the Morph is good. The little fold-down stand is a bit fragile, but you can't argue with 120psi out of something that smallAre these any good? I can't be bothered to keep taking the pump off my commuter and would rather add another to my road bike. Halfords is just down the road and is doing 3 for 2 on accessories so I can pick up a wedge bag too before choosing a freebie

Thanks - I'm hoping never to have to use it 
I have a co2 cartridge for the commuter but that's really for dire emergencies i.e. getting to work on time.

I have the Topeak Pocket Rocket, 100psi fairly easily. It's the best mini pump I have owned.
I used to carry a Co2 till I ended up having to limp home with the rim bottoming on the ground and three spent cartridges in my pocket. Those things lose their power in the cold weather.

bought a road morph to try and now own two road morphs and a mountain morph...guess you could say I was impressed, I like the ones with the gage which I find pretty accurate.
The footplate isn't the strongest but that's apparent just setting it up so you just use it accordingly, go after it like a madman and it will break.

Topeak Minimorph is good for ~100 psi in the real world by the road too, and is more mini (Duh!). The Halfords/Bikehut version is about the same price and has some advantages, e.g. metal foot bit, more hose. but I haven't actually tested the achievable real world pereformance myself (although ColinJ also of this parish has one too.).
On the Topeak front, when I lost the handle because it'd unscrewed they sent a replacement no questions asked. In the mean time I'd bought the Halfords version to use which is now on the commuter.
FWIW, I've not used the foot peg at all, but the ability to pump 'against the ground' makes high pressures acheivable for weedy upper body types like me, and the hose also means no more aching hands from hooking spokes with fingers while pumping, or snapped valve cores from slipping etc.
