The Airstik SL Mini-Pump comes with a frame mount for convenient attachment to your bicycle. This mount is designed to fit discreetly under your water bottle cage, ensuring the pump is always accessible when needed.

Attaching the Frame Mount:

1. Identify the water bottle cage mounting points on your bicycle frame.
2. Position the included frame mount bracket beneath your existing water bottle cage.
3. Align the holes on the mount with the frame and the water bottle cage.
4. Use the existing water bottle cage bolts (or provided longer bolts if necessary) to secure both the cage and the pump mount to the frame. Ensure all bolts are tightened securely.
5. Once the mount is secured, the pump can be clipped into the bracket. A rubber strap or clip on the mount will hold the pump firmly in place during rides.
