My chain/cassette is still rubbing!! This is driving me nuts. Its only in about a 2 inch spot too, like the plastic needs to be held down or tightened or something, and my "crack pipe" isn't working to boot! Its the little things that kill.
Dan- We solved my issue by shortening the plastic screws that hold the cover on. Cutting off about half of the male side pulls the cover tighter.
Its not the room I don't have, the plastic moves enough for it, I can't seem to keep the pipe on the valve long enough to get the right amount of pressure in the tire. It pops off. Pisses me off, I paid $20 for it and it looks like an actual crack head made it!
Pumping up a wheel with a crack pipe solo is a huge pain. You have to hold the pipe on the valve and pump with your chest/body weight or just ask someone to pump while you hold.
Do you even need it if you use a micro-flator out on the course if you flat?? is the pipe for hand pumps only? I just wondered because I'd hate to ask someone to pull over during their ride!!! Thank you everyone, I'll have to teach my kids what to do to help before a ride.
I tried cutting the screws today, cover fit great, but after a 2 hour ride i lost 3 of them. I cut them about in half, so I'll order some more and just cut the tips off this time.

Great! I'll check it out. Yesterday, we had to put the baby on a blanket in the yard while my wife held the paraphernalia for me.
