SKS Airmenius pump head grommet (Schraeder) replacement ideas

Have an "Airmenius" pump and the schraeder head grommet's starting to lose its luster. Turns out they're sold out everywhere I've looked online, including SKS site.

Anyone have any ideas on replacement sizing? Maybe something random on amazon or other (auto/moto) parts sites?

Thanks for any suggestions.

Call them if you can. I needed some item a few years ago for mine and they just sent it to me.

Not this part, SKU is out of stock everywhere including SKS and Germany websites.

Found a shop in Canada that has 'em and hopefully they can ship.

Meanwhile...a new head on Amazon was $12 so, bought that instead.

Thanks for the tips.

54ny77,
Can’t help with that, if the shop was in Toronto area I might’ve been able to get it and send it to you.

Had a similar issue with mine, and just ended up buying the alternate head from SKS.

I don't think they make those heads or the parts to them anymore because they aren't terribly reliable.

Honestly, there the same as every SKS product I have - poorly designed and quick to fail. They are one of the few cycling brands that I have wholly sworn off.
