pump valve stuck
hi there,
when inflating using my foot pump, the pump sometimes resists movement & the gauge reaches 80psi. something appears to be getting stuck. any idea what it could be? i know i can buy another pump for $4 from Herbor Fright, but this was a quality pump & i would like to try to dismantle and clean it if possible. thx |

Kinda sounds to me like it's the valve in your tube that's getting stuck - sounds to me like there's nothing wrong with your pump. |

Common situation, if you have presta valves. The valve gets stuck. I loosen the nut, then tap the end with the pump head to unstick the valve (so little air comes out).

pumps need maintenance. take apart at regular intervals, clean, regrease with silicone grease so aso not to rot the rubbah. |
