Frame Pump

[Mortiroloboy]

I'm looking to buy a truflo frame pump, following this mornings 4 p*nct*re fest, and the gentle ribbing got about my 'perty little' Specialized mini air tool.

any one know what size I need? they come sized 1 through to 4 my seat tube is 15" and my top tube is 19" both inside frame measurements.

Thanks.

Just turn up at your LBS and get them to sell you the right one - online is not always best.

Failing that you will need a pump somewhere between 15" and 19" long

The Blackburn is S, M or L.

http://www.cyclesportsuk.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=2659 show Zefal sizes.


Online may be easier than I thought. I guess living within 5 miles of the same shop for over 30 years sets me in my ways.

Have you considered the topeak road morph Mortiroloboy? Great quality, and does road pressures very easily.

Zefal HPX size 3 is about 18-20"
Zefal HPX size 2 is about 16-18"
There is a size 1 which would presumably be 14-16"
Truflo HPX is the same as Zefal HPX.

As far as pumping is concerned, the longer the better.
To use a size 3 under the top tube, you would need a pip on the back of the head tube. If there isn't one there, you can use the locking block of a largeish size cable tie round the head tube. Something like a Park instant patch behind the block would avoid paint damage and discourage slipping.

The Topeak road morph is about the same as an HPX2 in terms of easy of use/pressures. It would fit under the top tube using velcro straps.
