Travel with track pump?

    I'm going away to Portugal on Friday for a few days and bringing the road bike with me. In the past I've always travelled with the mountain bike and brought a hand pump which was fine for the 30psi or so needed in my MTB tyres. It's a fairly decent pump but I've just tried and there's no way I can get 125 psi into my road tyres with it! Would you guys normally put a track pump into your bike bags or how do you manage?

    Topeak Morph. Mini trackpump, clips onto your frame and theoretically gets 140psi in a minute or so.

    I like the Zefal HPX. It clips into the frame (spring held in between the top tube and the bottom bracket) and its good for 120psi.

    Reasons why:

    Light
    Clips into the frame
    Totally metal construction
    Every part is replaceable.
    120psi easily achievable

    Yep .... think I'll just throw in the track pump! The Blackthorn hand pump I have is supposed to be good for 140 psi but I can't get it anywhere close to 100psi! You end up hanging out of the valve stem too!
