Product Information
Full details
The Flextail Tiny Tyre Pump ACS is an essential tool for dedicated cyclists, bikepackers, and commuters who need a lightweight, high-performance inflation solution on the go. Its primary benefit is the combination of rapid 120PSI inflation and a built-in safety taillight, all packed into a 153g frame that fits easily into a jersey pocket. The main caveat for users is that, while highly portable, its small capacity is optimized for road and gravel tires rather than high-volume mountain bike setups.

FAQs
Can this pump be used with Presta and Schrader valves?
Yes, the device includes necessary nozzles and adapters to accommodate both major valve types.
How long does it take to charge?
The pump uses a USB-C interface; charging times vary based on the power source, but typical full charge is achieved within a few hours.
Is the taillight bright enough for nighttime riding?
Yes, the integrated taillight is designed for visibility and is suitable for keeping you visible to others during low-light conditions.
What does the IPX4 rating mean?
IPX4 indicates that the pump is protected against splashing water from any angle, making it reliable for use in light rain.
Will this work on mountain bike tires?
While it can inflate them, it is primarily optimized for high-pressure road tires; larger mountain bike tires may drain the battery quickly due to the high volume required.
Troubleshooting
The pump does not detect tire pressure
Ensure the hose is threaded tightly onto the valve and that the valve core is not obstructed by debris.
Pump shuts off before reaching target pressure
Check if the battery level is low; recharge the unit fully via USB-C before attempting further inflation.
Taillight will not turn on
Verify the battery charge level and ensure the light function is activated via the control button separate from the inflation mode.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure the unit is fully charged via the provided USB-C cable. Select the appropriate nozzle adapter from the included kit to match your tire's valve type (Presta or Schrader).
- Usage: Thread the hose securely onto the valve, power on the device, and set your desired PSI using the interface. Once the pump clicks off, unscrew the hose carefully.
- Care: Store the pump in a dry area. While it is IPX4 water-resistant, avoid submerging the device in water. Clean the nozzle threads periodically to prevent debris buildup, and ensure the rubber seal on the hose remains clean and intact for an airtight connection.
