Product Information
Full details
The Topeak TwinHead Upgrade Kit is designed for cyclists and home mechanics who want to modernize or repair their existing workshop floor pump. Its primary benefit is the versatile dual-valve head that eliminates the need for adapters when switching between Presta and Schrader valves, though users should confirm their current pump's hose diameter matches the included M9 fittings before purchase.

FAQs
Will this fit any floor pump?
It is compatible with most pumps that use an M9 x 1.0mm thread. Please verify your current hose thread size before purchasing.
Does it work with Dunlop valves?
The TwinHead is designed primarily for Presta and Schrader valves.
Is the hose replaceable?
The kit includes a full 80cm hose, which is intended to replace your existing hose entirely.
What material is the head made of?
The locking lever is made of durable aluminum, while the head body is constructed from high-quality engineering-grade plastic.
Does this require special tools to install?
You will generally only need a small wrench to secure the M9 fitting to your pump hose.
Troubleshooting
Air leaking during inflation
Ensure the thumb-lock lever is pushed down fully and the head is pressed firmly onto the valve stem.
Head will not fit the pump hose
Verify that your pump hose uses an M9 x 1.0mm thread; if not, you may require a different adapter.
Difficulty switching between valve types
Ensure no dirt or debris is lodged inside the dual-valve ports; clean with a burst of compressed air or a soft brush.
Pros and Cons
Pros

Cons
- Requires manual installation
- Only compatible with M9 threaded pump hoses

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the kit, first remove the old hose head assembly from your existing floor pump. Select the appropriate one of the three included M9 x 1.0mm connectors that fits your pump's hose thread. Ensure the threads are aligned correctly to prevent cross-threading before tightening securely with a wrench. To maintain the unit, keep the rubber seals inside the head clean of road debris and grit. If the head becomes difficult to lock, a light application of silicone-based lubricant on the internal rubber gasket can restore a smooth operation. Avoid excessive force when using the aluminum lever to ensure the longevity of the locking mechanism.
