The same pro-wrench friend has access to all sorts of pump heads and declared the Hirame the best for his use. I believe he used to use the Silca Presta-only pump head. His main concern/criterion, that I thankfully don't share since I don't fancy spending the $$, is being able to pump many tires quickly, efficiently, sequentially and regularly. -B --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Actually, I misspoke. It appears the Silca 40.0 locking pump head requires the Silca 323.1 washer which retails for about $2.50 or about the same as the Hirame.

I was wondering whether the Hirame pumphead was reliable. Since the "chuck's rubber part" appears to wear out fast, and the only place I know to purchase one of these pump heads is Jitensha, one should probably buy a few spares (replacement gaskets are $2.75 each). However, I wonder how the Silca compares to the Hirame? Since the Silca is substantially cheaper ($18 versus $55 for the Hirame), and it appears to use the same rubber washer that the regular brass head uses (which cost about $1), it might be a cheaper way to go. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

According to a friend who wrenches professionally for professional race teams, the Hirame chuck is very, very good if you need to pump many tires at one go, day in and day out. He is very happy with his but has a word of caution for me: the chuck's rubber part wears out rather quickly and it is fairly difficult to find a replacement, even though the replacement is very cheap (like the Silca's). Certainly, a typical consumer's frequency of use is a fraction of a pro's; nevertheless, if you're getting a Hirame chuck, remember to get a few spares to go with it.

Hi, Anne. Which Lezyne did you get? Their web-site has several models, of various prices. I like the Lezyne stuff I've gotten so far (pumps and tire levers and multi-tool) and have sometimes wanted a floor pump. Like the mini pumps I'd had before the Lezyne mini pumps, I have never gotten decent life out of a floor pump. About 30 uses tops. If there's a pump I can get that I can rely on for the next 3 years even, I'll pay real money. Yours, Thomas Lynn Skean On Nov 3, 2:20 pm, Anne wrote: > Lezyne.

I've owned one of the SKS Rennkompressor floorpumps for a number of years.

Well, MY Silca is ONLY 18 years old, and the varnish on the wood(!) handle is cracked a bit, but it still works like a charm. I have replaced the rubber washer in the Presta head once (I think my housemates were using the Presta head to pump up their Schrader tubes), and just bought another Presta rubber washer at my LBS for $2.50 because they gave me something for free and I wanted to buy something even though I didn't really need anything. I doubt they or most other LBSs stock parts for any other pump... A Silca floor pump is about as much of a no-brainer as Sugino cranks or Nitto bars. Make sure to get the hefty (Presta-only) brass chuck, the best pump head out there (at least according to Sheldon Brown, though I concur: http://www.sheldonbrown.com/harris/tools/tire.html). However, I don't know if the recently discontinued Presta *brass* head that screws into a Schrader-compatible base isn't as good as the Presta only head: http://tinyurl.com/ybw566n.

[RBW] Re: Floor pump poll
When I first got my job at Citybikes in 1995, I needed to replace a cheap floor pump I'd scored at a yard sale. The first purchase I made on my shop discount was a Zefal "Husky" pump. I still have that pump and use it regularly. Even though it's heavier than most, I take it along for neutral support at bike events, too. It's just about the most durable pump I've ever used, and thankfully I can still get parts for it.

[RBW] Re: Floor pump poll
A LBS recommended a bottom end Blackburn, which works well and has a double chuck head: double, good; the annular valve lock is awkward, though. Sub $40. The shop man claimed this model is the one they used in the shop. Even better: Big Specialized floor pump for $10 at Goodwill, with what I think is a dual use (as opposed to dual chuck) head with nice, long, strong steel locking lever. At first I hated the design: shove it onto a Presta and lose all the air before you can get the thumblock locked. But after I learned the technique, much prefer it to the dual chuck kind. I still am not proficient with Shraeder valves, though, and for those -- dtr's bike with 20" wheels, beater -- use a $10 foot pump from Pep Boys. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

I got the SKS/Renkompressor replacement head for an old floor pump, and while that head was really nice when new, the gasket didn't seem to last. I partly blame sloppy use by another of the pump users, but it was a little finicky at best. I have a Bontrager floor pump now that i won at a bike race that works really well; gauge at the top, dual head, and the handle locks down so you can actually carry it by the handle too.

I'll second the Park, if only because the gauge up top makes it easy to see for those near sighted people such as I who refuse to put on the specs until actually on the bike. Silcas apparently are back on the market and as lovely as ever. Either the new manufacturer is a shadow of the former or the old pumps just are not what legend had them to be.
