WOW saddle airbag adjustments

[Gorseyhorsey]

Hi, I would like some advice from those who adjust their own WOW saddles. I have an older one that came with my current mare and have recently found out that the only fitter covering my area is giving up, so I would like to be able to top up the air myself until we can find another fitter. I have bought a pump the same as the wow one but I’m a bit confused as to the valve I need, I’m sure I read on here that you can get something suitable on eBay but I can’t find one to fit the tiny air tubes on the saddle, any pointers would be much appreciated thanks.

I think ycbm on here adjusts her own wow saddles so hopefully she will be along soon with some advice.

The WOW valve on the new pumps appears to be bespoke. I've just bought a new pump after my last one gave up.

Oh I bought a bike pump off eBay that looks the same…

The bike pump is the same but the valve is bespoke so they can charge what they like. I did use fish tank valves a number of years back but its fiddly and in the end I couldn't get the connectors to bring the size right for the tube on the airbag. You could try contacting WOW to see if they will sell you just the valve, but I would tell them you've got a WOW pump and managed to lose the valve, not that you bought a cheap bike pump.

Ah ok so that’s a different bit to the duel inflator valve that they sell? I guess I should have just bitten the bullet and bought the kit!
