FAQs
What type of valves does this adapter work with?
This adapter allows pumps with an AV (Schrader) valve connection to work with CLIK VALVE valves.
Do I need this if my pump already has a multi-valve head?
If your pump head can already connect directly to both Schrader and Presta valves, and you are encountering CLIK VALVE systems, you may still need this adapter as CLIK VALVE technology is specific.
How easy is it to install?
Installation is very simple; you just plug the adapter into the AV valve connector of your pump head.
Can I use this with Presta valves?
No, this adapter is specifically designed to convert an AV (Schrader) connection for use with CLIK VALVE systems. It does not adapt for Presta valves.
Will this adapter improve my pump's pressure rating?
No, the adapter does not affect the pressure capabilities of your pump. It only facilitates connection to a different valve type.
Is it durable?
Yes, the adapter is made from robust materials designed for a long service life.
Troubleshooting
Pump does not inflate after connecting adapter.
Ensure the adapter is securely and fully inserted into the pump head. Check that the CLIK VALVE on the tire is functioning correctly and is not blocked. Try re-seating the pump head onto the CLIK VALVE.
Air is leaking around the adapter connection.
Verify the adapter is fully seated in the pump head. Inspect the adapter and pump head connection for any debris or damage that might prevent a seal.
Adapter is difficult to attach to the pump head.
Ensure you are using a pump head with a standard AV (Schrader) connection. Check for any obstructions within the pump head's valve port. Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant if needed, but avoid excessive force.
