FAQs
What types of tyre valves does the pump work with?
The pump features an auto-select valve, meaning it is designed to work with both Presta (common on road bikes) and Schrader (common on mountain bikes and hybrids) valves without needing manual switching.
How do I attach the pump to my bike?
The kit includes a mounting bracket for the pump. This bracket typically attaches to the frame using your bicycle's bottle cage bosses, allowing you to carry the pump securely on your bike.
What is the maximum pressure the pump can achieve?
The dual-action mini pump can inflate tyres up to 120 PSI.
What tools are included in the multi-tool?
The 8-function folding multi-tool includes 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, and 8mm hex keys, as well as a flat head screwdriver and a cross head screwdriver.
How many patches are included in the glueless patch kit?
The glueless patch kit contains 6 self-adhesive patches and 1 piece of sandpaper for preparing the inner tube surface.
What is the capacity of the seat pack?
The seat pack is designed to hold essential small items such as the multi-tool, tyre levers, patch kit, and potentially a spare inner tube or energy bar. It is not designed for larger items.
Is this kit suitable for mountain biking and road cycling?
Yes, the kit is suitable for general cycling, including both mountain biking and road cycling, as it provides essential tools for maintenance and minor repairs common to both disciplines.
Troubleshooting
Pump not inflating effectively.
Ensure the auto-select valve is correctly positioned for your tyre valve type (Presta or Schrader). Check that the hose connection is secure. Inspect the pump head seal for damage or debris.
Multi-tool feels loose or wobbly.
Ensure all folding tool sections are fully extended and locked into place. If individual hex keys or screwdrivers are loose, this may indicate wear and the tool might need replacement.
Seat pack straps are not secure.
Re-position the straps to ensure they are gripping tightly around the seat post and saddle rails. If the straps are worn, consider a replacement seat pack.
Patches not adhering to the inner tube.
Ensure the area of the inner tube is thoroughly cleaned and roughened with the sandpaper before applying the patch. Press firmly for at least 30 seconds.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Pump Mounting: The dual-action mini pump includes a mounting bracket. This typically attaches to your bicycle's bottle cage bosses using standard bolts (often included with the bike frame or sold separately). Ensure the bracket is securely fastened to prevent rattling.
Seat Pack Attachment: The seat pack features universal attachment straps. These should be secured around your bicycle's seat post and saddle rails. Adjust the straps for a snug fit to prevent movement during rides.
Bottle Cage Installation: The aluminium bottle cage can be mounted to the bottle cage bosses located on your bicycle's frame or sometimes under the down tube. Use appropriate bolts (usually M5) to secure it firmly.
Multi-Tool & Levers: These items are designed to be stored within the seat pack. Keep them clean and dry.
Glueless Patch Kit: Store the patches and sandpaper in their original packaging within the seat pack. Ensure the patch area on the inner tube is clean and smooth using the sandpaper before applying a patch.
Care: Wipe down all components with a damp cloth as needed. Avoid harsh cleaning chemicals. Periodically check that the pump seals are clean and free from debris for optimal performance. Store components in a dry place when not in use.
