Zefal Hpx head rebuild.
I've got an Hpx from the 80s. For the life of me, I can't get it to stay on a valve more than a couple pumps.
I got this thing a few months ago basically unused since the 80s. A little lube on the innards and it pushes air great. Problem is, I can't keep it on the valve.
$5 rebuild kit, $6 shipping. It's made of a tackier black rubber than the original. Mine is off white and kinda slick. I'm not mixing up presta or schrader.
If it works, no brainier. I just wanted to double check that there isn't some problem inherent in the design and I'd be better to cut my losses.
Yes, I have a CO2, mini pump, and a Silca. This seems like a great candidate for town rides, my wife, back of kid trailer, etc. I'm a recent inductee to the frame pump club and so far, I like it better than the mini stuff except in very limited situations.
Is it worth fixing?
