I had two side-mount mini-pump holders in my parts box. Well, no, one was on a bike. I tried to insert my Road Morph G into it before I realized the diameter of the pump was too large, and it broke the too-small holder. I had another in my parts box and it's way too big - the Road Morph G falls right out of it.
I guess I thought these things would be standardized but perhaps every mini-pump manufacturer makes them in whatever diameter they want to?
I would appreciate a link to the correct side-mount holder for a Road Morph G if anyone knows. Thanks.

I bought mine directly from the Topeak website. I believe that the Mini Morph, and the Road Morph, share the same size barrel. Best to ck with Topeak Cust Serv to be sure.l

[MENTION=27981]Wanderer[/MENTION]: thanks. I didn't know they sold direct. I still shop in brick and mortar stores FAR more often than online, but the answer is always, "no, but we can order you one."
I'm grateful for your advice and will try to figure out how to order one and get my second bottle cage back!
Despite the strange mount, the Road Morph G worked really well the few times I've had to use it when I was away from home and my floor pump.

It's bizarre and frustrating. It actually works fine with a beside-the-cage mount - but one isn't included. I called Topeak and payed to order one and they sent it to me. I've read of other people ordering them elsewhere (though as soon as there's a source it seems like they discontinue it).
It can be done though. That's how it's set up on my mountain bike - a beside-the-cage mount like any other pump.
P.S. I have the road morph, not the mountain morph, not sure if it makes a difference. I think they're the same length but the mountain morph is a little thicker.

i have the topeak mini morph and have it mounted to my frame. it's a great little pump, it's worked for me twice so far, but yeah, like others have a pump at home and at work so i usually use those.

Another fan of the Topeak Road Morph. However, I agree with others that mounting options are limited. Fortunately I have two touring bike with 3 bottle cage mounts, so I attach the Road Morph under the down tube on those bikes since I don't need 3 bottle cages. I'm glad to hear that Topeak makes a mount that attaches to the side of bottle cages as well, and I'll probably order at least one. I have been strapping a mount under the top tube with zip ties, but I don't like carrying the pump in that location because it sometimes hits my legs when pedaling.
BTW, Topeak also sells a Road MasterBlaster full size pump, and I've got one of those as well. I haven't actually used it yet, but it fits my frames well and looks nice -- although I wish they had a black version in addition to silver.

Here you go, direct from Todson (Topeak) a side water bottle pump mount for the Road Morph.
TPD-2C - WB Bracket for Road Morph, Peak DX, MT Rocket, Harpoon, Mini ? Todson
$6, and if I remember correctly, they don't even charge for shipping......

Those long skinny frame mount pumps are where it's at. The lil guys are compact and lightweight, but they can't really do over 80 psi in my experience.
Maybe hook two in parallel using a Y joiner and see if that works?
