Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Mounting Mini Pumps

Hey guys, how do you mount your mini pump on your bike frame, and why?

And photos of it?

Now that I live in the country with clean roads and never get flats I just carry Co2, but when I lived in the city I mounted mine on the rear bottle cage. And someone shoot me for selling a Rossin EL/OS.

Mine's next to the downtube bottle cage. If your pump didn't come with the right holder, your bike shop probably has a box of them.

+2 for mounting it on the downtube next to the bottle cage but it really comes down to personal preference to me.

Next to the bottle cage mounts, on the seat tube - more out of the way, and less likely to be in the way of my feet.

Blackburn air stick.

6 1/4" long- fits in the seat bag.

You can even pump a tire up with it with no more struggle than the others.

Jersey pocket for me - I have one of these:

Topeak® Cycling Accessories ? Products - Micro Rocket CB

no problem pumping a tire up to ~120psi with it.

Ditto, best place for the pump in my opinion. Except for my commuter bike I guess, on that I put it in the main trunk bag so that I'm not leaving anything attached to the bike when I lock the bike up outside.
