Air Pump For Traveling?

Triathlon Forum
1

I am getting ready to fly to a race and after I got everything broken down and into the bike case, there wasn’t any room for my floor pump. I looking for some recommendations for small frame type pump that I can get into the case. I am looking for something that will allow me to pump tires up to 110 to 120 PSI without spending an entire day doing it. Hopefully it would have an accurate guage. Any recommendations??

Also, should I let some of the air out of the tires before putting the bike on the plane?

Any good quality frame pump should be able to get you up to those levels without too too much work, obviously not as easily as a floor pump, but they’ll do the trick.

I’ve always flown with my floor pump though. Especially since I deflate my tires before flight so that they don’t blowout from the pressure.

Topeak Road Morph should work;
