Hi
I have a Blackburn track pump (not sure of the model and I’ve had it over 5 years) and the valve head has started to not “bite” onto the valve so that it blows up easily.
Are these heads replaceable or do I just need to buy a new one.
Cheers
Steve
You can get replacement heads.
You can get replacement parts for the head you have, or replace the head. The new head needn't been a Blackburn one either.
I've needed to replace the valve head on a couple of track pumps and in both cases just replaced the whole hose/valve head with one of these:

It's the same model used on their Rennkrompressors so built to last and it's probably possible to buy replacement rubber washers for them.
Obviously you need to check if the brass fitting on the hose is compatible, but in my experience it seems fairly universal.
Hi
Thanks all
It’s an Airtower 2 and I see now that I can swap the hose or just the head as long as the threads are the same.
Anyone know if the digital gauge type that’s built into the hose fits these?
I think Lezyne do one?
Cheers

For a track pump i'd sack off any kind of bullshit rubber squShing arangement and get a screw on head.
I: then tighten all my valves up properly and enjoy heavy pumping.
I have one of these on my Rennkrompressor for track use, will inflate to 12 Bar easily (and more)
