Product Information
Full details
The Bontrager TLR Flash Charger Floor Pump is an essential tool for cyclists who frequently maintain tubeless setups, providing the high-pressure burst needed to seat tubeless tires without requiring an expensive or noisy air compressor. It is ideal for home mechanics and commuters who prioritize quick, efficient tire installation; however, users should note that the pressurized chamber requires a bit more physical effort to fill compared to a standard floor pump.

FAQs
Does this pump work with standard inner tubes?
Yes, it functions as a standard floor pump when the toggle is set to the inflate mode, making it compatible with both tubes and tubeless setups.
How much pressure can the chamber hold?
The chamber is designed to hold up to 160 psi.
Do I need to leave the pump connected after the burst?
No, once the bead has seated, you can continue to pump normally or disconnect the pump if the tire has reached your desired pressure.
Is the pump head serviceable?
Yes, the head assembly can be maintained; contact your local Trek retailer if you need replacement parts for the internal seals.
Can this be used for fat bike tires?
While it can inflate fat bike tires, the small volume of the chamber may require multiple charge cycles for larger tire casings.
Troubleshooting
Air is leaking from the pump head during charging
Ensure the pump head is seated fully and squarely on the valve, and check that the rubber seal inside the head is free of debris.
The tire bead will not seat even after the chamber is used
Remove the Presta valve core before inflating to allow a higher volume of air to enter the tire rapidly, then reinstall the core once seated.
Gauge needle is flickering or inaccurate
Check the hose connection for any obstructions and ensure the valve is not damaged or bent.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure the pump head is locked securely onto your valve stem. If using Presta, ensure the valve core is fully unscrewed. The auto-select head works best when pressed firmly onto the valve. For maintenance, keep the alloy barrel clean of grit and dirt to ensure the plunger seal remains effective. Store the pump in a dry area away from direct sunlight to prevent premature degradation of the rubber hose. Periodically check that the base bolts are tight to maintain the stability of the three-arm structure.
