Comments about Topeak Road Master Blaster Frame Fit Pump:

Folks, this is a frame pump. It fits between either the head tube and seat tube, if you have a pump peg on your head tube, or between the top tube and the down tube if you don't have a bottle mount on your seat tube. If you don't have a pump peg on your head tube, or don't know what any of that is, you shouldn't use this pump -- you should stick to CO2 or a mini-pump mounted somewhere to your frame. You can also make this work with a "strap-on" pump peg, which you would attach to the front of your top tube.

This point is important: There is a spring in the handle of this pump that allows it to squish down to the right size to fit between your frame tubes. It compresses 6 cm, or 2 3/8 inches, to allow you to fit it between the tubes. YOU MUST measure the distance between the two tubes you wish to fit this pump into, then purchase the correct size.

Only improvement would be to include a gauge somewhere, but that would also detract from the simplicity of this pump.

I've had this pump on my road bike since 2007, about 6,000 miles worth of riding, and it has fixed a dozen flats easily and a lot quicker than any mini-pump (it moves a lot of air!). Don't get this if your frame doesn't have a pump peg, or if you don't want to invest in an accessory pump peg, or if it won't fit on your bike between the bottom of your top tube and the down tube. Any complaint about fit or slipping out is invalid and is to be blamed on the ignorance and lack of academic rigor of the complainant. Plain and simple.

Comments about Topeak Road Master Blaster Frame Fit Pump:

Full size frame pumps just make sense to anyone who has ever struggled with a mini-pump or run short of CO2 cartridges just when you need it most. But if you're looking at this pump you probably already know that. Mine has seen extensive use for nearly 10 years without a problem- it works as well and as easily as the floor pump in my shop. You really can't ask for more than that- I have a more expensive Blackburn HXP too, the Topeak works just as well. It's too bad that the little pump pegs that used to be standard on steel frames have become extinct. However, there is an easy solution to avoid using the ugly velcro wraparound strap. Just cut a little square of velcro tape (available at any hardware, craft or fabric store) and stick the fuzzy side to the end of the pump handle, and stick a little square of the hook side to the top of the seat tube just under the top tube. This is a very secure mounting- I've never had the pump slip and the velcro is concealed when the pump is mounted, and just a little black square is visible without the pump. You probably can also just cut the velcro strap that comes with the pump and glue it on with some silicone glue that won't harm your paint. But the adhesive that comes with velcro strips holds really well- mine has lasted for years without slipping. Works like a charm- even on my MTB and cross bike on trails and rough gravel roads. If vanity requires, you can also spray paint this thing to match your frame like the old colored Silcas from the age of dinosaurs (this is functionally a much better pump) So now you have one less excuse not to get a decent full size frame pump. No more tricep workouts from the mini, no more CO2 throwaways, one less thing to forget to put in your pocket. And having a frame pump means you make friends fast on a group ride- from everyone who has a mini or CO2 that want to borrow it when they get a flat (the Topeak will inflate both Presta and Schraeder by reversing the rubber gasket, though not as convenient as some pumps with 2 heads). I can remove a wheel, replace a tube and inflate in less than 150 seconds using a frame pump (my team mates timed me on a bet once). Nice to know when the group is up the road leaving you for dead :-) Oh, and one last thing- other comments have mentioned the lack of a pressure gauge. NO pressure gauge on a mini or frame pump is going to be very reliable. If you're that concerned about the number you need to use a (good) floor/shop pump- although most of those aren't really calibrated either. Get a separate pressure gauge in your box of tools no matter what pump you use if your really need accuracy. I just use my thumb.

Comments about Topeak Road Master Blaster Frame Fit Pump:

I got this pump last night. From all I heard about it I was excited to get a good hand pump. I got a flat this morning ridding to work. Went to change out the tube and when i went to take if off the valve it would not come off when i pulled it took the whole valve with it. Destroying the tube. It did the same thing to the second one that I installed a few minutes later. So I have to call my wife to drive me to work! Dont know if the presta valve on this pump would work better but the shader valve is a no go!!

Comments about Topeak Road Master Blaster Frame Fit Pump:

I have had one flat in 3000 miles. The pump was easy to use and high pressure. However, the pump handle has scratched my beautiful bike. The handle is made of a hard plastic unlike the pump end. I am using some Broccoli bands to buffer the handle from the bike tube.

Comments about Topeak Road Master Blaster Frame Fit Pump:

It is a good pump but, as another reviewer mentions, the cheap strap and the plastic handle mean it really doesn't stay firmly seated to the frame. A pump that sells itself as a "frame fit pump" better fit to and stay attached to your frame, and this one doesn't.

Comments about Topeak Road Master Blaster Frame Fit Pump:

This thing ROCKS. I purchased it in 2004 after going through 3 other faulty pumps. Luckily I had it during my coast to coast tour that summer. I used it all the time and eventually toured coast to coast in 2007... Probably had upwards of 20 flat tires. I was a leader on the trip so I had to fix other people's flats as well. Couldn't have done it without the Master Blaster. Unfortunately I lost it (or someone stole it since it works so magnificently) and am in the business of buying a new one. Gotta be this one again!

Comments about Topeak Road Master Blaster Frame Fit Pump:

This pump is essentially a copy of the legendary Zefal HPX frame fit pump. The Zefal is very hard to find and is quite expensive. This performs just as well and is outstanding. I'm very happy with it. Full length shaft and the switch on the handle (from compression mode to pump mode) makes it easy to get very high pressure over 100psi.[...]

Comments about Topeak Road Master Blaster Frame Fit Pump:

The pump moves air very well, much better than mini pumps. It has no guage so I can't comment on how precise it is. I gave it four stars because of the handle. Specifically, the valve end of the pump is made of a rubber material that sticks nicely in the junction of seat tube and top tube. The handle is made of hard plastic, which means it slides downward from the junction of the top tube and head tube toward the junction of the head tube and the down tube. Yes, the included strap helps keep it in place but the strap makes taking it on and off the frame more of a pain in the neck. If the handle were made of the same rubber material as the valve end, it would feel more secure on the frame, you might not need the strap at all and you wouldn't have to worry that the handle will scatch your paint. Other than that, its a good quality pump.
