throwing out an example - when I used my Zefal this way, on the seat tube,
it fell off all the time and I ended up strapping it

when I moved it to the top tube with an umbrella clip (rubber pad under the
umbrella clip) -
Peter:
Off road it's pretty easy to dislodge the pump. If you don't want to add
more clutter, how about strapping it when venturing off-road? At least
then if you do knock it loose it won't immediately create a problem.

The strap isn't to keep the pump from falling off, it keeps it from
rattling.
The rattling can be the sound of the raised edge of the pump handle
hitting the bottom to the TT, which then rusts, then the TT fails.

You can also place it behind the seat tube; compressed between the upper
and lower chainstays.

My '88 Schwinn KOM-10 MTB has a vertical pump peg behind the seat cluster.
Unfortunately, I'm using the chainstay bridge to mount a fender, so I
can't use that location right now.
It's a nice feature, but kinda bewildering as the bike has the peg but no
fender or rack eyelets.

I've knocked it off a couple times, but the big reason is to reduce rattles.

it isn't a contest. Just enjoy the ride. - Seth Vidal

I think the key to pump security on bumpy terrain is to have a mounting peg
and sufficient compression.
Or use a Lezyne mini. The larger one pumps a 61 actual mm Big Apple to 20+
rather quickly and easily, and a 55 (actual) F Fred to 30 with not much
more effort. I daresay even a Zefal might take
An ounce of prevention...

For frame pumps, I use a strap. Had one fall off on a bike trail once.
For me, Planet Bike models seem more likely to do this than a Zefal.
The other reason - it helps cut down on the brake cable bouncing off the
top tube.

Wow - 5-10 minutes with a big plier sound like some serious effort - they
must be strong.
Curious - did it come off clean and leave an unpainted surface spot or was
it inserted into a hole in the frame?

It left a raggedy stump. IIRC the bike in
