Review on ๐Ÿ”ง PFP 3 Park Tool Pump Rebuild Kit by Robert Howell

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Fits my pump snugly

I have an Innovations Top Dog pump and this pump head is *right* for it so used Innovations Park parts. In fact, Revain has another similar pump head, but with a chrome (mini) handle and different seals. The original pump head on my pump has a chrome handle, but that doesn't matter as the black or chrome is just a cosmetic effect. This product is the cheaper version, which is definitely because it comes with a small o-ring instead of more seals, but I don't replace the piston or any other rings on my pump, and I don't know which version of the o-ring Rings is used by Top Dog (if any). My only disappointment is that I may not have needed a pump head. I tried the old one on three tubes and none drew air. After installing a new pump head, I have almost the same feeling. With these special racing bike tubes, the screw in the stem could not be unscrewed very far or no air could get in. I've never had a similar experience with more than one camera, so I was dumb and didn't get it. that the problems were probably with the rods of the tubes (and not the pump head). I fixed a tube (which was in service now) and took some old, long, flattened tubes and tried to inflate them with air. To fix all those pipes, everyone had to unscrew the stem just enough to let air in - not too much and not too little. Aggravating.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Fine
