Bought a Tanaka head from Soma a while back. Liked it so much I bought another.
I used the brass Silca heads for years
These Tanaka heads work great.

Your Tanaka chuck looks like the same thing but looks like it can be installed 
directly into a pump hose using a clamp?
I got tired of screwing a Presta adapter on every time I wanted to fill a 
bicycle tire, so I got a small electric pump and installed this once.  In the 
rare case I want to pump up a Schrader, I can unscrew it.

Re: [RBW] Favorite Floor Pump Head?

2023-11-15 Thread Jay Lonner 
This is maybe a bit of thread hijack, but for those with air compressors I really like the Efficient Velo inflator: https://www.efficientvelo.com/tools/3-in-1-inflator. In fact when the “tried and liked 2023” thread pops up that was going to be my contribution. We’ve added 3 new bikes* to my household over the past year, and the combination of this inflator and an air compressor has really improved my quality of life — I spend a lot less time pumping, and more time cycling. It’s also encouraged me to experiment more with fine-tuning my tire pressures for different types of riding, which has enhanced my overall comfort no matter what bike I’m on. Highly recommended.Jay LonnerBellingham, WA*For those curious: Tumbleweed Stargazer adventure/gravel bike (mine), Transition Smuggler full suspension trail bike (mine), Specialized Turbo Vado SL e-bike (wifey). I also have a Bantam custom on order to replace my Hunqapillar, and I think my wife’s Cheviot will soon be for sale, so I’m anticipating RBW emeritus status within the next year or so…Sent from my Atari 400On Nov 15, 2023, at 9:51 AM, Patrick Moore  wrote:I should have added: Is this the same as the "Hiro" chuck?On Wed, Nov 15, 2023 at 10:48 AM Patrick Moore  wrote:Just to be clear, this is the pump head I recently bought from Soma, called the "Tanaka" pump head; $24.99.

I've been using the old Silca brass chucks for years and they work fine --
simple, air-tight, secure -- on Presta valves if the gasket is in good
condition and you know how to us it -- chuck cap sufficiently tight but not
too tight, chuck pressed on firmly but not obsessively (in which case it's
a pain to remove) -- but I recently bought a Tanaka chuck because it was on
sale by Soma. Who has experience with the Tanaka and can say how well it

That said, a "80 out of 100" recommendation for the old Silca chuck if you
use Presta valves.
