Amazon.com Product Description
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.

 A 'let's keep going harder' pump February 20, 2010
Beinan Dai (Virginia, USA)
I've tried a few frame pumps in the past, ranging from $20 - $50 and one of them from Topeak too. The magic of this pump lies in its ability to connect to the tire while leveling this on the ground to use your whole body weight. I was very skeptical when I read this could reach 100+ psi, because on the box/label of all the past hand/frame pumps I've tried it said the same. "Capable of reaching 120 PSI..." something to that effect, keyword there is capable.
When I first got the Road Morph G (g stands for gauge, took me a while to figure it out b/c no where on Topeak's site does it differentiate), I tested it out on my 700x23 road tire by deflating it and pumping it back up. After about 50-60 pumps or so, as it doesn't get very hard until it reaches 70psi on the little gauge, I can tell this pump is different. I consider myself above average strength for my weight, but it really shouldn't matter if you use your one arm and bending your knees properly to use your body weight to push down. As other testers have said, the flip out foot stand feels very flimsy and I wouldn't be surprised if that broke one day, however, it works very well so far. It does get considerably harder after it hits 90psi according to the hose gauge, and I kept going 'til it was between 100 and 120 on the reading, skeptical of the reading I plugged in my floor pump and it read 105psi. Wow, I was impressed.
I didn't find the lack of instructions a set back, mainly b/c I have prior exposure to it. I can see how it would confuse most beginners, especially the part about switching b/t presta and schradder valves, seasoned veterans need not worry as it's no different from any other pump. The mounting brackets was not as flexible as Topeak's other pumps, as it does not offer a mount with your bottle cage (your bottle cage and the pump takes one mount, so you still get 2 bottle storage). I just used the velcro straps and mounted it on the top tube, so far, so good.
The first time I had to use this, I was about 10 miles in on a Saturday morning ride, and had a leak in my front tire. Other times before, the pumps were only good as a 'get me home' pump, with the Topeak Morph, it's in a class of its own, it's a 'let's keep going harder' pump. This will be on the frame of all future road bikes I own, when I go mountain, you can count on that the mountain morph will be the top choice. Hope this helps!
Excellent pump. Only one I need! February 19, 2010
Judith F. Kapoun (Alexandria, IN United States)
I have been cycling for about five months now and this is the pump for me. I realize I haven't tried that many different pumps, but I am incredibly happy with this pump. I am on a very strict budget (terrible for a cyclist), and as a result, this is the only pump I have. I don't have a floor pump for a presta valve, this pump does it every time, and i have yet to complain. The price is very competitive, it looks good, the quality of construction leaves nothing for want. the only problem is that there is no manual. i had to google the pump once i got it to figure out how to use it on my friend's schrader valve tube. still a great buy
Simple February 11, 2010

It is clearly shown on the back of the box how to convert to Schraeder or Presta valve and it is very simple!
Amazing and Durable January 16, 2010
BioFlamingo
I purchased this pump a little over a year ago. Since then I have used it on AT LEAST one tire a day. Many times I would go through my entire fleet and air all the tires up within the same hour. The pump gets warm, but not hot like some pumps do. This pump has held up great. My last mini pump had issues getting over 90 pounds into a tire and the foot rest broke off the first time I used it. This pump will put well over 90 pounds in and the foot rest is still as good as new. Very durable pump.
It works flawlessly on both types of valves. Takes less than 20 seconds to change to the opposite style of valve. It fits both valves snugly and securely. I keep this pump attached to my commuter at all times and it has never bounced out of its bracket. It's light weight, so I don't even notice it being there.
The only negative I have is that on rare occasions the pressure gauge will stick until you put another 5 pounds or so in. This is a minor inconvenience at most, so it doesn't affect my 5 star rating.
Over all, this is an amazing pump. So amazing that I ordered 2 more today. You can't go wrong with this pump.
 Would not work with regular "Schrader" valves December 28, 2009
Mr. Andrew R. Mandel Esq (Brooklyn, NY United States)

Before use, the tip of this pump must be configured for one of 2 types of bicycle tire valves, the Presta valve or the Schrader valve. The Schrader valve is used on many ordinary, everyday bicycles and it is just like the valve on an automobile tire. Like the reviewers above, I tried to assemble the pump but ended up having to call the manufacturer's customer service center to discover that parts were missing. The parts were sent and I assembled the pump as directed with customer service on the line. The pump is useless for Schrader valves. The metal collar of the pump tip is just narrow enough that it keeps it from fitting properly over the top of the valve stem and will not allow it to go deeply enough to push in the pin and allow air into the tire. As if that is not bad enough, it doesn't want to let go of the valve stem either and I nearly broke both the pump and valve getting it off. Maybe it works in Presta valves, I don't know.
