Are all track pump heads the same?

I've got an umpteen year old Bontrager track pump that I'd rather not bin. Is the thread pitch/size the same for say Joe Blow?

They're not, but you should be able to get a replacement head with the thready bit, and just swap the whole thing over. Hose diameters can vary a bit too though, which can make replacements a bit tricky.

I bought a BBB DualHead a while back to rescue an old Scott track pump on which the original head had been broken. It’s been a great replacement and better to use in practice than the original.

Got a 6 quid job from decathlon which did the job lovely on my old track pump. Had all the bits needed to attach it to a bare hose.

As above they are not. You can normally make it work though. Alternatively topeak make a kit (head, hose and adapters) that will fit most pumps.

They a re all near enough to be made to work though. You can jam a wide head end onto a narrow hose and pack a wide hose to fit a narrow head. Apart from that you can swap willy nilly.

My on one and compressor both have had their original heads replaced with a topeak head. Both lasted 10 years so far.

Another +1 for the Decathlon head. Double ended design is also better than the combo head it replaced.

Anyone know if the Decathalon head will fit an SKS hose?

Whatever you do, just avoid buying a lezyne one. Unless you want to constantly unthread your valve core.

Lezyne do a really good non-thready chuck too. I’ve binned off the normal one for it. Cost around £10 - “Dual Valve Pump Head”

Would post a link but it doesn’t seem to be working

In defence of Lezyne pumps, I’ve been using them for years and, as long as you push the little black pressure release button before removal, the valve cores never come undone
