Today's ride, I had a flat. Got out my Morph pump, which I have always loved. The gauge, the floor pump aspect of it's design. The design itself.
Last time I had a flat couple months ago, used that pump- thought it pumped sort of slow and ineffective. So I took it apart. Cleaned it out, checked o rings. Added very slight amount of silicone lube spray. wiped.
Used it afterwards, seemed it pumped halfway normal. Today's flat. It was useless. Delivery was a puny amount of air per stroke. Walked to a bike shop. Asked could replace o ring or something. Bike shop owner said no. Can't repair it, after explained to him, I liked it's design.
So I bought another style pump. Had a Morph once before after two - three years, same problem. Are Topeak pumps only supposed to last a couple years.? If so, Disappointing.
