The only thing I don't like about the setup is how I used some rubber rim tape wrapped around the seatstay as a shim for the tubus pclip. Metal or wood would be better, but I don't have the supplies or the tools to make a bespoke shim that's ~3mm thick.




Jamming a pump into the seat stay used be a pretty common way of carrying a pump. Google "pump in seatstay" and click images for multiple examples.
