Where to Find A Replacement Silca Gasket?
I have an old Silca frame pump that I don't want to give up on. For now, it won't pump air into my tires.
I suspect the gasket in the head of the pump (where the tire's presta valve enters the pump) has worn away. Does anyone know where I can find a replacement gasket? |
do you have a campy head, or the original silca head?

Loose Screws carries Silca parts.

if the pump won't push air, it is most likely the gasket on the end of the push rod. you can grease it and fan it out, and it will work again. If you are pushing air past the tube fitting you need the new gasket in the head. I have trimmed sink washers down to move the old rubber fitting higher in the pump head to get 'em to work again; Loose Screws is a better solution for that.

Thanks for the advice. It's a silca head. I'm fairly certain the gasket in the head is worn enough to allow pumped air to escape out the opening where the presta valve enters. I've contacted loosescrews.com.
