Product Information
Full details
The Lezyne ABS Flex Hose is an essential accessory for cyclists seeking a reliable, secure connection between their hand pump and tire valves. Designed for both Presta and Schrader compatibility, this hose eliminates the stress on valve stems during inflation while providing a thread-on air-tight seal. It is an ideal upgrade for those who frequently use hand pumps, though it requires users to carry the hose separately rather than having an integrated pump-head system.

FAQs
Can I use this with any brand of pump?
This hose is specifically designed for Lezyne pumps utilizing the Flex Hose system.
What is the primary benefit of the ABS button?
The ABS button releases pressure in the hose, making it easier to remove from the valve and preventing accidental removal of valve cores.
How do I switch between Presta and Schrader?
Unscrew the connector head and reverse the internal rubber fitting to the side corresponding to your valve type.
Does this hose handle high pressure?
Yes, it is designed to handle high-pressure inflation required for road bike tires.
Will this damage my valve stem?
No, the flexible design reduces the stress typically applied to valve stems during the pumping process.
Is it compatible with removable valve cores?
Yes, and the ABS system is specifically designed to make using them much safer.
Troubleshooting
Air is leaking from the connection point
Ensure the hose is threaded securely onto the valve and that the internal rubber gasket is not misaligned.
Difficult to remove hose after inflation
Press and hold the ABS button to release pressure from the hose before attempting to unthread it from the valve.
Hose does not fit the valve type
Unscrew the head of the hose and flip the internal reversible valve seal to match your specific valve type (Presta or Schrader).
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Secure thread-on connection prevents air leaks
- Air Bleed System (ABS) prevents unthreading removable valve cores
- Protects valve stems from stress during inflation
- Compatible with both Presta and Schrader valves
- Compact and lightweight for easy transport
Cons
- Requires manual reversal to switch between valve types
- External hose component that must be kept with the pump
- Threaded connection can be slower to attach than push-on heads
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the hose, simply thread the appropriate side onto your Lezyne pump and the other onto the tire valve. To switch between Presta and Schrader, unscrew the hose end and reverse the rubber fitting inside the connector.
Care Instructions:
- Inspect the rubber seals periodically for cracks or debris.
- Keep the threads clean of grit and dirt to ensure a smooth connection.
- Store in a cool, dry place to prevent premature aging of the flexible hose material.
- Do not over-tighten the hose onto the pump or valve; hand-tight is sufficient to create an air-tight seal.
