Water bottles and pump position

Pump pocket on back of cycling top for me

 

[Globalti]

I actually punctured last night (in a lovely spot with gorgeous views over the beautiful Ribble Valley) and used about half a cylinder reinflating my tyre. I reckon there's enough gas left to inflate a second tyre if I'm careful and the inflator doesn't seem to lose pressure over time, the trigger is protected by a lock. Shall carry a spare cylinder and GtiJ also carries one but I'd rather use the gas than waste time and energy crouched over a piddling little pump by the side of the road pumping madly like a demented onanist.

I've not had a puncture since I was a kid, seem to be really lucky that way. I do carry a CO2 inflator and a single cartridge just in case.

Must look into a co2 inflate then

Always handy to have a pump as back up as well

That's the kiss of death, then...

I cannot speak for your device, but mine will lose pressure over time once the canister has been pierced. I carried around a part used cartridge for over a year but when the time came it was empty. Luckily I had a couple more in the saddle bag. I always use a full cartridge or dispose of a part used cartridge now.

Pump goes in jersey pocket specifically designed to take a pump.

Oooh I think I've got such a pocket. I stick nakd bars in mine though but at least I'm educated to it's real purpose now.

[QUOTE 4903697, member: 9609"]presumably it doest stick out any further sideways than the bottle ?
nice and neat way to do it proving you don't catch it with your legs.[/QUOTE]

Here's the one I use for my Road Morph:

For extra security I also use the Velcro strap that came with the Morph. Haven't had it fall off yet.

A frame pump can attach to the underneath of the top tube, so two water bottles can be used.

It's easier to inflate tyres with the longer frame pumps than smaller pumps.

 

[freiston]

I have a frame-fit Zefal which is very secure under the top-tube utilising the stud on the rear of the head tube, but I replaced it with a Lezyne Micro Floor Drive HVG (because I like a long hose); it goes in a bag - rack-top or pannier. I have an even smaller (9") push-on which might go in the pocket or bag on very rare occasions.

Oh yeah - I have two bottles too .

 

[Bollo]

I make the Doris drive behind me with a car full of spare bikes and wheels. If I puncture, she runs out and changes it while I mutter something into my jersey collar. If she's dropped behind for some reason, I just wait for a passing cyclist and take one of their wheels.

Indeed , i have a co2 pump + cannister as well as the pump as you never know .....

Ok untill heaven forbid you have an off and get a pump in your back at XX mph

 

[alecstilleyedye]

the pump on the rack is a long pump; the pump on the bottle mounts is to supplement the co2 in the bag...
