Troubleshooting
Inner tube won't inflate
Ensure the Presta valve core is fully unscrewed. Check that the pump head is securely attached to the valve and that the valve itself is not blocked.
Inner tube loses air quickly
Check for punctures by listening for hissing sounds or submerging the inflated tube in water to find bubbles. Inspect the tire and rim for sharp objects or damage. Ensure the valve core is properly tightened.
Pinch flat during installation
