My Joe Blow is relatively light. Maybe check the weight of some other inexpensive floor pumps? OTOH, how often will you have to pump up?

the lezyne travel pump probably makes sense for such a purpose:

I'd recommend a Topeak Road Morph, mounted to your frame. It takes more strokes than a floor pump, of course, but it works quickly and has a gauge.

That looks perfect!

Most of the time when I travel with my coupled road bike, all I bring is a Topeak Road Morph G. It takes about 120-140 strokes to get a 23mm clincher up to 100psi, but the thing fits on my frame (and, more importantly, fits in my luggage) and I only need to top off the tires if I'm riding more than 3 or 4 days.

That looks just the slightest bit more appropriate for the task at hand. I wonder how the two compare -- not regarding on-the-bike emergency roadside inflation, but rather for at-home fullsize floor pump substitute duty?

Im hoping it will replace the pump at home too. The wife will be happy if it does.

Shall see how much effort it takes for my current lower pressure high volume bike...

I have the Lezyne travel pump. I keep it in my truck when I'm not traveling so I can help a fellow cyclist in need.

If you have tubes with removable cores make sure you have a valve core tool to snug the core or the Lezyne head will unscrew the core occasionally.

I have no problems pumping Mountain or Road tires with the travel pump.

I normally ride with a frame pump. so when I travel, I just bring a Topeak digital pressure gauge; packs very light/small. this model allows you to bleed air off to get it exactly where you want it. so I'll just over-pump the tire with the frame pump, then bleed it to where I want it with the gauge. takes a little longer than a floor pump, but usually this is on vacation so there's ample time and really you only need to do it every couple rides or so anyway.

Bontrager makes a $30 travel pump. Latest Bicycling magazine has a blurb about it.

It is a little better than a small hand pump, and takes less effort overall. It is pretty big, and while it attaches to a bike it is not something id consider unless no other option. The road morph is pretty similar, i think, but it has been awhile since ive used it.

It definitely wont replace a floor pump.
