[RBW] Re: Frame pump placement - Rear triangle possible?

2016-04-07 Thread drew
the pump in bag is a fair point. i have a mini that i toss in a bag on my 
fastest bike. but i swap bags and move stuff around so much, that im never 
sure exactly where it is. the frame pump can just stay. 

issues i encountered when trying to mount on rear triangle, or back of seat 
tube were: 1-when mounted on the seat stay, from drop out corner to top of 
seat tube, the pump pushed my fender inward and it caused rubbing on the 
tire. but i have 50mm tires+fenders.  2-when mounted on the back of the 
seat tube, from bb area to the top, my xt front derailer pushed the pump 
out so that it didnt fit cleanly. the clamp bolt on that particular 
derailer hit it just in the right spot for it not to work.

easily twice as many pumps as required with a Zefal HPX

This is a 60 cm LHT with a Zefal running along the seat tube.  Obviously 
you need the chainstay clearance.  Normally the pump is under the top tube, 
however those are tent poles wrapped in an old pair of socks lashed down 
for an S24O.

2016-04-07 Thread Mark Wilkins
I have a Topeak full-size that I use in the rear triangle of my 60cm
Ram and my 61cm Atlantis, just like the pics of Sean Hipkin's bikes.
I'm not sure of the size of the pump, but I recall using it this way
because it was just a hair too short to fit snugly under the top tube
of my 60cm Ram.

It fits snugly on both the Ram and Atlantis, and I don't use a strap.
If I was riding any rough(-er) terrain, I probably would.

If you dont mind giving up your seat tube water bottle, you can mount a 
Topeake frame pump (and probably others) there easily.  I have the XS size 
for my 51 frame; Topeakes come in about 4 sizes.  I also used one of the 
water bottle mount screws to hold a small Velcro cable tie; much less 
conspicuous than the black Velcro strip provided with the pump.

If you are mounting to the seat-tube, you can still get NOS clamp-on pegs 
from E-vilbey.  Cyclo made the nicest ones - have one on my SO's Betty.

Another way to eliminate knocking the pump loos when you carry the bike up 
stairs is to grab it by the downtube.  ;-)

Sean Hipkin, formerly of Rivendell, had his frame pump in the rear 
triangle. There are a few pics of his Legolas:
http://www.rivbike.com/product-p/staff9.htm

It doesn't look like he rigged a pump peg, but did use a strap. I tried 
this on my AHH with a Zefal pump from Riv, and it seemed fine. I haven't 
ridden it a lot like that, though.

Good luck!
