well that's a philosophical question ...

i know. but the alternative ( road ) i like even less.

i will replace everything - clothes and pedals. i just didn't get around to do it yet.

there is nothing wrong with the road, i live the most conjested state, you get used to it.

by the way, how old are you?

Then get a damn comfort bike and slow the **** down. If you aren't willing to ride on the ROAD, then sell your ROAD bike. MUPs exist for... multiple uses. Amazing how that works, isn't it? They aren't for you to push 20mph in the drops, and if you're not doing that, you don't need to be concerned with aerodynamics.

what are we, in the 80's? forget about a frame-mounted pump. get a mini pump that fits in your jersey pocket or roll with co2.

OT: Neurosport, i feel like i know you from somewhere, but not sure where. the fact that you are from the bay and mention stevens creek/los gatos seems to confirm my suspicions. where did you go for highschool/college?

hahaha not at all, you will pass me all day long, i am a slow rider, i use cycling for crosstraining

hm i have a cable going under the top tube that is almost in the middle. that's why i couldn't mount the morph there using the plastic zip things.

u think i could mount some other pump there ? that would be aerodynamically preferable to side mounting.

i'm going to be 29 this month.

yes theres nothing wrong with roads - until you get killed.

look i have friends that will get so drunk they can't walk, then they will get in their BMW, get on a busy street and hit 120 miles per hour on it without even looking ( literally ) where they're going.

you know FAITH is believing what you know ain't so. you can believe that all drivers are responsible if you want.

what kind of job do you have? sorry, this is not 20 questions, but i must know

the drunk is still the idiot, you would just be unlucky

Your bottlecage bolts are not a unique and special snowflake. Barring substitution of aftermarket bolts, they are all the same size, and your bike is not special or unique enough to need different size bolts. I call bullsh*t. You apparently just don't understand how to install a frame mount pump that thousands of other people install and use without issue. If you got a defective mount, then contact the manufacturer. Saying all Topeak products are trash because you are too lazy to verify if you have a defective mount or not is lazy and small-minded.

So you ride with street clothes and basketball shoes, you are deathly afraid of riding on roads where a CO2 cartridge might maim you, and you think you are benefiting at all from aerodynamics? You are hysterical. Rarely can you even get over 15mph on stevens creek or los gatos creek trail unless you happen to be out at an unusual hour. I doubt you can even sustain over 20mph with that highly non-aero bike you have, especially since you can only use half your pedalstroke, your basketball kit flapping in the breeze.

Really you almost get rational, and then you completely go off the deep end by wrapping an entire box of tin foil around your head, claim you are something special and unique with higher standards of perfection than anyone else. Get over yourself.

:rolleyes:

The mount has a space for the cable, I can use my back brake without any hindrance, as the cable is protected by the mount itself, and thus the zip ties can't even compress that cable. You just confirmed you were unable to figure out how to install the mounting bracket.

Best just hide in your house, then. You risk your life every day in any number of ways. You have no problems driving your car, but you are scared of traffic on the roads? Why do you even bother cycling if you hate everything to do with it, hate all the gear used for it, and hate riding anywhere except two boring MUP's crowded with obstacles.

Find another hobby, you obviously are unequal to the task of learning this sport.

I have a suspicion that NEUROSPORT is the most dedicated troll ever. I mean, he even took pictures of what he "rides" in just to get a reaction from people. I applaud you for your dedication. :beer:

Yeah, I think he is, but I am just passing the time procrastinating on packing gear up for a trip next week.
All the bragging about putting out more power than TdF pros, needing a gigantic gear ratio on a goddamned MUP, how stupidly built and strong he is, and we see he is just a chubby deconditioned Fred who thinks he is something special, but can't even install a frame pump.

i started riding in the drops this week. i love it.

I was actually thinking about installing a 58 tooth chainring and machining my own 10-19 cassette.

yey for double posting

sorry i am only here first year. i am from Brooklyn, New York originally.

i'm unemployed. before that i was an electrical engineer.

well it has 2 holes and 2 bolts. maybe i don't understand how to put 2 bolts into 2 holes ? i mean it's possible. but what am i supposed to do - kill myself ?

And whose coattails did you ride to get your degree? If you can't figure out how to mount a simple frame bracket, I doubt yop could design anything.

how can you afford to live in california? you dont have to answer

that sounds like a boring job, you should join the military, i am sure that will cure some of your fears

my mount has no such space. i have it right here. i obviously returned the pump without it since it was destroyed.

Apparently it is beyond you. I have my rear brake cable in the exact same place you do, and I mounted the bracket in a couple of minutes, and I have no problems with the zip ties compressing the cable, as the design prevents the zip ties from even touching the cable. I'm not even an engineer of any variant, nor am I particularly mechanically inclined, and I had no problem, same as thousands of other people. It's not a stretch to see that you are particularly inept at anything other than trolling.

sorry but your sport is no rocket science. it's about as brain dead as they come.

*sigh* you are dense. the cable runs along the side of the mount. The thickness of the zip ties along with the position of the bottom edge of the bracket prevent the zip ties from bending at the angle require to actually compress the cable, unless your top tube is thinner than the bracket itself (even then the zip ties cannot bend at a 90 degree angle due to their stiffness), something that that is demonstrably false.

Clearly not, since you can't figure out even the basic stuff.

you dumbass it is not i who can't figure out how to install it it is topeak that can't figure out how to design it.

i know this is BF but why do u need to make stupid posts ?
