Silca Overhaul/Rebuild
I have a Silca Pista that I would like to overhaul. Does anyone know of a more concise guide than the Silca .PDF download? Also, does anyone have any experience with this new head?
It locks on, and I'm wondering if it's better than the standard Pista presta head. Thanks in advance.

I have no idea how to rebuild a Silca Pista since my 10 or 12 year-old one has never needed anything but a new washer for the Presta-only head every couple of years. 
Thar new head design looks interesting but Silca has a track record for poor head designs with the sole exception of the old, heavy presta-only.
