The HP was fantastic too. I had one that I salvaged after it was
run over by a car. I drove a dowel the same diameter as the bore of
the pump down the inside of the pump and then reinstalled the pump
handle (after removing the dowel of course) and that pump worked
for many years after.

I'm surprised that method worked!Â* Neat.

Yeah it worked. All I had to do was chamfer one end of the dowel
before inserting it into the pump body. Then it was a simple matter of
tapping the dowel down the pump body a bit, pull the dowel back until
loose again and repeat until the entire pump body was restored. I took
that pump backÂ* to the bike shop where they had given it to me after
the customer left it there. I showed them the pump and demonstrated
that it worked. they said it's be a great ad for Zefal HP pumps. I
still have a Zefal HP that I salvaged from another accident.

The only disadvantage, in a way, with Zefal HP pumps was the need for
an umbrella clip to hold one end of it.

The later Zéfal nylon peg is very nice and doesn't rust.



The one that I had fit up against the top tube and along the down tube.
The spring of the pump held it in place. There was a fitting on the
head that kept it stable. Upside is that it worked well and was easily
accessible to fend off dogs. Downside is when geometries started
changing it no longer fit.
