Track Pumps

Never seen it up close, as I haven't ordered it, but the Edinburgh Bicycle Co-op is an excellent shop, as I have bought from them, and if a forumenger has used the item for 4 years without troubles, then I'd call that a pretty good choice. But, Joe Blow's are available in many shops for around £25, so either way, you're a winner.

Ok taken on-board.

you can check the guage on your pump by comparing it with another pump, if the guate is correct then you could possibly look to just replacing the pump head - either one of the Hirame clones or a Joe Blow Multi head - i have the multi head on my pump and it is great because it takes schraeder or presta on the same hole.

The valve on the Silca Superpista is in the base (under the gauge). It's replaceable and I'm trying to find the part in the UK, and still may do. SJS sell gauges, but don't list the valve.
