Re: [RBW] Frame Pump, to strap or not to strap

2013-11-07 Thread Tim Gavin 
I've never had the Zefal fall off the peg when riding.

However, it gets bumped off all the time when I'm walking the bike,
carrying it up stairs, loading it in my truck, etc.

So, I strap it.  I salvaged a velcro strap from a cheap underseat bag with
a broken zipper.

Where you have a potentially colliding handlebar/top tube combo, a 
strategically placed pump strap can save some grief.

Subject: [RBW] Frame Pump, to strap or not to strap

Got my nice shiny new frame pump from Rivbike today. The super short mini is 
good for the occasional pump up on the road but I have been doing some mixed 
terrain where I had to take some air out and put it back in on the same ride so 
it made more sense to go full size. My question is does the thing really need 
to be secured with a strap to the TT? I have seen it both ways and would like 
to avoid adding another strap on the bike that inst necessary. Thanks for any 
personal experience people can offer.

That's correct; I put my strap at that same place where the Silver shifters
will hit the top tube.  I have a piece of vinyl electrical tape there even
if I'm not carrying my pump.

Re: [RBW] Frame Pump, to strap or not to strap

I don’t use straps. If the pump has a reasonable amount of compression in the 
spring when it’s mounted you shouldn’t have need to strap it on. I have never, 
ever had a pump fall off while riding.

Note that I don’t ride off-road, so I don’t have to deal with the additional 
potentially pump-jarring bumps.

Re: [RBW] Frame Pump, to strap or not to strap

2013-11-07 Thread Eric Norris 
Here’s my solution to pump rattle, which for some reason (the rattle) seems to 
be specific to my Rivendell Road. I wrapped the pump handle with several turns 
of cloth bar tape, and topped that off with a wrapping of heavy black thread. 
This stopped the occasionally clunking of the pump against the top tube.
