Guess I wasn't clear on my question: the nozzle won't stay on the stem. I tried it with the lever up and the lever down but every time I pushed on the pump the nozzle flew off. Hecks Becks the nozzle wouldn't even stay on the stem without pumping. I was able to take the nozzle off the stem no matter what position I had the lever in. I also ended up losing all the air out of the tire from the *&)*$#*%# nozzle! lol I talked to another rider here who has the same pump and she has the same problem. She even took her Road Morph in to the LBS and They couldn't get it to stay on the stem either - so we're wondering what we're doing wrong??
