btw, what the hell**********?
So I have this pump, (the dreaded Specialized pump), about 16 years, maybe a bit more. Never had a thought about it. Been pumping away for years, like a champ. Robbie starts this thread with some comment about maintenance. I do some snarky reply - Maintenance? Who does pump maintenance? ...yada, yada, yada...
After all this time, I should know better. Nobody ****s with the cycling gods. Pump was making a new clicking noise this morning. I'm sure it will be crap by the weekend.

Somewhere, somehow, pump sellers just got the juju on us.
That they lumped you in with me, well, that's an issue for concern.
