I recently got a Lezyne floor pump. When I screw it onto the valve, when the tire is at a fairly high pressure, say, 115 pounds, it doesn't take air. What happens is I push down on the pump and it feels blocked. No air goes into the tire. If I force it the gauge spins all the way around. Sometimes if I fiddle with it a bit I can eventually get it to accept air.
I can get it to fill if I drop the tire pressure down to about 80 pounds. At this point I can proceed with pumping up the tire.
I'd much rather just top off the tire with two or three strokes after it has not been used for a few days than drop the pressure down so far. I assume I'm doing something wrong and would like to know if anyone has an idea what it is. Thanks.
