A while back I purchased the Blakburn Air Stik AS-1 mini pump for my road
bike in hopes that it could save the day if I ever got stuck somewhere with
a flat tire.
Now probably more than a year later, I had a rear tire flat and although I
consider myself very mechanically inclined, I had no idea what to do with
this thing to try and connect it to my presta valve.
There are two pieces inside the pump head, a light grey rubber ring with
two opening sizes and then a hard, black plastic ring with different point
shapes in the center.
I ended up taking it apart and only using the light grey ring with
appropriate opening for the presta valve. The thumb lock didn't seem to
have any affect. I was able to get enough air in to make it home, but not
much more.
Can anyone tell me the proper setup for this pump on a presta valve?
I kept thinking I should try it before I needed to, but no time for that.
Thanks,
Dave
