Is it possible to fit a frame pump on Spec '07 roubaix
Or are the only options to mount a mini pump to the water cage bolts or do I stick it in my jersey?
I'm new to carbon frames
thanks

Mounting a pump to a carbon frame isn't as elegant as it is with the old steel frames. I use the water bottle cage mount style, I don't like the looks of it, but it does work. It will need to be a small pump to fit into your jersey, mine feels like it'll fall out.

I saw a bike a while back with a frame pump mounted parallel to the non-drive side seat stay. The top end was wedged in where the stays meet the seat tube, and the bottom end was wedged in at the dropout. Won't work with all frames, but it worked on that one. Seemed kinda like a disaster waiting to happen though.

Carbon frames are for people who use CO2 or a pump small enough to fit in a pocket.
