Review on 🔝 High-Performance LEZYNE HP Hand Pump by Jeff Kersey

I'm tired of the design flaws of the famous Topeak Road Morph G, a fantastic pump with a very nasty habit of dropping the valve retaining ring and leaving you stuck with a flat tire you can't pump. So the second time this happened (and both times in the rain to compound the injury) I jumped overboard. I chose HP Drive because I now have a suitable floor pump (Topeak Joe Blow Sport II floor pump) for ventilation. Cycling at home, so this pump is only needed for refueling on tour or at apartments. I used it once and the tire pressure was lower than I expected based on the reviews I read. It takes more strokes (of course) than the larger Road Morph and is more cumbersome to use, but more importantly it's just as effective: the short flexible hose prevents you from directly applying pressure to the valve stem and solid mechanism. calming. I love that it's small enough to throw in the trunk or front pocket (Road Morph didn't fit), but now I've mounted it to the frame and it's fine. An added benefit is that the mounting bracket is offset so I can now have two bottle cages in the Diamond. The packaging method is quite elegant without compromising the mechanical properties. The short hose is tucked inside and has metal threads on both ends. Depending on your valve stem type, you attach the other end to the pump and thread it onto the stem and then pump it out. Everything is very solid. Happy with the choice. I don't have enough flats to justify the size of the Road Morph, especially when I have to worry about it not working when I need it. The HP Drive is understated but sturdy, and I didn't see anything that made me worry it wouldn't work when I need it.
