Bicycle Frame Pumps
for Road Bikes
at Yellow Jersey

The overwhelmingly best and dominant road pump design since 1974 is the Zefal HPX.
Well, in 1974 it was still called Zéfal HP but it was largely the same.

Why do we like these so? It's hard to stop, the list is so long! Here it is:

the one

Compared to our well loved but tempermental Silcas of the era, it was a big breakthrough.
Zefal HP Frame Pump

Seamless all aluminum body

Seamless is nice.

These are also skinny!

Right. Skinny = easy stroke at high pressure

leak-proof end seal

easily replaced metal head

all-metal head

no plastic

check valve inside the retaining screw

Yes a steel retaining screw

no plastic

big easy to turn metal cover plate

it isn't plastic

nylon faces on head and handle

good place for nylon

beefy tight seals

express head design simple

And that was in 1974! The first model was an express type which means you simply push it over a presta valve. Soon Zefal had improved it with a clever chromed aluminum locking lever system. The inner sleeve has a positive O-ring seal and so just a light flip of the lever locks the seal washer tightly to your valve. With that change, Zefal also made a Schrader valve optional washer kit available. By then, the pump had lost its distinctivey Gallic red-white-blue handgrip on a shiny barrel for a simple natural matté aluminum finish with black grip.Continual improvements brought us to the current design

Later Zefal HPX improvements

reversible Schrader-Presta design fits all valves

Right, no need to carry extra pieces

field-strips with no tools

frame-shaped handle obviates dreaded pump clips

yet still fits classic umbrella or peg clips if you are so inclined

replaceable nylon end "wings" save your finish

three sizes fit darn near all bikes

lockout in handle pumps easier

Although once available in colors, the current model is black only. A simple twist of the handle locks out the spring ( What spring? The one that keeps it from falling off your bike.) So? Locking out the handle spring means you don't push against that spring while pumping. Much easier- try it!. This photo shows the Zefal HPX fitted in a frame. They go along top tubes or seat tubes. You'll see them along tandem "boob" tubes. Some riders tuck them between rear frame end and seat cluster. Experiment!

The silver pump in the top photo is Topeak's Road Master Blaster. It's the same price and pumps equally well. Zefal spare parts for classic model are no longer available . Topeaks work and some riders don't care for black. Choice is good.

yes, the one
Pump clips hold moisture againast your bike's finish. No more clips!
