portable air pump Q

Looking to get a mini air pump like the Topeak mt morpf, but I need a seat post mounted bracket for one. I ride fsr so top tube mount isn't going to happen. As for the seat post mount I want it secure with out chaffing up my seat post.
Any links or ideas would be much thankfull.

can't you put the pump in your pack, or do you ride without a pack?

i think the best mini pump out there is the lezyne. a little more expensive, but totally worth every penny.

I ride with a hydropack with no pockets, I put trail essentials in a seat bag. I could use co2 I guess, but really interested in a mini pump.

Perhaps put the pump in there with the bladder.

I have the pump mount zip-tied to the handlebar - it sits rather nicely sort of in between the brake lever clamps. I usually don't carry a pack and the pump stays cleaner in that position, as opposed to down lower on the frame.

I would get a bigger pack before I went and looked for a special pump. FWIW, I like the Mountain Morph a lot, but can't remember what the mount looks like. I think the mount is on my road bike. Might be a ziptie mount.
