This is a bit of useless info to anybody but a NOOB.
When using an SKS track pump, a slow rhythm must be employed, otherwise a false pressure reading can be given. Steady rhythm is the key.
I noticed that some pumps can be used with a more rapid motion, and the pressure increases directly, but with the SKS (that I have), it doesn't respond well to rapidity. Yes, its well bolted together, tight, and no air escapes in normal use.
