Not a dumb question, but yes, I am flipping it back down.Originally Posted by liza
I'm sorry if this is a dumb question, but you are flipping the lock lever back down before you try to take it off, right?

Loosen the screw valve on the end of the pump hose (the part that connects to the tube valve) so that it's a little easier to put the thing on and off your tube valve. A little loosening goes a long way- easy does it. It should not be too tight when putting it on and off to pump your tire.
AVOID wiggling the thing as you take it on and off- a sure fire tube valve breaker.Lisa

Yeah, you're better off trying to just yank it off straight than wiggling. Just watch out for your spokes. With a sticky pump and bladed spokes, bad things can happen.
