further tire/tube inflation. The extra pressure just pressurizes the pump hose only!
