    In the end I just bought a new mini-pump. The old was breaking up,
    and I wasn't relying on it anymore. However, is it possible to source
    some frame mounts for a truflo HPX pump? When I get my next mountain
    bike I'd like to carry that one. [1]

    Zefal "doofas" are I think the term. Plastic things which wrap around a
    tube, and leave you a pump peg. Probably only need one, and trap the other
    end into an appropriate corner of the bike frame. Problem is they are no
    longer on the Zefal website :-(

    Can sometimes be done with just a cable tie to create a pip at the
    appropriate place on a frame.

    LBS should have some old plastic or metal clip-on peg that will work.

    Someone stopped for me today and kindly pumped up my tyre with a CO2
    pump.
    It was easy ... fantastic, in fact. So, I'm looking at buying one.

    Hey, why not get a bike with an engine too so you don't have to bother
    with all that tiresome pedalling?

    Where does that one come from .. oh right, insinuating that a CO2 pump makes
    me really, really lazy.? Not open-minded and willing to try something new,
    especially as someone rescued me in seconds after my reliable pump broke.

    Personally, I can't see what this has added to the thread. Have you any
    personal experience that buying a CO2 pump makes people go out and buy a
    motorcycle?

    No, I'm just being silly

    I saw these in a shop whose name I don't want to mention (or admit going
    into). I think they were the chains own brand.

    H*lf*rds :-(
