Sometimes it's the little things...
I've had a Serfas floor pump for years now, and of course the gasket in the head was worn out. It wouldn't hold on certain stems, and would always leak as I pumped. I just replaced the head with a new Park one and its like having a new pump. It grabs, it doesn't leak, it takes many fewer strokes, and when I release it, it pops right off without loosing any air.
