I replaced the dismal chuck that came with my Zefal Husky HP with a Silca several years ago. But as of recently I can't seem to get along with the Silca either, despite changing the washer a couple of times. The force required to get it on and off is destroying my inner tubes. I don't know what's changed. So I'm in the market for a new head/chuck.
Hirame is too expensive.
Lezyne has consistently good reviews. If I buy a flip thread chuck with hose (http://www.lezyne.com/flip-thread-chuck-w-hose.html) will I be able to get the head off that hose and onto the Zefal hose?
Other possibilities:
Zefal Z-Turn (http://www.zefal.com/zefal/produit.php?key=198920)?
Problem Solvers Air-Bob Universal Tire Inflator Replacement Head (http://aebike.com/product/problem-solvers-air-bob-universal-tire-inflator-replacement-head-replacement-head-for-pu9997-sku-pu9993-qc30.htm)?
Planet Bike (http://aebike.com/product/planet-bike-pump-hose-with-autovalve-presta-schrader-head-sku-pu2506-qc30.htm)?
Park Tool (http://aebike.com/product/park-tool-pfp-4-rebuild-kit-for-pfp-2-pfp-4-sku-pu6020-qc30.htm) does it come with a hose clamp screw? (looks like the Planet Bike chuck)
If you have experience with these, especially with fitting them to hoses, I'd value your comments.
