if it was a shop take it back as if they are selling them they should have ga spares and have techs
if not find one who is a tech for ga and ask them

fair, as the other guy said, if you got it from a shop send it back.
If not, get it to me (town centre) and I'll have a look.
Phoned up and got told to take the fill nipple off and check the pin wasn't bent, but now I'm having problems actually removing the fill nipple.
It just takes an allen key in it but I can't actually un-do it.
It is completely emptied. Is it just my womanly strength? So far managed to just bend the allen key and thats about it.

You cannot use a spanner on the GA nipples as they are so low profile there is no room for the spanner flats. You need a 4mm or 7/16 allen key to remove it which is inserted into the nipple hole, and they are threadlocked in so very tight to remove, plus I think they are made of aluminium as our Magnacaps don't stick to them so if you use the wrong sized allen key it'll be easy to damage the nipple as its soft metal so be careful.
Heres a picture of the GA nipple on the right and a standard fill nipple on the left so you can see the difference. The 5 pence in the middle gives you a good idea of how low profile the nipple is.

I'll be taking a look at it for you at the weekend. When you spoke to Dan earlier he was thinking the nipple had a standard pin in like the one on the left of the picture which can bend under high pressure, the bend may be 100ths of an inch and not obvious to the naked eye, but enough to prevent a good seal. The pin on the GA nipple is very unlikely to be bent, I would say its most likely a slight bit of dirt in the nipple shaft or a damaged o-ring. Either way, i'll get you back up and running Saturday.
