How long is the pump when retracted?
The pump measures approximately 205 mm in length.
Can I use this for road bike tires?

Does the pump come with a frame mount?
The pump is designed for compact storage in a jersey pocket or bike bag; check individual retailer kits for included frame mounting accessories.
Troubleshooting
Pump head will not click onto the valve
Ensure the valve is fully clean of mud or debris and check that you are using a compatible Schwalbe Clik Valve.
Air leaking during inflation
Check that the pump head is pushed fully onto the valve until it clicks. Verify the hose is not kinked.
Resistance is too high to pump
The pump is rated for 73 psi; if you are attempting to exceed this pressure, the internal resistance will increase significantly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use the pump, simply pull the hose out from the handle, align the pump head with your Schwalbe Clik Valve, and push until you hear a secure click. To remove, follow the manufacturer's instructions for the Clik Valve release. Keep the pump clean and free of debris, specifically around the CLIK TEC head to ensure a perfect seal. It is recommended to store the pump in a dry bag or frame mount to keep the hose mechanism free of grit. Avoid using lubricants on the pump head as this can interfere with the click-on mechanism.
