Hey cool cats,
I bought a NOS silca frame pump (chrome-plastic ??) and a NOS Campy steel pump head. I put the two together and pressure and efficiency is pretty woefull - i didnt expect brilliance but the same pump with a plastic Silca pump head is far better. Before i try to figure out how to secure CO2 cartridges to my Zeus Porta Tubulares id like to make sure i can pump a tire up eventually using the frame pump. It seems to thread on correctly and fit as it should.
Yeah, yeah, i know, i know - i shoulda bought a Zefal but they look about as appropriate as teats on a bull and im a stylin' guy.
Any tips or ideas for looking into whats not right or what to look for in setting it to work as best as possible. Any rocket scientists out there? The steel campy head isnt necessary - i bought it for its extra weight as it may prove handy if its swung in anger or against an attacking assailant - nothing worse than being in a bar room brawl and swinging a haymaker that doesn't make an oppponent flinch, ... what next ... exit stage left - fast !!!!
ciao,
ben kamen NYC
