FAQs
What type of valves does this pump work with?
This Truflo Air Lock Shock Pump is designed specifically for Schrader valves, commonly found on bicycle suspension forks and rear shocks.
How do I prevent air loss when removing the pump?
The pump features a two-stage non-leak valve attachment. Ensure it is fully engaged before pumping. When removing, a quick and decisive twist should minimize air loss. Practice can help optimize this.
Can I use this pump for inflating bicycle tires?
While it fits Schrader valves, this pump is optimized for the high-pressure, low-volume needs of suspension. For standard tire inflation, a dedicated bike tire pump is recommended for efficiency.
How precise is the pressure gauge?
The dial pressure gauge provides precise readings for accurate suspension tuning. For critical setups, it's always good practice to familiarize yourself with its accuracy.
What is the weight of the pump?
The Truflo Air Lock Shock Pump weighs 152g, making it a lightweight option for carrying on rides.
Does the pump come with any warranty?
Please refer to the product packaging or the manufacturer's website for specific warranty information, as terms can vary.
Troubleshooting
Pump not holding pressure
Ensure the pump head is securely attached to the Schrader valve. Check for any air leaks around the valve connection or pump head. Verify the two-stage valve is properly engaged.
Gauge is inaccurate or not responding
Check if the gauge is clogged with dirt. If the issue persists, the gauge may need recalibration or service. Consult the user manual for calibration instructions or contact customer support.
Air bleed button is stuck
Gently try to wiggle the button to dislodge any debris. Avoid excessive force. If it remains stuck, contact customer support.
Difficult to attach pump head to valve
Ensure the Schrader valve core is clean and not obstructed. Try a slight twisting motion when attaching the pump head. Make sure you are not accidentally pressing the bleed button during attachment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the pump is clean and free of debris.
- Identify the Schrader valve on your suspension fork or rear shock.
