what is wrong with you ? why would i do something like that ? i didn't want to have the pump not centered. i wanted it perfect. it would have been perfect if i managed to drill that hole but it turned out too hard.
and don't give me sh1t about how the pump is designed to fit around the cable - what a joke. that pump isn't designed for sh1t. it's just a piece of filth.
and the whole idea that i need to THINK how to install a pump to me is insane. should i also think about how to tie my shoelaces ? it should have been designed to JUST FIT without any thinking.
sure if my life depended on it i could go to the store get another one and mount it one way or the other - but why ? i already know its garbage - why would i get it again ?
the whole topeak brand to me reminds of oxo good grips utensils and simply human waste baskets. i wouldn't be surrpised if its actually made by the same company. they should stick to waste bins.
