Last night’s ride home coulda been an exercise in walking but ended up being an exercise in triumph!!! The world’s most mangled looking nail impaled my rear tire. No problem, I shall use my trusty but somewhat rusty Genuine Innovations Air Chuck. Cartridge to Air Chuck and now onto the valve… PSSSSHHFFFFTTTTT!!!!! Egads, an explosion of air from the base of the Air Chuck nearly took my fingers off! Holy cow, it appeared my trusty Chuck came apart at the seal rendering it useless. No surprise as it had been on many, many, many a ride. No more CO2s and no sign of a frame pump. Ah ha, but wait. Wasn’t there a sample Lezyne Pressure Drive (PUMP14061 for those of you following along in your catalog) given to me by former Product manager Dave over a year ago somewhere in my Chrome bag? After some cursory digging, alas I found the tiny lil’ pump and needless to say, it saved the ride. So easy to use, but for a pump that size, it took about half the time as any other pump of similar dimensions. I don’t know what enchanted bits of engineering are inside a Lezyne but it is a blessed piece of machinery! All praise to Lezyne and their effort-free hand pump. Sadly, it won’t prevent you from looking somewhat perverted as you furiously pump away on the side of the road, pump obscured to passersby, but proper inflation supersedes roadside decorum.
Okay, then her head started moving…
