Track Pump driving me mad

mfin

Short version - which Track Pump do I now buy or what 'end' can I buy for a Blackburn Air Tower 1 that will actually b*****y work???

Long version - I have this Air Tower, the head is useless, I only use it for presta and it seems to want 6cm of valve or it wont do anything, its crap, (its probably mis-manufactured and I can't send it back now) ...I bought a brass Silca head for it and that is s***t, the rubber inside it has obviously worn off centre and it rarely works.

Is there a good head I can buy that'll fit on? what about those toppeak kits, will they fit on? OR shall I stamp all over the pump, never buy anything by Blackburn or Silca again and buy another? But which one? £30 I can hack.

I thought that the one thing any Track Pump would be good at is pumping up tyres? hmmmm.

I thought Blackburn pumps had a lifetime warranty??

Had my older Blackburn track pump for around 5 years now and it's been fantastic. According to their web site your pump is covered by the lifetime warranty but you should do something about it if you're not happy.

Notified the distributor, Madison?

I have a tesco one. Works fine (1 year+), cost less than a tenner.
