What is the maximum PSI for the Pista Plus?

Can I rebuild this pump myself?
Yes, the Pista Plus is designed to be fully rebuildable with replacement parts available for the leather plunger and seals.
Does it work with tubeless tires?
Yes, the smooth, efficient stroke allows you to seat most tubeless tire setups effectively.
What are the advantages of the leather plunger?
The Italian leather plunger provides superior durability, creates a better seal over time, and is more sustainable than synthetic rubber alternatives.

Troubleshooting
Pump is hard to press down
Check if the valve core is stuck or if the pump is hitting maximum pressure. If the resistance persists, the leather plunger may need lubrication.
Air is leaking during inflation
Ensure the chuck is seated properly on the valve. Inspect the rubber gasket inside the chuck for wear and replace if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the Pista Plus is straightforward; simply ensure the hose is securely docked when not in use. The pump is compatible with both Presta and Schrader valves out of the box. To maintain the pump's legendary longevity, periodically check the hose for kinks and ensure the chuck seals are free of debris. Because the Pista Plus is designed for rebuildability, you can replace the internal leather plunger washer every few years if you notice a decrease in pumping efficiency. Store the pump in a dry, temperate environment to protect the wooden handle and internal metal components.
