Is this pump still our club tested and approved frame mounted pump?
Per nine other threads and the TOS it is, but my four year old Morph recently overheated and melted a seal. Are there newer models out there, or is this still our "old reliable"?

Side note, if they're club approved and you wanted to get another, albeit a used model, i have one for $5 + a Diet Coke. It doesn't have the mounting bracket for the bike but I'd assume the one you have would work with it.

I don' know about club approved but I know that Rogelio uses the Lezyne micro floor drive, there are 2 versions:

mine has also succumbed to overheating and needs either an overhaul or replacement. I'm not loyal, if there is a better one I'll get it. I used Rojelio's Lyzene, it was pretty slick.

I enjoy me a Road Morph but it's too fragile for my usage style; I've broken a quite a few Morphs by ripping off/crushing/just-losing the plastic bits. I tried the pressure gauged Lezyne pump and have been pleasantly surprised by how long it's lasted, with some minor maintenance, besides it's cromulence in filling up my tubes.
The aluminum base and hinges are solid if a bit misshapen after years of use. The footstand is bent steel with a little rubber liner at the end in contrast to the ever snapped off one on road morphs. The plastic parts are at the shaft seal and at the rubber hose connections, but the the main hose swivel into the body is also metal. I *have* worn off some of the markings on the pressure gauge, but that's after quite a few years of use, and I just reapply them with a sharpie: this was not an issue until year 3-4 of being tossed into a messenger bag.
Fedora tip to George for letting me know that there's a high volume version as pumping up my 40's to 90psi, or my 29" knobbies, kills me every time; does high pressure 20/30's just fiiiiiiiiine.

I rock the similar model but from serfas. It has a metal foot lever rather than plastic and a grip with much much more girth.

I switched to this shitty Planet Bike pump:
It is sufficient but not great at actually being a pump but look how nice it fits! Before, all that in-between-the-seat-tube-and-fender-real-estate was being wasted.
Pros - cheap, light, compact, nice mounting bracket, fits!
Cons - no gauge, low volume, no foot peg
Overall assessment: Not recommended (unless it fits! then highly recommended.)

I liked my Morph, but I'm going to try Ro's pump this round because the Morph did hurt to use after 2 tire refills.
