Title: Head needed
Post by: maximusotter on February 22, 2007, 20:06:24 PM
Finally broke the head on my floor pump. :( I so really doubt that the LBS has what I really need (http://www.westernbikeworks.com/productdetail.asp?p=SNSBH&tnum=5885676&c=7843006&ref=pd) as they suck. Bastards. Last time I needed toe straps, I had to buy a clip/strap combo. Whats the world come to? Cant even get proper toe strap buttons any more! Hrrrmph.

Mt Zefal sell toe straps on their own.
Although, if you get no joy at your local, stif.co.uk where I work might be able to get something if its one of the major brand of pumps.
And we send abroad as long as your billing/shipping address match.

Thanks, but I can sort this locally, even if I have to order. REI is great with special orders, and I know the manager personally, its just a long drive. :P Gotta wait till I got other stuff to do in that suburb. :lol:

Im definitely getting chrome clips and leather straps the next time I freshen the city bike, in a year or so. These Soma clips look to be the business: http://www.rivbike.com/webalog/pedals_clips_straps/14051.html
I got the standard "mountain" nylon jobs now, and they work, but the straps could be a bit stiffer. But they=fugly. :P
