I cut the plastic ties off a little shorter and then rounded them on my bench grinder. I ended up moving mine frome my top tube to my down tube between the tube and the tire. There isn't much clearance, but it fits. To keep it from getting gunked up from the tire I put a small umbrella cover that my wife gave me a cover off of one of her small umbrellas. It looks like it came with it on it. This is on my Litespeed that I don't ride if it is rainy and wet, so it stays pretty clean there. The only problem I have is that when I ride my other bike I sometimes forget to move the pump. I know I could buy another one, but I'm frugal.
