I don't like the position it's currently in. I liked the Rocket peg better, where the pump is slung underneath the chanstays instead of on top. The on-top VRex position gets in the way of my new OnGuard cable lock (massively thick), and also it has forced me to design the aluminum mounts for my custom midship rack in a less-than-optimal design.

There's no way I can mount it in a drill press, so I'm just using a very slow rotation with a hand-held variable speed drill. Cobalt drill bit. Miter cutting oil. Lots of pressure.
