by the way, i suggested the military cause you are jobless and you have a degree, you get paid a lot better and go in as an officer with a degree, on top of that, you will find out what real fear is or atleast how to deal with it and figure out that life can be really short so make the best of it.

because it has no class.
the only reason i didn't IMMEDIATELY return it is because i knew it was the best one they had so i couldn't exchange it for a better onel
so i decided to try installing it properly - using the bolts - and then i FAILED.
YOU HAPPY NOW ?

I once had a Road Morph. In fact, I still have it but I prefer CO2 these days. I installed it on the top tube with the reusable zip ties. The brake cable ran through it... maybe even rubbed the mount (
). I used common sense and decided it wasn't an issue. And it wasn't.
Love the NEUROSPORT threads.

So now an inanimate object needs to be classy as a required attribute? You better get looking for a pump that lists "classy" as one of it's features.
You might have been better served asking the LBS for help on how to install it on your bike rather than pitch a fit. I guess that would be too rational and logical for you.
If you failed where so many haven't, the rational thing to do is to try and figure out where you went wrong, rather than branding an entire company as inept manufacturers of "filth" because you would rather erroneously assign blame elsewhere rather than sack up, admit that you need help, and contact the appropriate entity to get said help. How do you make it through life throwing a tantrum rather than actually trying to solve the problem?
You get angry, you lose.

Anyway so while you sleep think about this question - what options does Neurosport have regarding a pump ?
i could get a small pump to go in the camelbak. i could get that pump that is not aerodynamic and mounts on the side. any other options ?
i am a little paranoid that if i put the pump in the backpack it will somehow be not comfortable ?
and what if i crash ? i would rather have it on the frame than on my body when crashing. i would rather surround my body with softer objects.

You think I am throwing a tantrum, you are the one swearing at me with a frustrated tone. I am not angry at all; this has been great saturday evening entertainment actually. Made packing go a lot easier. Hard to throw a tantrum when you are amused, not upset.
Other people have made recommendations already, and you have dismissed them all. *shrugs*

LAWL.
I am not the person who needs to know why you can't figure it out, you are. If you dismiss that as irrelevant and unnecessary, then it will happen again the next time you can't figure something out.

next time when i am having a problem i will take it to the store immediately and either have them show me how its done or return it for a refund.
also i should have tried installing it the first day, not wait 2 weeks. i procrastinated like i always do then by the time i actually ran into the problem i was nervous because i didn't know if they would take it back after the time has passed. if i wasn't feeling stressed i probably wouldn't have broken it.
now can you get off my ass ?

i know perfectly well what my mistake was. it was not returning the product immediately as soon as i saw that a perfect fit without modifications would be impossible.

I keep my bike frame as uncluttered as possible. I have two water bottle cages and that's about it. The drop bars do have the Garmin computer holder. I don't even have a saddle bag. So my topeak road morph and spare tubes all go in my lumbar bag that's clipped around my waist. That lumbar bag carries more stuff than a seat bag. Its portable, unlike a seat bag.
I have asked Columbia to design a lumbar bag, not just for trail runners and hikers, but one specifically for bike riders. No response yet.
Patentcad has a beautiful bike. IMHO, attaching a frame pump onto his bike would take away the aero qualities from that Cervelo.
