Pumps to fit on pannier rack
« on: 06 October, 2017, 05:51:31 pm »
Need a new pump to have out and about on bike. We'll need two as trying to equip each bike with tools etc so don't need to keep swapping. Anyway the one I'm interested in has a pannier rack with pump fitting. It's about 9 1/2 inches between the two mounting points. Any recommendations and do people trust the pump to stay in or use secondary fixing as well. Oh it has to to Schrader valves although ideally do both without too much faffing.

a pump that is the correct length (and that has peg fittings) won't fall out of the pump pegs but it may not survive being on the bike when it is parked either.

I'd suggest that (if you can't find a pump with a dual head the right length, which is quite likely) you buy a pump that does the most common type of valve and use an adaptor for the other sort.

BTW a lot of Dutch bikes have pump pegs on the rack and a dealer in the same may well be able to provide a suitable pump.

cheers

Can you recommended a pump that will fit, my local shop doesn't have anything of any quality so need to look towards the interweb

As an alternative, this https://www.evanscycles.com/lezyne-micro-floor-drive-hv-pump-EV163132 fits on the seat tube, sitting on the BB without interfering with anything....
