| I have the frame for a Clyde of Dagenham bicycle. Unable to find any info on the net for this company. It has great provenance -- was purchased in Canada mid-1950s. Does anyone have any information on this company? All the original paint, decals. Looking for assistance on value, etc. Will give details. by: 24.5.166.227 |
| My pump ain't pumping. Any clues on how to renew the seal inside? I've got a chrome fit-between-the-pump-pips model stamped "Made in England" on the top. Cheers, Chris Oakland, CA by: 66.81.114.36 |
| Pull it apart...remove the old leather diaphragm and go to an old world plumber to get one the same size & thickness or cut down from a larger one. Totally smear the leather in grease before reforming it into the cup and screw back together. The size is critical by: 70.51.146.180 |
| A plumber? Do water pumps use the same diaphram? I've also had success getting an old pump working just by regreasing and reshaping the existing diaphram. Might try that first. -Bryan by: 172.162.246.17 |
| I had to buy a box of blumels washers out of England to repair my pump.Took for ever to get a box on Ebay! Someone should offer these.Wonder if the rubber washers in those cheap Huffy Plastic pumps would work?Guess someone else will have to be desparate and find out---I got my supply---sam by: 68.93.141.216 |
| The leather is similar in thickness and quality to those used in hand-pumps. Any thick hide should work...an old brooks saddle perhaps? Hmmm by: 70.51.125.58 |
