I use zefal hpx frame pumps on a 60 cm cheviot and a double-toptube 62 cm hillborne. Picking the cheviot up by the seat tube seems the more intuitive spot due to the "top" tube being lower than where I tend to grab, so the frame pump is not an issue. For some reason, whether it be due to the design of the cheviot's pump peg, the angle, or the fact that it's a shorter pump, I find the frame pump on the cheviot to be the more solid of the two.. Although they're both solid enough to forget about on offroad rides.
I also have a lezyne mini pump for times I don't feel like having a frame pump attached for whatever reason but I like the way the bikes look with the frame pumps. Functionally I find them all to be similar, the zefal takes fewer pumps to fill a tire, the lezyne screws on to the valve for a more secure attachment while pumping. They're both nice. Like the bikes. I'm happy to take any combination of tire pump, water storage and actual bike out for long days on (and off) the road. Also, one more option for water bottle holding is that two typically sized water bottles fit side by side on a nitto rack, just bungee them down and you're good to go. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
