Can you buy a bottle cage/pump clamp after market, or does it have to come w/ your pump?

I have never seen them but check with some local LBS's. Sometimes they have old parts laying about or might have an defective pump and they might be willing to sell the bracket to you.

If all else fails, you can get some of these velcro cable organizers (http://www.sealenterprises.com/detail.asp?sku=5430194). Think removable zip tie. You can find them locally at HomedepoLowe's or some kind of organizing stuff store.

Jandd makes velcro straps for mounting pumps to frame tubes. They have an integral pad that goes between the pump and frame.

I was rather annoyed with the mount that came with my Road Morph... you have to either zip tie it to the top tube, or replace a water bottle cage with the mount. While going through things during my recent move, I found the mount from an old pump (Which I broke a few months ago) that mounted under the water bottle cage and held the pump off to the side, tried it, and it was the right size for my Road Morph! :) :) :)

I'm so glad I didn't throw out that 'useless' part when I got a new pump!

That's exactly what I was hoping to find; I had one, lost it, presume it tossed, find it apparently unreplaceable. Grrr...

I'd check Walmart, K-Mart, and target. Look for a really cheap pump that looks like it's the same size. The original pump this mount came off of cost me $7 at Walmart. :)

I went looking, actually found the one I had saved, lo these many years ago, only to discover that the dog had chewed it into unusability.

Same here. That extra mount I had came with a smaller Topeak pump. I don't understand why Topeak doesn't this mount with the Morph.
