Someone in Chicago to help with Maplenoll Ariadne?


I have a Maplenoll Ariadne with the Signature kit with scud air chamber. My air handling is not good because I can hear leaks at the junctions of the hoses. Is there someone in the area who could help me with this? I tried buying hose clamps at Home Depot but they are too large. Any help would be sincerely appreciated and compensated. I have both the original pump and another quiet pump. Bob

I had an Ariadne for 10 years. Took me 6 months to finally get it working perfectly. The hoses are always a concern along with the pump. Use small plastic ties like for bundling wires together or a wire by a hose in your car. Slip the part through the looking part at a point just below the fat end the tube goes on. Tighten it enough so it holds the tube on securely. I did this at all tube ends and never had a leak or hose blow off after. Soundwise, I miss the Ariadne. That straight line tracking arm makes some beautiful sound.
