Very useful video. I had a similar issue a couple of years ago with my main pump. Unfortunately, I didn't realize I could have replaced the head... I now spray a bit of silicone oil on the head's rubber seals, in the hope of them lasting longer.
so got a question for you do you think if my pump head has failed do you think I can jerry rig a replacement head? according to you it seems the size of my pump is likely 10 mm in diameter ? thoughts please thank you
Most locally available pump heads fit the hose just right. I think Lezyne is the outlier. Found a cheap, "moderate-quality" pump head locally. It does the job for now.
@@BikeGremlinUS da pišem na srpskom da se ne pravi o englezi ;) To crevo deluje deblje od onih koje sam viđao, a ta zamenska glava liči da bi na njih pasovala. Takvo je crevo na onim pumpama iz lidla, sa nešto tanjim zidom, na njoj sam menjao glavu sa nekom od kineza poručenom bez muke. Tvoja pumpa je očigledno stara dobra i ne uklapa se u nove trendove štednje.
Didn't want to "alter" the hose. Found a working valve head (not the highest quality, but it does the job). On the lookout for the locally available high-quality pump heads - one will pop up sooner or later, I hope. :)

Nice video :o)
One of my slogans is a sentence I found in Internet that says: „The real failure is the one from which we learn nothing.
Exactly! :)
I call mistakes like this: "I paid for the schooling/education on the topic."
Thank you.....even though the outcome wasn't what you expected, I learned some things from your video and Paulo's comment below.
Cool. :)
I reckoned it would at least be helpful and educational.

This is good to know, cheers
What about for mini airpump? The cover stick that pushed had broked?
Thanks I like the way you trying solve the problem. I was looking this kind of valve for my Air tower 4 Blackburn. What did you think?
I think it depends on the hose's diameter. Many "generic" pump heads fit my hose without problems, but this Lezyne (and Park Tool) head won't.

That hose looks pretty thick, maybe you could shave some rubber on the out side?

Wow… kids.. don’t try this at home… you’ll need a lot of tools… just go buy a new one for $30
I think you gave up too soon. It's most likely a solvable problem with a little creativity.

This guy has no idea of what he's doing.
