Hey all, my Nashbar L'Orange V2 pump has served me well for 3 years now, but the other day I was taking the hose off to put it on an air compressor (bcos tubeless), and the hose barb broke off. It's a tiny skinny plastic barb that is integral to a 1/4 male-threaded plastic stud which is part of the guts of the pump (to which the gauge screws on).

I contacted Nashbar, and they actually said they'd replace the whole pump -- lifetime warrantee. But I'd have to pay to mail the pump away at my own expense and wait, so I popped into Lowe's and then O'Reilly's looking for air compressor fittings that could get me back in action quicker (and cheaper than shipping).

At Lowe's there was a blowgun kit that contained a small tapered barb that would do the trick, but its back was male-threaded, and I don't know what size, but smaller than 1/4", and finer threads. Lowe's did not have a coupler that would connect that barb to my 1/4" plastic male-threaded stud. O'Reilly's had basically nothing for me.

Any advice on where I might be able to shop locally, and what are the precise names/sizes of parts I should look for? Or other ingenious ways of connecting my hose back to the barbless pump?
