Why...

[vickster]

is attaching stuff to a bike frame so bl**dy fiddly - I have just been cussing trying to attach a pump and a bottle cage to the road bike...I gave up with the pump, will try under the other bottle cage! Now my stupid tennis-elbow plagued arm hurts. I need another pair of hands...I despise anything mechanical - even pumping up the tyres frustrates me

Pumps go in your back pocket.

You are not supposed to attach all manner of gubbins to a road bike - it's the law !

I am not riding 60 miles with a pump in my back pocket!!

Sod the law

I'd like to know where to attach the basin of water in the event of a puncture. Does it go on the handlebars or on the back?

Pump goes on the bike, sweeties go in the pockets.

I am not sure the jelly babies I bought for the ride will make it into my jersey

The pump can go inside your shirt, aligns nicely with the spine and keeps it nice n warm for winter use.

Let me get some popcorn before Vickster responds to this! ^^^

 

[Crackle]

Have you done it yet?

 

[vickster]

Yep, did it yesterday The pump is now on the bottom tube under one cage and the other cage on the other tube

All ready for the ride to Brighton...other than having the legs and fitness...I am also one bag of jelly babies short for the trip

The law needs changing.
