FAQs
What types of bicycle valves does this pump work with?
The Oxford Airflow Duo Resin Mini-Pump features a twin head designed to work with both Presta and Schrader valves.
What is the maximum air pressure this pump can achieve?
The maximum inflation pressure for this pump is 80 psi.
Can I mount this pump on my bike?
Yes, a universal mounting bracket is included, allowing you to attach the pump to your bicycle frame.
How do I switch between Presta and Schrader valves?
The pump has a twin head, meaning one side is for Presta and the other for Schrader. Simply use the side that matches your valve type without needing to disassemble any parts.
Is this pump suitable for high-pressure road bike tires?
While it can inflate tires up to 80 psi, it may require more effort and time for very high-pressure tires compared to dedicated high-pressure pumps. It is best suited for top-ups and moderate inflation.
How should I clean and maintain the pump?
Wipe the pump with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals. Periodically check the valve head seals for wear and clean any debris to ensure optimal performance.
What is the pump made of?
The pump is constructed from durable resin.
Troubleshooting
Pump not inflating tire
Ensure the pump head is fully seated on the valve. Check that the thumb lock lever is securely engaged. Verify the correct side of the twin head is used for the valve type. Inspect the valve itself for any obstructions.
Air leaking from the valve connection
Remove the pump head, clean the valve stem and the pump head's sealing area. Reattach the pump head firmly and ensure the thumb lock lever is fully engaged. Check the rubber seals inside the pump head for damage.
Difficulty reaching desired pressure
Ensure the pump is functioning correctly by checking for air leaks. For larger tires or when inflating from very low pressure, multiple pumping sessions may be required. Ensure the T-handle is being used with smooth, full strokes.
Mounting bracket feels loose
Check that the straps or bolts securing the bracket to the frame are tightened correctly. Ensure the pump is securely clipped or inserted into the bracket.
