Still have and use the same pump on the trek 520 to this day when on tour.

Purchased two more *spares* off e-bay a couple years ago when it looked like they were discontinued (not listed on Zefal website. no parts listed either). I noticed last year that parts are now available direct from Zefal, as well as the pump being back in the catalog.
This works really well with the hpX series as the body of the Top handle is also alloy and can be relectorized quite easily, in addition to the body of the pump.
Good to hear that they are producing the HP-X model again since it's my favorite as well. Zefal's later models were not nearly as durable. Also have one of their old HP (without the 'X') pumps from the '70s on one of my bikes.
