Product Information
Full details
The Topeak Roadie DA Pump is designed for cyclists needing a fast and reliable way to inflate tires, ideal for pre-ride checks or emergency flats. Its primary advantage is the dual-action technology, which significantly speeds up inflation. A potential drawback for some might be its compact size, which may require more physical effort for full inflation compared to larger pumps.

FAQs
What type of valves does the Topeak Roadie DA Pump work with?
The Roadie DA Pump is designed exclusively for Presta valves.
How much pressure can this pump achieve?
The pump has a maximum capacity of 120psi (8 bar).
Can I mount this pump to my bike?
Yes, a side-mount bracket is typically included, allowing you to attach it to your bottle cage mounts.
Is it suitable for mountain bike tires?
No, it is designed for Presta valves, which are standard on road bikes and not typically used on mountain bikes that use Schrader valves.
How does the 'Dual-Action' technology work?
Dual-Action means the pump delivers air not only on the push stroke but also on the pull stroke, effectively doubling the amount of air delivered with each full cycle.
How often should I clean the pump?
It's recommended to keep the pump head clean using the dust cap. Wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth as needed.
What is the weight of the Roadie DA Pump?
The pump weighs approximately 95g.
Troubleshooting
Pump not inflating or inflating slowly
Ensure the pump head is securely and fully attached to the Presta valve. Check that the thumb lock lever is fully engaged. Verify the valve itself is open and functioning correctly. Inspect the pump head for any debris.
Air is leaking from the pump head during inflation
Make sure the thumb lock lever is completely in the locked position. Check the rubber seal within the pump head for damage or wear and replace if necessary. Ensure the valve stem is not damaged.
Pump feels stiff or difficult to operate
The internal seal may require a small amount of silicone lubricant. Ensure the pump is clean, as dirt can cause stiffness. If the issue persists, the internal mechanism may need servicing.
Thumb lock lever is difficult to engage
Ensure the pump head is pushed fully onto the valve. Try wiggling the pump head slightly while engaging the lever. Clean any debris around the lever mechanism.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Roadie DA Pump comes ready to use. It can be carried in a jersey pocket, saddlebag, or attached to the bike frame using the included side-mount bracket. Ensure the bracket is securely fastened to your bottle cage mounts.
Compatibility: This pump is designed specifically for Presta valves. It is not compatible with Schrader valves found on most mountain bikes and some hybrids.
Care:
- Keep the Head Clean: Always use the integrated dust cap when the pump is not in use to prevent dirt and grit from entering the pump head.
- Regular Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the pump with a damp cloth as needed. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.
- Lubrication: Occasionally, a very small amount of silicone lubricant on the pump's internal seal can help maintain smooth operation, but use sparingly.
