SuperPista Ultimate Hiro Edition

C'è poco da dire... TOP!!!La utilizzo da molti anni ormai... sempre perfetta: resistente, duratura e piacevole da utilizzare. La utilizzo per la MTB con il secondo manometro a bassa pressione. Il manometro a bassa pressione ci permette di gonfiare e vedere bene fino al al decimo di bar per cui massima precisione anche per le pressioni che si utilizzano in MTB 1-2 bar. Ho entrambi i raccordi Hiro e presta chunk quest'ultimo il mio preferito. Ho avuto un piccolo problema prontamente risolto dal servizio di assistenza Silca. Consigliata!

We all know what a struggle it is mounting tubeless tyres on the rim. Then, getting the bead to set and the tyres to be air-tight and inflate, is another problem. With my New Old Stock (Made in Italy) SuperPista with a Hiro chuck, it involved furiously pumping to get the 650 x 47 Vittoria Terreno Dry tubeless tyres mounted air-tight on the Fulcrum gravel wheels. With the Ultimate pump, two or three strong pumps and the bead goes "pop" air-tight. Then several more pumps and the bead is fully seated and the tyre fully inflated. As I said before, Silca needs to put the Yellow 0-60 psi low pressure gauge for the Ultimate back into production. Everyone who owns a Gravel bike and has an Ultimate pump will buy it. -- Ted B.

I already have two of the old "Made in Italy" Silca track pumps, a Pista which I've owned for decades, and a New Old Stock SuperPista which I bought a couple of years ago. On the SuperPista I replaced the original plastic pressure gauge with one of your metal gauges and fitted the superb Hiro chuck. This will be continued to be used on the road bike with 700 x 25 tubeless tyres. For the just bought Ultimate pump, I found a bike shop in Ireland that had in stock one of the many years out-of production Silca Yellow 0-60 psi gauges made for this Ultimate pump. Since the Ultimate was first introduced, and both the Red and Yellow gauges were both last in production, what has come along big time? GRAVEL! For the gravel Pinarello with Campagnolo Ekar running Vittoria tubeless 650 x 47 tyres (we're talking a Ferrari quality bike!), the Ultimate pump with the Yellow low pressure gauge completes the package. When you do the next production run of the Ultimate pump, you need to also put back into production the Yellow 0-60 psi gauge as there will be plenty of customer demand for it.

Its that nice and superb craftsmanship! Never have a seen a pump anywhere close to being built this well. It is on display in my PAIN CAVE where I use it from time to time to inflate the tires for my bike on the turbo smart trainer. I have a regular pista pump for traveling and everyday use but couldn't pass up a Silcs that I could use forever and hand to future generations. I purchased from Wiggle for around $400.
