![]() The 508cc aluminum barrel forces enough air with each push to seat most tubeless tires, and gets an already-seated one to 20 PSI with very little effort. What defines this as a mountain bike pump, though, is its focus on volume. One of the few metal pieces-the base-is nicely shaped, with plenty of foot space and a wide enough stance to keep the pump stable, and grip tape keeps it tacky underfoot. But realistically, the plastic parts will probably outlive the wear components several times over. Utilitarianism is prioritized throughout, with plastic used just about everywhere aside from the base and barrel. ![]() Wood or metal would be nice at this price point, but I’d bet that placing the bleed valve on the head would be much more costly with either of those materials. Speaking of, the handle is plastic, with an ergonomic winged shape. This latest Air Tool MTB, like its predecessor, puts the bleed button right where your hands already are, on the top of the handle. Maximum air pressure is limited by your compressor’s capabilities.Bleed valves have also become standard issue for all except the most basic pumps, but far too many position the release valve on the head-not exactly the most convenient spot. High-pressure hose for easy access on any wheel.Īir compressor and air hose with quick release connector required for use – not included. Cast alloy pistol grip handle with Nickel-plated finish. Rubber pressure gauge housing for shock protection. Replaceable I/M compressor quick-release attachment. Quick lever release minimizes loss at disconnect. Engages any valve with a simple flip of the lever. Polymer Presta / Schrader auto-select head. Copper coil mechanism provides good accuracy. Prestaflator is different… a high quality, serviceable tool… designed, built and warranted for use on Bicycles. Our R&D has created a proven design that we have consistently improved-upon through years of experience. We are a full-line Bicycle tools company providing the Cycling industry globally with world-class tool designs. Prestacycle is the originator of the Prestaflator. These are not real brands that can stand behind your product. It’s high enough to inflate any daily-use tire, but not excessive so the gauge is easy to read.īeware of fakes and cheap imitations sold by one-product sellers. The dial has a bicycle-specific pressure range of 12 Bar/174 PSI. The pressure gauge has a durable steel case covered with a rubber shock housing and offers accuracy with +/- 2%. Smooth alloy clamps on the hose are more comfortable for use. It’s more flexible than rubber hoses and is rated for 300 PSI of continuous use. We start with a cast Alloy body and give it a Nickel plated finish. Only top quality materials are used for it’s components. Prestaflator is engineered specifically for the needs of bicycles and bicyclists. Quick lever release minimizes air loss at disconnect. Presta / Schrader auto-select head engages with a simple flip of the lever. The ABS 1 Pro Flip-Thread Chuckone side for presta, the other for Schradersecures tightly to valve. Designed for Bicycle Mountain & Road tires with a wide range of pressure requirements. The dial pressure gauge lets you follow your progress visually. The Prestaflator ECO is designed with a medium flow trigger valve providing a perfect balance for inflation and seating tubeless tires. Bullet-proof high-pressure, disc-compatible chuck for high-pressure situations. Male Schrader thread fits into any Schrader chuck, or use SILCA Thread-On Schrader Adapter to fit a bare hose Adjustable gasket pre-load allows for a custom fit on any valve as well as compensation for gasket wear Uses SILCA 254 High-Tech Elastomer gasket Can effectively seal on valve stems as short as 10mm! Full metal construction, guaranteed for 25 years and covered by SILCAShield So Josh set out to improve the design and make it available to cyclists everywhere. Years ago while Josh was working with the Team CSC at the Dauphine Libere, he noticed one of their mechanics using the most amazing little chuck to manage the disc wheel inflation. Unlike anything he had seen before, it was all metal and used a 'lollipop' lever on the side to lock onto the valve stems in disc wheels. The mechanic explained that these were made in Japan and were coveted by all the Euro-Pro mechanics due to their scarcity.
