Does anyone have any suggestions of a road bike pump that has a hose, but does not unscrew the valve core?
The Topeak mini morph looks the best, but is very big. I've used a Lezyne with my MTB and had it unscrew the core a couple of times, but really infuriates me.
So any suggestions?
Yeah I've got a Lezyne something or other and that has a bad habit of unscrewing valve cores. I've started to look at buying tubes for the road bike that don't have removable cores.
I use a lezyne pump without any issues - it has a small pressure release button on the hose, you press this before you unscrew it. Also make sure your valve cores are in tight and there should be no issue.
Screw the valve core on tighter. Had issues myself unless I do them up tight. With a core tool / plyers / etc, not just done up by hand.
Does anyone stick a bit of loctite on the thread?
A top tip I had for valve cores is that a chain tool can be used to tighten a valve core if required out on a trail (go and try one and see) if the correct tool / pliers are not to hand
