Product Information
Full details
The Viavito Floor Pump with Pressure Gauge is designed for cyclists who need quick, accurate, and efficient tire inflation. Its key benefit is ensuring optimal tire pressure for improved performance and safety, preventing both under and over-inflation. A potential caveat is its maximum 160 PSI capacity, which might not suit highly specialized, extremely high-pressure needs. This versatile pump features a large, easy-to-read gauge, a universal valve head, and a durable construction for reliable use on road and mountain bikes.

FAQs
What types of bicycle valves does this pump work with?
The Viavito Floor Pump features a universal valve head that is compatible with Schrader, Presta, and Dunlop valves.
What is the maximum tire pressure this pump can handle?
This pump has a high-pressure capacity and can inflate tires up to 160 PSI.
How do I read the pressure gauge?
The gauge is a large 50 mm dial. Simply look at the needle on the gauge to see the current tire pressure in PSI.
Is this pump suitable for both road and mountain bikes?
Yes, its high-pressure capacity and universal valve head make it suitable for both road bike tires (which typically require higher pressures) and mountain bike tires (which typically require lower pressures).
How durable is the pump?
The pump is built with a solid steel barrel, a durable hose resistant to cracking, and a stable plastic base, designed for frequent use.
Can I use this pump outdoors?
Yes, the pump has a compact and weather-resistant design, making it suitable for use outdoors, though it is recommended to store it in a dry place when not in use.
Does the pump require any assembly?
No, the Viavito Floor Pump comes fully assembled and ready for use right out of the box.
Troubleshooting
Pump not inflating tire
Ensure the valve head is securely attached to the tire valve. Check that the correct valve type is selected or that the head is properly seated. Verify the pump is not blocked and the hose is not damaged. Check the pressure gauge to ensure it's not stuck.
Air leaking from valve head during pumping
Reposition the valve head on the tire valve. Ensure the lever on the valve head is fully engaged. If the leak persists, the valve head seal might be worn and may need replacement.
Pressure gauge inaccurate or not moving
Ensure the pump has been used sufficiently to prime the gauge mechanism. If the gauge remains stuck or consistently reads incorrectly, it may need recalibration or replacement.
Pump feels stiff or difficult to operate
Check for any obstructions in the pump barrel or hose. Ensure the pump is on a stable surface. If stiffness persists, the internal seals may require lubrication or the pump may be nearing the end of its lifespan.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Ensures accurate tire pressure for optimal bike performance.
- Universal valve head fits Schrader, Presta, and Dunlop valves.
- Durable construction for long-term reliability.
- Large, easy-to-read pressure gauge.
- Ergonomic handle provides comfortable and effective pumping.
Cons
- Maximum 160 PSI might be insufficient for some niche high-pressure applications.
- Plastic base could be less stable than an all-metal construction on uneven surfaces.
- Requires manual effort for inflation (as expected for a floor pump).
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Viavito Floor Pump requires no assembly. Simply place it on a flat, stable surface and ensure the handle is in the upright position ready for use. It is ready to inflate straight out of the box.
Compatibility: The universal valve head is designed to fit Schrader valves (common on cars and many mountain bikes), Presta valves (common on road bikes and some higher-end mountain bikes), and Dunlop valves (less common but still found on some bicycles). Ensure the valve on your tire is compatible with one of these types.
Care: To maintain the pump's performance, periodically wipe down the barrel and handle with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Check the hose for any signs of wear or cracking and replace if necessary. Store the pump in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, to prolong its lifespan. Periodically check the pressure gauge for accuracy by comparing it with another reliable gauge if possible.
