Default Weird question - wrench force pump parts?

Hi, Cyclingforums! Long time no see.

I'm just posting a quick question:

When I got my bike a few years ago, I bought a Wrench Force floor pump along with it. It has the Presta/Schraeder dual-hole valve thing.

Here's the problem: lately, the Presta hole refuses to hang on to the tire's stem, whether it's locked or not, under even tiny amounts of pressure. So I'd like to replace the head--it seems really wasteful (and expensive) to replace a whole pump that is otherwise functioning properly, and has for the last three years or so.

But I can't find replacement parts anywhere--even my LBS couldn't find parts for this pump.

Any suggestions as to where I can get parts?

Thanks!

You can put a SILCA pump head on almost any pump hose -- about $10 ...

If your LBS can't order one for you, you can get one from COLORADO CYCLIST ... probably, EXCEL SPORTS, too, to name two mail order retailers (amongst many).

Mail Order can be a cyclist's "best friend" if you don't have an LBS that is conveniently located OR an LBS which doesn't have very smart Wrenches OR sales clerks.

Excellent, thanks. I could just cut the hose and use one of the Silca heads (I'd have to cut it since the head is a screw-on sort of deal), but there's a hose-and-head combo on Excel Sports that costs like 20 bucks.
