Where do you fasten your pump?

[Dayvo]

Out of curiousity (and perhaps a little guidance) where do you have your pump on your bike (assuming you use a hand pump)?

Traditionally I've always had it on the downtube (although when I first stated cycling yonks ago, I had it under the top tube) but am now wondering if I should have it on the seat tube (from an aesthetic point of view).

What do you prefer?

Mine is on the front of the frame whatever that's called.

No real preference for me, but on my MTB its on the seat tube, Scott Roadie also seat tube and on my Focus Roadie its on the down tube.

Mine's in a holder bolted under the downtube bottle cage.

I have a mini hand pump, it lives in one of my jersey pockets

 

[Sittingduck]

Seat tube - mounted with the bottle cage

Similar for me. Seat tubes on the off-roaders, down tubes on the roadies.

I think for aesthetics you were right all those years ago - under the top tube, definitely. Also means you can fit 2 bottle cages.

In my camelbak. I am trying to stop using it on the road bike but it's so strange not to have the pack on.

Mine's on the down tube. The elastic-y strap thing goe under the bottle cage on the same fitting. Could put it on the seat tube if i wanted, but it's fine where it is.

Since being dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st century and getting a mini pump it lives on the down tube on a bracket secured under the bottle cage. I always used to use a frame pump under the cross bar, oops, sorry, top tube, but only there because I have bottle cages on front and seat tubes.

I've a mini handpump inside a bag under my saddle

 

[Davidc]

Mini pump on the downtube below the bottle cage.

 

[barongreenback]

Downtube under the bottle cage as well. Never occurred to me to put it anywhere else!

In one of my panniers, it's obvious innit?
