• As above, in need of a a rear wheel, flip flop hub, one that spins preferably. Also need a pump adaptor that will fit cut out that is just over one inch in depth, 2 wide with 2 above valve.

    Thanks!!

  • I have 2x spare pump adaptor from my HED3 days.

    I will take a photo for you - £5 will be plenty for one

  • Sweeeet cheers mate

  • I can't spare mine but they are less than £10 from BBB. I'm sure @Vince should be able to sort you out.

  • Took me this long to get them out of the attic!

    £5 each, pick up from Stoke Newington

  • What is the deal with the silver coloured adapter? The part that connects to the pump is threaded which is unusual?

  • I believe I have the same one (Silva?) - it's threaded, but fits into the Schrader end of my track pump securely.

  • Thanks. As ever there is so much good information available here.

  • It is also worth noting that it is quite difficult to pump up HED3 / discs over 9 bars / 130psi on your own as those adaptors do not have a "lock on" mechanism that grips the valve.

    So depending on the pressure you need, it might be a two people job to get the the right psi (one pumping, one holding the valve).
    Or you need to invest in a better adaptor - I am sure @mdcc_tester can advise.

    If you're riding on your own, you don't need over 9 bar. The tandem gets 10, but the TT bike gets 7.5F/8R

  • Having said that, get a locking valve connector, Hirame Yoko or one of the cheap knock offs or the tarty (but still relatively cheap) KCNC.
