Securing pump to bottle cage
Has anyone seen anything that allows for a small pump to be secured using the bottle cage screws but in a low profile? I see plenty of devices that allow for both the bottle cage and pump to be secured using the frame screws, but nothing that solely focuses on just the pump.
I run a single bottle only and want to leverage the second bottle location for a pump only and all the accessories I find try to accomplish both pushing the pump off to the side. Anything out there that simply mounts the pump to the bottle cage location parallel with the bike frame? (Like the bottle would be if used for a water bottle)

Crazy how hard it is to find a basic mount that replaces the water bottle and keeps the pump in line with the bike rather than holding it out to the side.

Thanks, looks like I can get the Topeak Road Morph bracket to accomplish what I am looking for... Hard to find true dimensions though to ensure it will fit my pump as it is made for Topeak's pump.

The closest thing I could find was a bracket made for the Morph, however that is for a pump with a 1" diameter.

The Road Morph comes with that center mount bracket in the box. I have 3 of them I'm not using. I had to buy the side winder bottle cage mount that I prefer individually from Topeak. Topeak has good customer service BTW, you can call the company and they will charge you a small fee for the bracket you desire.

I hate to ask you to hold my hand for me... but do you mind linking me a center mount bracket for a pump with a 2" diameter? I went to the link you provided but do not see brackets.

To the OP.
Did your pump come with a mounting bracket? If so can you not drill new holes so it can mount in the center and then you can cut off the unwanted section?
Cheers

The pump arrived today, and not sure why I did not think of this earlier .. but while the manufacture said " 2 inch diameter" it is really .63 inches (~16.18mm). They listed the circumference as the diameter, and if I were paying attention I would of realized a 2" diameter would be a ridiculous pump. So I think this also helps a lot in that the mini morph bracket from Topek looks like it will now fit pretty good. They sell these bracket kits super cheap to.
