I just bought a Roadie frame pump, which is a classic-style full-size frame pump that is capable of pumping to high pressure without much difficulty. I have used this same pump before my bike got stolen, along with the pump on the frame. The pump comes with no Velcro straps, bracket, or other means to attach the pump to the bike. However, it comes with a hole on one end of the pump to fit into a "pump peg." A pump peg, apparently, is a little brazed-on knob on the rear of the head tube for holding a pump with a hole in the right place. Needless to say, my bikes don't have these "pump pegs" on the frame - apparently it's quite uncommon for modern bikes to have a pump peg at all.
I browsed the web to see what the solution to this is, and apparently one can buy a plastic "pump peg," which is a zip tie you can attach to your head tube with a peg on it. I went into a LBS in Boston and asked if they had this, and they had no idea what I was talking about. I did an Internet search for a pump peg and all I found was a company located overseas in the UK which will sell me one for a high shipping fee. I will check an LBS in my town, but something tells me nobody carries these things. Planet Bike really should have provided a pump peg with their pump, but since they didn't, where can I buy one of these plastic pump pegs? I searched web forums about this topic, and all the posts about where to buy a pump peg are old, broken links.
Thanks in advance for your help.
