Product Information
Full details
The Topeak Pocket Rocket is an essential, high-pressure mini pump designed for road cyclists who require a reliable tool for quick roadside repairs. This compact and lightweight device excels at inflating tires to high pressures of up to 160 psi, ensuring you can get back on the road quickly after a flat. While it is highly efficient, users should note that the compact size requires a higher stroke count compared to larger frame pumps to achieve full tire inflation.

FAQs
Can I use this pump for mountain bike tires?
While it can inflate mountain bike tires, it is optimized for high-pressure road tires. You will need more strokes to reach the required volume for larger MTB tires.
Does this pump come with a pressure gauge?
No, the Topeak Pocket Rocket is a compact, minimalist pump and does not feature an integrated pressure gauge.
How do I switch the valve head type?
Unscrew the end cap on the pump head, remove the internal rubber gasket and plastic spacer, flip them, and re-assemble according to the valve type markings.
Will this pump fit on any bike frame?
The included side-mount bracket is designed to fit standard water bottle cage mounting points on most bike frames.
Is the pump body made of metal or plastic?
The Topeak Pocket Rocket features a machine-cut, durable barrel.
What is the maximum pressure this pump can handle?
The pump is rated for a maximum pressure of 160 psi.
Troubleshooting
Air is leaking while pumping
Check that the pump head is fully seated on the valve and the locking lever is engaged. Also, verify that the rubber gasket inside the head is correctly oriented for your valve type.
Pump is hard to stroke
The tire pressure may be reaching the limit, or the internal piston may need light maintenance. Ensure the valve is not blocked and check the piston seal.
Cannot fit pump to valve
Ensure the pump head has been reversed correctly to match the specific valve type (Presta, Schrader, or Dunlop).

- Capable of high pressure (160 psi)

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the pump, use the provided side-mount bracket to secure it to your bike frame's mounting holes. The bracket holds the pump firmly in place even over rough terrain.
For compatibility, the pump head is reversible. To switch between valve types (Presta/Schrader/Dunlop), unscrew the cap on the pump head, flip the internal rubber gasket and the plastic spacer, then re-tighten.
For care, keep the pump clean by ensuring the dust cap is always engaged when not in use. Periodically check that the head lever moves freely. If the pump action feels sluggish, a very small drop of light machine oil on the internal piston can restore smoothness, but avoid using excessive lubricant that could attract grit.
