[Closed] Bontrager Shock Pump: leaky valve

[#3948519]

Anyone else had a problem with their Bontrager shock pump valve/ connector bit on the end of the hose?

The lever that locks the pump onto the shock valve doesn't stay in the locked position any more on mine so I'm now having to push the lever down, to stop losing air, while trying to pump air in at the same time. Very tricky and it's doing my head in!!!! ๐Ÿ‘ฟ

Anyone got a solution for this or am I going to have to resign myself to getting a new one??

Yes, had exactly the same problem with the lever which rendered it next to useless. I bought this one as a replacement and had no such issues...

Thanks nickwolves.
In a way it's reassuring that I'm not the only one to have had this problem. Shame there doesn't seem to be a way of fixing it rather than replacing it though. The rest of it is really well engineered, it's just that bl**dy valve ๐Ÿ‘ฟ
Anyone else know if there's a fix for this???
