Thanks! You too!

Cool ! i have the hefty model that has an aluminum casing and a lot of power .i don't mind the extra weight because i already carry an insane amount of tools , tubes, torque wrench , clothing , etc in my panniers and a TEN lb chain and lock .🤪 Maybe i should carry some pills for my paranoia as well 😂

One of the struggles I’ve had with many mini pumps, is that when you screw them onto a presta valve, they unscrew the tip of the presta valve when you take them off. Does this pump have the screw on tube, or something different? And is there a way to prevent unscrewing your presta valve tip while using the newer screw on pump tubes?

[@BikeShopGirl]

If the presta core is properly in that shouldn’t happen. I’m wondering if the grommet from the schrader valve side wasn’t removed? This is a screw on style.

[@bethaniejify]

@@BikeShopGirl this has happened with two different presta valves I’ve tried. Just the tip of the presta valve ends up Unscrewing when you unscrew the tube.

I have a problem. I have a hydraulic brake line that has worked free of a bracket so now it can get caught by a tire. How do I get it back in the bracket?

[@BikeShopGirl]

I assume you just need a zip tie?!

[@hemaccabe4292]

@@BikeShopGirl What a great idea! TY!

[@hemaccabe4292]

@@BikeShopGirl I checked and was able to use a zip tie to fix the problem. I'm very grateful for your help.

[@michelbaker4798]

Any reason you went with the A2 and not the A8 model ?

[@BikeShopGirl]

The A2 can also be a backup battery

[@michaelcase8574]

If you dont use it often, the battery will run down rather quickly.

Maybe when I’m old? Idk. This doesn’t seem like it’s any more useful than a manual pump……

[@BikeShopGirl]

Ha. It may be that you aren’t old enough :)

[@Paladinbr]

Manual floor pumps at home are great. The small pump attached to your water bottle mounts are not great on the side of the road, especially with higher volume ebike tires.

[@chelseashurmantine8153]

@@Paladinbrmaybe, but I’ve been riding my e-bike exclusively since January and I’ve fixed like 10 flats with it just fine. Love when I can do it at home but yeah. I still don’t see why I need to make that process electric imo and my personal lifestyle and experiences pumping up on the side of the road. It’s not even the main part of a tire change…..

@@chelseashurmantine8153 like she said, maybe you're not old enough.
