One end goes on the pump peg; the other end fits on the seat tube and maybe has a protrusion that contacts both seat and top tubes. The pump is spring loaded, and pushes back into the seat tube. You need to know the distance between the head tube and the seat tube. > > Any suggestions for a nice rivish pump? I like the Zefal HPX a lot.

Between those two, you can't get much more traditional than that. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
