    Update: either I missed it before, or Serfas added rebuild kits for their pumps. You have to click the little wrench icon and then small parts for accessories (or just the link below), and it takes you to a page where you can buy a range of replacement pump parts. Yay! Got two new gaskets on order.

    I love my my Blackburn Air Tower 2. I've had it for almost 3 years and never had a problem with it. It has worked fine with both Schrader and Presta valves. I just realized it doesn't look as good as it once did - what with traveling with me on my mtb adventures, but that doesn't mean anything

    I did end up getting a Joe Blow. I like it, but it does have difficulty forming a seal on the presta side (not sure about the Schrader side, since I don't have tubes with Schraders). Odd.
    At least I don't leave slime trails.

    It has different sides for the valve in question? Interesting - my Blackburn Air Tower 2 just has one "side" and takes either valve with no problem.

    If it has a dedicated Presta "side" that isn't working quite right can you return it for a replacement? Seems to me that shouldn't be happening with a brand new pump.

    We are Zefal fans. The Zefal Husky floor pump is a beast, Zefal also offers replacement parts but our pump is over 8 years old, is used extensively in the bike shop and never had any issues. The adapter for schrader is chained to the pump so never gets lost and is simple to use.
