| 311.1 | Pump it up | ULTRA::SEIDEN | | Mon May 11 1987 18:48 | 16 |
| I recently shelled out the 20 clams for the HP X3 and, unfortunately,
seem to be getting too much opportunity to use it.
While it performs fine, it's the first frame pump I've owned, so
I cannot to compare it to any others. As far as saving effort,
it still doesn't compare with the compressor at your nearest gas
station.
The "X" setting on the pump allows it to mount to the frame via
the pump braze ons. It sits very securely, and has yet to
accidentally dislodge, despite numerous potholes. Even better,
it can be quickly removed (and then remounted) in flight, should
you need to play any canine polo. Unfortunately, the pump is a
bit too light to do proper damage. But the dog, not being a reader
of these notes, doesn't know that.

| 311.2 | see note 115 | NOVA::FISHER | | Tue May 12 1987 07:31 | 11 |
| No other note on pumps? Note 115 and its 22 replies are a starter.
I started to write my opinion of Zefal HPX3 when I realized that
I already had, in note 115.7. Reading that note, however, I see
that I said it was an HP3. It was an HPX3. Great pump, unless
it breaks. I saw another guy who showed me broken parts from one
last week. He asked me if I could do anything with them. (no was
the reply.)

| 311.3 | Don't like spring lock feature. | AITG::HUBERMAN | | Tue May 12 1987 10:11 | 3 |
| I find the spring lock feature annoying. The spring absorbs the
shock to you wrist. When I use the spring lock feature, I get an
unpleasant shock on each stroke.

I find it slightly annoying at low pressures (<40 psi), but I only use
it there after a flat, so that doesn't bother me. By the time I'm at
80-100 psi, where all the work is, the air pressure is more than
enough spring for me.
re .1 I agree, the X is easier to pump with, and comes off the bike
accidentally much less often than any other pump I've used. I've
mainly used Zephal pumps as they've served me well.

| 311.5 | BTW plastic pieces replaceable | LILAC::MAYO | | Tue May 12 1987 13:29 | 4 |
| Not a real answer but....those plastic pieces can be replaced easily.
You can purchase some at your shop for a couple of nickels or they
might even give them to you, or your friend who has it now.

| 311.6 | both are comparable | CSMADM::SCHWABE | | Mon May 18 1987 10:34 | 5 |
| I own an Hp and my wife owns an HPx. Both perform well. The reason
my wife went for the HPx was because the shorter HP would not fit
against the seat tube on her Shogun 500. Buyer beware when the the
catalogues say that the pump will fit 19" frames! The HPx fits well,
and hasn't fallen off yet.

| 311.7 | | RGB::JIM | Jim Pappas | Thu Sep 17 1987 11:34 | 4 |
| I have seen Zefal HPX3 and HPX4 models. Is there a functional
difference or size change?
