Re: Tubeless pump?
Have same punp.amd agree with all of that. Unscrewing your valves is a lezyne pump design issue l. only.take it with my + tyres for the volume and would not expect it to re bead any tyre. You can get a push on presta chuck ( works well)...but if you do it needs to be stored separately from the pump ...

Re: What you done t' your bike today
Great for road . Off road it seems to just give up very rapidly. Ie fine at start of a local.loop shot after 10 miles ( still use it but mainly for start of an ITT )Used a wax lube on my chain, time will tell, but it's smooth at the moment.
If yours works better let me know what brand it is
