We use a Joe Blow Pro here and like it a lot. The pump head seems to have got borked on the Eurotrip last year (we suspect someone tried to disassemble it to make it work with a Woods valve) but we were able to get a new head from:- http://www.ukbikestore.co.uk/acatal...UMP_SPARES.html as kindly pointed out by someone on this very ng... -- Carol "Mmmmooooowooooff!" - the Moobark, "The Treacle People" |
