Konaman Posted January 6, 2012 Share never use a bomb with the screw on adapter. rather get the one that you press on the valve. The screw on can remove the inner valve and even brake off the valve when it freeze and get stuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeTurbo Posted January 6, 2012 Share Don't use bombs. A pump will warm your hands nicely if you use it fast & quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMD 1 Posted January 6, 2012 Share I also learnt a lesson. Do not touch the electric fence at Silvertree Est in Tokai. Its a rather powerful one. And no it was not on purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cippo Posted January 6, 2012 Share never use a bomb with the screw on adapter. rather get the one that you press on the valve. The screw on can remove the inner valve and even brake off the valve when it freeze and get stuckIve been thinking about switching to bombs as the screw adapter with my Lezyne mini pump usually screws out the inner valve when I remove it. Is there a remedy to this or do you still get tubes without the screw type inner. I have a floorpump at home so the mini is only for emegencies. No hijack intended.

TNT1 Posted January 6, 2012 Share I also learned a lesson yesterday. Be very careful how you present your opinion if it differs from the opinion of certain hub members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimW Posted January 6, 2012 Share If you pee on it,it will loosen Just had a mental picture of somebody trying to prepare to pee on their own hand while wearing bib shorts, while one hand is frozen to a bomb which is also frozen onto a wheel !!!!!

Put a drop of threadlock on the inner valve. I can't think of the name of the stuff, but your hardware store/motor spares place will, or a Hubber will. Of course, it could just be called Threadlock. (I'm confused today. It's too early in the year.) Or just make sure the valve is just a tad tighter. I dare to mention pliers ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
